defmodule WandererApp.GenImpl do
  @moduledoc "Simple utility for avoiding boilerplate in a GenServer implementation."

  @doc """
  If your GenServer is a thin wrapper around a struct, you can make its handle_call/3 and/or
  handle_cast/2 implementations be "just this."

  Use it like this:

      GenImpl.apply_call(&MyGenServer.Impl.update/3, %MyGenServer.Impl{}, [arg2, arg3])

  This will result in a call that looks like:

      MyGenServer.Impl.update(%MyGenServer.Impl{}, arg2, arg3)

  Supports operations that:

  - Update the state struct
  - Return a result tuple, or even just :error
  - Query the state and return a value

  ...but not operations that both modify the state *and* query something.
