Cargo Advent of Code Helper

This is a simple project that aims to be a helper for the Advent of Code.

Implement your solution. Let us do the rest.

Features

• Input downloading
• Running your solution
• Benchmarking of your solution (WIP)

Getting started

Install cargo aoc

Boot a terminal and install the program using cargo install cargo-aoc

Setting up

You will need to find your session token for the AoC in order for cargo-aoc to work. Thankfully, finding your token is easy since it is stored in your Browser's cookies. Open up the devtools of your browser, and then :

• Firefox: "Storage" tab, Cookies, and copy the "Value" field of the session cookie.
• Google Chrome / Chromium: "Application" tab, Cookies, and copy the "Value" field of the session cookie.

Once you have it, simply run : cargo aoc credentials -s {token}

You're now ready to start coding !

NOTE: If for some reason your token has changed, dont forget to change it back.

cargo aoc credentials will show the currently stored user token

Input downloading

cargo aoc input will download an input and store it in input/{year}/{day}.txt.

Please note that by default, we're taking today's date as the argument. Of course, you can change this using :

cargo aoc input -d {day} -y {year}

Running your solution

cargo aoc will run your last implemented day, with your own input.

Need to run an older puzzle, or only a part ? cargo aoc -d {day} -p {part} !

Benchmarking your solution
