toml-cfg
Rough ideas:
- Crates can declare variables that can be overridden
- Anything const, e.g. usize, strings, etc.
- (Only) The "root crate" can override these variables by including a
cfg.toml
file
Config file
# a toml-cfg file
[lib-one]
buffer_size = 4096
[lib-two]
greeting = "Guten tag!"
In the library
// lib-one
#[toml_cfg::toml_config]
pub struct Config {
#[default(32)]
buffer_size: usize,
}
// lib-two
#[toml_cfg::toml_config]
pub struct Config {
#[default("hello")]
greeting: &'static str,
}
Look at what we get!
# Print the "buffer_size" value from the `lib-one` crate.
# Since it has no cfg.toml, we just get the default value.
