Pre-generation of signature caches

[boesing]

Hey there,

I recently started to use this library.
I was thinking of actually writing a CLI command for CI pipeline which searches for the TreeMapper#map usage and parses the 1st argument (FQCN) from it.

I do want to pass this FQCN to the TypeParser#parse method so that the cacheDirectory entry is being created.

What I found out is, that there is no way to actually get an instance of the TypeParser and I do really would love to avoid instantiating it by myself.

Do you have an idea and/or suggestion on how to retrieve the TypeParser instance with the settings I do pass to the MapperBuilder?

Would love to get some help here so we can pre-generate the cache entries on the filesystem during build-time.

Thanks in advance 🤙🏼

Hi @boesing, I did not give access to the container instance on purpose to avoid giving access to everything (which would result in more maintenance burden).

However, this is a good suggestion, and a part of this feature could even be part of the public API provided by the library, maybe something like MapperBuilder::warmup(SomeClass::class, SomeOtherClass::class). I'd be happy to help/review if you were to add this to the core of the library. 🙂
