Configr

The dead easy way to use config files in your project\ \

This will load a config.toml file if it exists, otherwise it will create the needed folders and the toml file.\ It will use the OS user config directories if there is a config file or its forced which are as follows

• Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/app-name/config.toml
• Windows: %APPDATA%/app-name/config.toml
• Mac OS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/app-name/config.toml

otherwise fallback to loading the systemwide config, which is located at

• Unix: /etc/app-name/config.toml
• Others: BINARY_LOCATION/app-name/config.toml

or create it, if it isn't possible to create a systemwide config, it will generate a user config\ It is also a possibility of using a custom config directory

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml

toml configr = "0.8.0"

or use cargo-edit with cargo add configr

then in your project add the following snippet

```rust use configr::{Config, Configr};

[derive(Configr, Deserialize, Serialize, Default)]

pub struct BotConfig { botusername: String, clientid: String, client_secret: String, channel: String, } ```

replacing BotConfig with your configuration struct

and then load you can load the config, usually at the start of the application with the load function to load from the system config directory, this takes the application name and whether to force usage of user config directories

rust // Will load from /home/USER/.config/bot-app/config.toml let config = BotConfig::load("bot app", true).unwrap();

or with the load_with_dir function to use a custom config directory

rust // Will load from /home/USER/bot-app/config.toml let config = BotConfig::load_with_dir("bot app", "$HOME").unwrap();

This will automatically populate the config.toml with default values, based on Default implentation
