Rust Typed Builder Pattern: 5 Core Patterns for Compile-Time Safe Object Construction

编程语言

In the world of Rust, there's no null, no default constructors, no optional parameters—building a complex object means either writing a screenful of Foo { a: 1, b: 2, ... } or using the Builder pattern. But traditional Builders have a fatal flaw: forgot to call .name("xxx")? No compile error—runtime panic. In 2026, Rust's type system gives us a better answer—use Type State to guarantee required fields aren't missing at compile time, use the typed-builder crate to eliminate boilerplate, and use generic Builders for conditional requirements. Today, let's dive deep into 5 core patterns for Rust typed Builder, from manual Builder to type-state, from typed-builder to production-grade composition.

Core Concepts at a Glance

Concept Description Key Technique
Builder Pattern Step-by-step construction of complex objects struct FooBuilder + build()
Type State Track field status with generic parameters Builder<Missing, Missing>
typed-builder Crate for auto-deriving type-safe Builders #[derive(TypedBuilder)]
Generic Builder Express conditional required fields with generics Builder<NameSet = Set>
Validation Builder Execute business rule validation at build time fn build() -> Result<Foo, Error>

Problem Analysis: 5 Pain Points

  1. Missing Required Fields: Traditional Builder's build() returns Option or panics—you don't discover missing fields until runtime
  2. Boilerplate Explosion: 10 fields mean 10 setter methods, 10 Option fields, and one massive build() function
  3. Can't Express Conditional Requirements: If field A is set, field B must also be set; if A isn't set, B is optional—traditional Builders can't express this at compile time
  4. Construction Order Constraints: Some fields must be set before others—traditional Builders can't enforce order
  5. Scattered Validation Logic: Field validation scattered across setters, then validated again at build time—easy to miss

Pattern 1: Manual Builder with Type State Pattern

Use generic parameters to track each field's status, guaranteeing required fields aren't missing at compile time.

use std::marker::PhantomData;

/// Field not set
pub struct Missing;
/// Field set
pub struct Set<T>(PhantomData<T>);

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct ServerConfig {
    pub host: String,
    pub port: u16,
    pub max_connections: u32,
    pub timeout_secs: u64,
    pub enable_tls: bool,
    pub tls_cert_path: Option<String>,
}

pub struct ServerConfigBuilder<HostSet, PortSet> {
    host: Option<String>,
    port: Option<u16>,
    max_connections: u32,
    timeout_secs: u64,
    enable_tls: bool,
    tls_cert_path: Option<String>,
    _host: PhantomData<HostSet>,
    _port: PhantomData<PortSet>,
}

impl ServerConfigBuilder<Missing, Missing> {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            host: None,
            port: None,
            max_connections: 1000,
            timeout_secs: 30,
            enable_tls: false,
            tls_cert_path: None,
            _host: PhantomData,
            _port: PhantomData,
        }
    }
}

impl<PortSet> ServerConfigBuilder<Missing, PortSet> {
    pub fn host(self, host: impl Into<String>) -> ServerConfigBuilder<Set<String>, PortSet> {
        ServerConfigBuilder {
            host: Some(host.into()),
            port: self.port,
            max_connections: self.max_connections,
            timeout_secs: self.timeout_secs,
            enable_tls: self.enable_tls,
            tls_cert_path: self.tls_cert_path,
            _host: PhantomData,
            _port: self._port,
        }
    }
}

impl<HostSet> ServerConfigBuilder<HostSet, Missing> {
    pub fn port(self, port: u16) -> ServerConfigBuilder<HostSet, Set<u16>> {
        ServerConfigBuilder {
            host: self.host,
            port: Some(port),
            max_connections: self.max_connections,
            timeout_secs: self.timeout_secs,
            enable_tls: self.enable_tls,
            tls_cert_path: self.tls_cert_path,
            _host: self._host,
            _port: PhantomData,
        }
    }
}

impl<HostSet, PortSet> ServerConfigBuilder<HostSet, PortSet> {
    pub fn max_connections(mut self, max: u32) -> Self {
        self.max_connections = max;
        self
    }

    pub fn timeout_secs(mut self, secs: u64) -> Self {
        self.timeout_secs = secs;
        self
    }

    pub fn enable_tls(mut self, enable: bool) -> Self {
        self.enable_tls = enable;
        self
    }

    pub fn tls_cert_path(mut self, path: impl Into<String>) -> Self {
        self.tls_cert_path = Some(path.into());
        self
    }
}

// build() is only available when both Host and Port are Set
impl ServerConfigBuilder<Set<String>, Set<u16>> {
    pub fn build(self) -> ServerConfig {
        ServerConfig {
            host: self.host.unwrap(),
            port: self.port.unwrap(),
            max_connections: self.max_connections,
            timeout_secs: self.timeout_secs,
            enable_tls: self.enable_tls,
            tls_cert_path: self.tls_cert_path,
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    // ✅ Compiles: all required fields are set
    let config = ServerConfigBuilder::new()
        .host("0.0.0.0")
        .port(8080)
        .max_connections(5000)
        .timeout_secs(60)
        .enable_tls(true)
        .tls_cert_path("/etc/ssl/cert.pem")
        .build();

    println!("Server config: {:?}", config);

    // ❌ Compile error: missing port field
    // ServerConfigBuilder::new()
    //     .host("0.0.0.0")
    //     .build();
    // error[E0599]: no method named `build` found for struct `ServerConfigBuilder<Set<String>, Missing>`
}

Key Takeaways:

  • Missing and Set<T> are zero-sized types (ZST), zero runtime overhead
  • build() is only available in the Set<String>, Set<u16> state, guaranteeing required fields at compile time
  • Optional fields can be set in any state without changing the type state
  • Field setting order doesn't matter—host then port or port then host both work

Pattern 2: typed-builder Crate Auto-Derivation

Writing type-state Builders manually is tedious? The typed-builder crate does it with one macro.

use typed_builder::TypedBuilder;
use std::time::Duration;

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct DatabaseConfig {
    #[builder(default_code = r#""localhost".into()"#)]
    pub host: String,
    #[builder(default = 5432)]
    pub port: u16,
    pub database: String,
    pub username: String,
    pub password: String,
    #[builder(default = 100)]
    pub max_connections: u32,
    #[builder(default = 30)]
    pub timeout_secs: u64,
    #[builder(default = false)]
    pub enable_ssl: bool,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct HttpClientConfig {
    pub base_url: String,
    #[builder(default = Duration::from_secs(30), setter(into))]
    pub timeout: Duration,
    #[builder(default = 3)]
    pub max_retries: u32,
    #[builder(default, setter(transform = |pairs: Vec<(&str, &str)>| {
        let mut map = reqwest::header::HeaderMap::new();
        for (k, v) in pairs {
            if let (Ok(name), Ok(val)) = (
                reqwest::header::HeaderName::from_bytes(k.as_bytes()),
                reqwest::header::HeaderValue::from_str(v),
            ) {
                map.insert(name, val);
            }
        }
        map
    }))]
    pub headers: reqwest::header::HeaderMap,
}

fn main() {
    let db_config = DatabaseConfig::builder()
        .database("toolsku_prod")
        .username("admin")
        .password("secret123")
        .max_connections(200)
        .build();

    println!("Database config: {:?}", db_config);

    // ❌ Compile error: missing required fields
    // DatabaseConfig::builder()
    //     .database("toolsku_prod")
    //     .build();

    let http_config = HttpClientConfig::builder()
        .base_url("https://api.toolsku.com")
        .timeout(Duration::from_secs(60))
        .headers(vec![("Authorization", "Bearer token123")])
        .build();

    println!("HTTP client config: {:?}", http_config);
}

Key Takeaways:

  • #[builder(default = ...)] marks optional fields; required fields don't have default
  • #[builder(setter(into))] makes setters accept impl Into<T>, more flexible
  • #[builder(setter(transform = ...))] customizes setter logic, like type conversion
  • #[builder(default_code = ...)] uses code expressions as default values

Pattern 3: Generic Builder with Conditional Required Fields

Some fields are "conditionally required"—when A is set, B must also be set; otherwise B is optional. Express this precisely with generic parameters.

use std::marker::PhantomData;

pub struct TlsEnabled;
pub struct TlsDisabled;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct SecureServerConfig {
    pub host: String,
    pub port: u16,
    pub enable_tls: bool,
    pub tls_cert: Option<String>,
    pub tls_key: Option<String>,
}

pub struct SecureServerBuilder<TlsState> {
    host: Option<String>,
    port: Option<u16>,
    enable_tls: bool,
    tls_cert: Option<String>,
    tls_key: Option<String>,
    _tls: PhantomData<TlsState>,
}

impl SecureServerBuilder<TlsDisabled> {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            host: None, port: None, enable_tls: false,
            tls_cert: None, tls_key: None, _tls: PhantomData,
        }
    }

    pub fn enable_tls(self) -> SecureServerBuilder<TlsEnabled> {
        SecureServerBuilder {
            host: self.host, port: self.port, enable_tls: true,
            tls_cert: self.tls_cert, tls_key: self.tls_key, _tls: PhantomData,
        }
    }
}

impl SecureServerBuilder<TlsEnabled> {
    pub fn tls_cert(mut self, cert: impl Into<String>) -> Self {
        self.tls_cert = Some(cert.into()); self
    }

    pub fn tls_key(mut self, key: impl Into<String>) -> Self {
        self.tls_key = Some(key.into()); self
    }
}

impl<TlsState> SecureServerBuilder<TlsState> {
    pub fn host(mut self, host: impl Into<String>) -> Self {
        self.host = Some(host.into()); self
    }

    pub fn port(mut self, port: u16) -> Self {
        self.port = Some(port); self
    }
}

impl SecureServerBuilder<TlsDisabled> {
    pub fn build(self) -> Result<SecureServerConfig, String> {
        let host = self.host.ok_or("host is required")?;
        let port = self.port.ok_or("port is required")?;
        Ok(SecureServerConfig { host, port, enable_tls: false, tls_cert: None, tls_key: None })
    }
}

impl SecureServerBuilder<TlsEnabled> {
    pub fn build(self) -> Result<SecureServerConfig, String> {
        let host = self.host.ok_or("host is required")?;
        let port = self.port.ok_or("port is required")?;
        let tls_cert = self.tls_cert.ok_or("tls_cert is required when TLS is enabled")?;
        let tls_key = self.tls_key.ok_or("tls_key is required when TLS is enabled")?;
        Ok(SecureServerConfig { host, port, enable_tls: true, tls_cert: Some(tls_cert), tls_key: Some(tls_key) })
    }
}

fn main() -> Result<(), String> {
    let config_no_tls = SecureServerBuilder::new()
        .host("0.0.0.0")
        .port(8080)
        .build()?;

    let config_with_tls = SecureServerBuilder::new()
        .host("0.0.0.0")
        .port(443)
        .enable_tls()
        .tls_cert("/etc/ssl/cert.pem")
        .tls_key("/etc/ssl/key.pem")
        .build()?;

    Ok(())
}

Key Takeaways:

  • TlsEnabled/TlsDisabled mark TLS state; different states have different build() implementations
  • Enabling TLS triggers a state transition—the compiler "knows" you enabled TLS
  • Conditional required field validation happens in build(), with clearer error messages

Pattern 4: Validation Builder with Build-Time Checks

Business rule validation shouldn't be scattered across setters—it should be executed uniformly at build() time.

use std::collections::HashMap;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum ValidationError {
    FieldRequired { field: String, reason: String },
    FieldRange { field: String, min: String, max: String, actual: String },
    Custom(String),
}

impl std::fmt::Display for ValidationError {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
        match self {
            Self::FieldRequired { field, reason } => write!(f, "Field '{}' is required: {}", field, reason),
            Self::FieldRange { field, min, max, actual } => {
                write!(f, "Field '{}' out of range: expected {}~{}, got {}", field, min, max, actual)
            }
            Self::Custom(msg) => write!(f, "{}", msg),
        }
    }
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum EvictionPolicy { Lru, Lfu, Fifo, Ttl }

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct CacheConfig {
    pub max_size_mb: u64,
    pub ttl_secs: u64,
    pub eviction_policy: EvictionPolicy,
    pub namespace: String,
    pub enable_compression: bool,
    pub compression_level: u32,
    pub tags: HashMap<String, String>,
}

pub struct CacheConfigBuilder {
    max_size_mb: Option<u64>,
    ttl_secs: Option<u64>,
    eviction_policy: Option<EvictionPolicy>,
    namespace: Option<String>,
    enable_compression: Option<bool>,
    compression_level: Option<u32>,
    tags: HashMap<String, String>,
}

impl CacheConfigBuilder {
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            max_size_mb: None, ttl_secs: None, eviction_policy: None,
            namespace: None, enable_compression: None, compression_level: None,
            tags: HashMap::new(),
        }
    }

    pub fn max_size_mb(mut self, size: u64) -> Self { self.max_size_mb = Some(size); self }
    pub fn ttl_secs(mut self, secs: u64) -> Self { self.ttl_secs = Some(secs); self }
    pub fn eviction_policy(mut self, policy: EvictionPolicy) -> Self { self.eviction_policy = Some(policy); self }
    pub fn namespace(mut self, ns: impl Into<String>) -> Self { self.namespace = Some(ns.into()); self }
    pub fn enable_compression(mut self, enable: bool) -> Self { self.enable_compression = Some(enable); self }
    pub fn compression_level(mut self, level: u32) -> Self { self.compression_level = Some(level); self }
    pub fn tag(mut self, key: impl Into<String>, value: impl Into<String>) -> Self {
        self.tags.insert(key.into(), value.into()); self
    }

    pub fn build(self) -> Result<CacheConfig, Vec<ValidationError>> {
        let mut errors = Vec::new();

        let max_size_mb = match self.max_size_mb {
            Some(v) if v > 0 => v,
            Some(v) => { errors.push(ValidationError::FieldRange { field: "max_size_mb".into(), min: "1".into(), max: "unlimited".into(), actual: v.to_string() }); v }
            None => { errors.push(ValidationError::FieldRequired { field: "max_size_mb".into(), reason: "Cache must have a maximum size".into() }); 0 }
        };

        let ttl_secs = match self.ttl_secs {
            Some(v) if v > 0 => v,
            Some(v) => { errors.push(ValidationError::FieldRange { field: "ttl_secs".into(), min: "1".into(), max: "unlimited".into(), actual: v.to_string() }); v }
            None => { errors.push(ValidationError::FieldRequired { field: "ttl_secs".into(), reason: "Cache must have a TTL".into() }); 0 }
        };

        let enable_compression = self.enable_compression.unwrap_or(false);
        if enable_compression && self.compression_level.is_none() {
            errors.push(ValidationError::FieldRequired { field: "compression_level".into(), reason: "Compression level required when compression is enabled".into() });
        }

        if !errors.is_empty() { return Err(errors); }

        Ok(CacheConfig {
            max_size_mb, ttl_secs,
            eviction_policy: self.eviction_policy.unwrap_or(EvictionPolicy::Lru),
            namespace: self.namespace.unwrap_or_else(|| "default".into()),
            enable_compression,
            compression_level: self.compression_level.unwrap_or(6),
            tags: self.tags,
        })
    }
}

fn main() -> Result<(), Vec<ValidationError>> {
    let config = CacheConfigBuilder::new()
        .max_size_mb(1024)
        .ttl_secs(300)
        .eviction_policy(EvictionPolicy::Lru)
        .namespace("toolsku_cache")
        .enable_compression(true)
        .compression_level(6)
        .tag("env", "production")
        .build()?;

    println!("Cache config: {:?}", config);
    Ok(())
}

Key Takeaways:

  • Collect all validation errors and return them at once, rather than stopping at the first one
  • Validation logic is centralized in build(), keeping setters pure
  • Conditional validation (like "compression level required when compression is enabled") is handled uniformly in build
  • Returns Result<T, Vec<ValidationError>>, making it easy for UI layers to display all errors

Pattern 5: Production-Grade Builder Composition

In real projects, multiple Builders need to work together. Use composition to build complex configurations.

use typed_builder::TypedBuilder;
use std::collections::HashMap;

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct NetworkConfig {
    #[builder(default_code = r#""0.0.0.0".into()"#)]
    pub bind_address: String,
    #[builder(default = 8080)]
    pub port: u16,
    #[builder(default = 100)]
    pub max_connections: u32,
    #[builder(default = 30)]
    pub timeout_secs: u64,
    #[builder(default = true)]
    pub enable_keepalive: bool,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct StorageConfig {
    pub backend: StorageBackend,
    #[builder(default = 1024)]
    pub max_size_mb: u64,
    #[builder(default = 300)]
    pub ttl_secs: u64,
    #[builder(default = 3)]
    pub replication_factor: u32,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum StorageBackend { Redis, Memcached, InMemory }

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct SecurityConfig {
    #[builder(default = true)]
    pub enable_auth: bool,
    #[builder(default_code = r#"Some("HS256".into())"#)]
    pub jwt_algorithm: Option<String>,
    #[builder(default)]
    pub allowed_origins: Vec<String>,
    #[builder(default = 3600)]
    pub token_expiry_secs: u64,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct LoggingConfig {
    #[builder(default_code = r#""info".into()"#)]
    pub level: String,
    #[builder(default = true)]
    pub enable_json_format: bool,
    #[builder(default_code = r#"Some("stdout".into())"#)]
    pub output_path: Option<String>,
    #[builder(default)]
    pub extra_fields: HashMap<String, String>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, TypedBuilder)]
pub struct AppConfig {
    pub app_name: String,
    #[builder(default_code = r#""1.0.0".into()"#)]
    pub version: String,
    pub network: NetworkConfig,
    pub storage: StorageConfig,
    pub security: SecurityConfig,
    pub logging: LoggingConfig,
}

impl AppConfig {
    pub fn development(app_name: impl Into<String>) -> AppConfigBuilder {
        AppConfig::builder()
            .app_name(app_name)
            .network(NetworkConfig::builder().bind_address("127.0.0.1").port(3000).max_connections(10).build())
            .storage(StorageConfig::builder().backend(StorageBackend::InMemory).max_size_mb(128).build())
            .security(SecurityConfig::builder().enable_auth(false).build())
            .logging(LoggingConfig::builder().level("debug").enable_json_format(false).build())
    }

    pub fn production(app_name: impl Into<String>) -> AppConfigBuilder {
        AppConfig::builder()
            .app_name(app_name)
            .network(NetworkConfig::builder().bind_address("0.0.0.0").port(8080).max_connections(10000).timeout_secs(60).build())
            .storage(StorageConfig::builder().backend(StorageBackend::Redis).max_size_mb(4096).replication_factor(3).build())
            .security(SecurityConfig::builder().enable_auth(true).jwt_algorithm("RS256").allowed_origins(vec!["https://toolsku.com".into()]).token_expiry_secs(7200).build())
            .logging(LoggingConfig::builder().level("info").enable_json_format(true).output_path("/var/log/toolsku/app.log").build())
    }
}

fn main() {
    let dev_config = AppConfig::development("toolsku-dev").version("0.1.0").build();
    println!("Dev config: {:?}", dev_config);

    let prod_config = AppConfig::production("toolsku").version("2.5.0").build();
    println!("Prod config: {:?}", prod_config);
}

Key Takeaways:

  • Each sub-configuration has its own independent Builder with clear responsibilities
  • AppConfig is built by composing sub-Builders, with clear hierarchy
  • Preset methods (development()/production()) provide out-of-the-box configurations
  • Presets return AppConfigBuilder, allowing further customization to override preset values

Pitfall Guide

Pitfall 1: Forgetting PhantomData in Type-State Builder

// ❌ Wrong: Generic parameter not used
struct Builder<HostSet> {
    host: Option<String>,
    // error[E0392]: parameter `HostSet` is never used
}

// ✅ Correct: Use PhantomData to mark generic parameter
struct Builder<HostSet> {
    host: Option<String>,
    _host: PhantomData<HostSet>,
}

Pitfall 2: typed-builder Default Value Type Mismatch

// ❌ Wrong: default value type doesn't match field type
#[derive(TypedBuilder)]
struct Config {
    #[builder(default = "localhost")]  // &str can't be assigned to String
    pub host: String,
}

// ✅ Correct: Use default_code
#[derive(TypedBuilder)]
struct Config {
    #[builder(default_code = r#""localhost".into()"#)]
    pub host: String,
}

Pitfall 3: Builder Not Send/Sync

// ❌ Wrong: PhantomData<*const ()> is not Send/Sync
struct Builder<HostSet> {
    _host: PhantomData<*const ()>,
}

// ✅ Correct: Use PhantomData<fn() -> HostSet>
struct Builder<HostSet> {
    _host: PhantomData<fn() -> HostSet>,  // fn() -> T is Send+Sync
}

Pitfall 4: Losing Fields During Type State Transition

// ❌ Wrong: Forgot to pass all fields during transition
impl Builder<Missing> {
    fn host(self, host: String) -> Builder<Set<String>> {
        Builder {
            host: Some(host),
            _host: PhantomData,
            // port field lost!
        }
    }
}

// ✅ Correct: Ensure all fields are passed
impl Builder<Missing> {
    fn host(self, host: String) -> Builder<Set<String>> {
        Builder {
            host: Some(host),
            port: self.port,  // Pass port
            _host: PhantomData,
        }
    }
}

Pitfall 5: Validation Builder Returning Single Error

// ❌ Wrong: Only returns first error
fn build(self) -> Result<Config, ValidationError> {
    let host = self.host.ok_or(ValidationError::FieldRequired("host"))?;
    let port = self.port.ok_or(ValidationError::FieldRequired("port"))?;
    Ok(Config { host, port })
}

// ✅ Correct: Collect all errors and return at once
fn build(self) -> Result<Config, Vec<ValidationError>> {
    let mut errors = Vec::new();
    // ... collect all errors ...
    if !errors.is_empty() { return Err(errors); }
    Ok(Config { /* ... */ })
}

Error Troubleshooting Table

Error Symptom Possible Cause Troubleshooting Method Solution
"no method named build" Required field not set Check Builder's generic state Ensure all required field setters are called
E0392 parameter never used PhantomData missing Check if generic parameter is used Add PhantomData<T> field
Type mismatch Default value type wrong Check #[builder(default = ...)] Use default_code or correct type
Builder not Send PhantomData uses raw pointer Check PhantomData's type parameter Use PhantomData<fn() -> T>
Field value lost Type state transition missing field Check field passing in impl blocks Ensure all fields are assigned in transitions
Long compile time Too many generic parameters Check Builder's generic count Use typed-builder to reduce manual generics
Setter not chainable Setter returns Self but uses mut Check setter signature Ensure returning Self not &mut Self
Circular dependency A's build needs B, B's build needs A Check dependencies between Builders Split into independent Builders
Duplicate validation Validation in both setter and build Check validation code location Only validate in build
Defaults not taking effect Forgot #[builder(default)] Check optional field annotations Add default for fields with default values

Advanced Optimization

  1. Macro-Simplified Type State: Write a declare_builder! macro that auto-generates type-state Builder boilerplate code

  2. Builder Serialization: Make Builder support serde::Serialize to save half-built configs to files

  3. Environment Variable Integration: Builder setters auto-read environment variables as defaults, like .port_from_env("APP_PORT")

  4. Config Hot Update: Config objects built by Builder support a merge() method for runtime config merging without rebuilding

  5. Compile-Time Field Count: Use const generics to track the number of set fields, guaranteeing at least N fields are set at compile time

Comparison Table

Approach Compile-Time Safety Boilerplate Flexibility Use Case
Traditional Builder ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple objects
Type-State Builder ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ Strict required fields
typed-builder ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most projects
Validation Builder ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Complex business rules
Composition Builder ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Multi-module configs

Summary

Rust's type system evolves the Builder pattern from "runtime praying" to "compile-time guarantee"—type state tracks field status at compile time, typed-builder eliminates boilerplate, generic Builders express conditional requirements, validation Builders unify business rules, and composition Builders build complex configs. Remember: the essence of Rust Builder isn't "method chaining"—it's "making illegal states unrepresentable." If a config can be built, it must be valid.
