icuproviderfs

icu_fs_data_provider is one of the ICU4X components.

It reads ICU4X data files from the filesystem in a given directory. It can also export data to the filesystem via an iterable data provider (see the export module).

Examples

```rust use icuproviderfs::FsDataProvider;

let provider = FsDataProvider::trynew("/path/to/data/directory") .expecterr("Specify a real directory in the line above"); ```

Resource Formats

ICU4X data can be stored in different formats. At the moment there are:

• JSON - Textual format, easy to read
• Bincode - Binary, fast resource format

The directory passed to the FsDataProvider constructor may contain either of them.

Exporting data

To generate the data required for FsDataProvider, use the following script:

bash cargo run --features export-bin -- --cldr-tag 37.0.0 --out ./icu4x-data --all-keys

To export bincode format, use

bash cargo run --features export-bin --featuers bincode --features serialize_none -- --cldr-tag 37.0.0 --out ./icu4x-data --all-keys -s bincode

Notice: In order to use bincode encoded data in production, icu_provider_fs has to be added with bincode feature.
