smartsheet-rs

smartsheet-rs is a rust crate which provides an async wrapper API that lets you easily interact with the Smartsheet API 2.0.

This is an unofficial SDK I have made to learn Rust a little, but I hope you have fun with it -- I know that I certainly had quite a bit of fun in writing out the implementation for this crate.

Getting Started

Getting started with the smartsheet-rs library is easy:

1. Set SMARTSHEETACCESSTOKEN in your environment; you can also use the SmartsheetApi::from_token constructor to explicitly set the token value. Find out more about Authentication and Access Tokens in the Smartsheet API Documentation.

2. Add these dependencies to your Cargo.toml:

   toml [dependencies] smartsheet-rs = "0.1" tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }

3. Add some usage to your application:

   ```rust use smartsheet_rs::SmartsheetApi;

   [tokio::main]

   async fn main() -> std::result::Result<(), Box> { let smart = SmartsheetApi::from_env()?; println!("Created a Smartsheet API client");

   let sheets = smart.list_sheets().await?;

   println!("Printing sheet names:"); for sheet in sheets.data { println!("\t{}", sheet.name); }

   Ok(()) } ```

A Larger Example

When working with rows and cells in the SmartSheet API, one thing that stands out is that the API purposefully identifies columns by their ID, rather than their title or column name.

However, as humans it's much more natural and convenient to refer to column names when working with the data. Towards that end, the smartsheet-rs crate provides helper struct implementations such as the ColumnMapper and CellGetter in order to simplify interaction with the Smartsheet API.

Here's a quick example of how that would work:

```rust use smartsheet_rs::{CellGetter, ColumnMapper, SmartsheetApi};

// TODO update these values as needed const SHEETID: u64 = 1234567890; const COLUMNNAME: &str = "My Column";

// A simple type alias so as to DRY. type Result = std::result::Result>;

[tokio::main]

async fn main() -> Result<()> { let smart = SmartsheetApi::from_env()?;

let sheet = smart.get_sheet(SHEET_ID).await?;

// Create interchangeable name <-> id mappings for columns in the row
let cols = ColumnMapper::new(&sheet.columns);

// Create a `CellGetter` helper to find cells in a row by *Column Name*
let get_cell = CellGetter::from_mapper(&cols);

// Get the first row in the sheet. We could also access
// a row by index, like `&sheet.rows[i]` for example.
let first_row = sheet.rows.first().unwrap();

// Try to find a cell in the row by it's column name if let Some(cell) = getcell.byname(firstrow, COLUMNNAME) { println!("Here's the cell: {:#?}", *cell); } else { println!("No such cell for the specified column!") }

Ok(())

} ```

Implemented Methods

The following API methods from the official documentation have been implemented currently:

• List Sheets
• List Columns
• Get Sheet
• Get Row

You can check out sample usage of these API methods in the examples/ folder in the project repo on GitHub.

Dependencies

This library uses only the minimum required dependencies, in order to keep the overall size small. This crate uses [hyper][] and [hyper-tls][] internally, to make HTTPS requests to the Smartsheet API.
