I have a struct as follows: @kwdef struct Node index value optional_attribute = 0.0 end @kwdef struct Network nodes::Vector{node} = Node[] end Now, I can define a Network object and assign nodes to it. However, I want to do it a bit differently using macros. Something like: #Init…

Why would you want to use a macro? The job of macros is to transform expressions before run time. A function will do the trick. node!(V::Network, i,v; kwargs...) = push!(V.nodes, Node(;(index=i,value=v,kwargs...)...))
