Enum SearchMode 

pub enum SearchMode {
    Merge,
    FirstMatch,
}

How found config files are resolved into configuration.

Controls what happens after SearchPath entries have been expanded into directories and checked for config files. Both modes use the same priority-ascending ordering — the search path list does not need to change when switching modes.

See the module-level documentation for use-case examples.

Variants

Merge

Merge all found config files, with later (higher-priority) files overriding earlier ones via deep merge.

This is the default. Use it when configs are sparse overlays (e.g. a project config overrides only output_format while the global config provides the rest).

FirstMatch

Use only the single highest-priority config file found.

Searches from the highest-priority end of the list and stops at the first file that exists. Use it when configs are self-contained and should not be layered (e.g. a code formatter whose project config replaces the global one entirely).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SearchMode

fn clone(&self) -> SearchMode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SearchMode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for SearchMode

fn default() -> SearchMode

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl PartialEq for SearchMode

fn eq(&self, other: &SearchMode) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Copy for SearchMode

impl StructuralPartialEq for SearchMode
