aoc-cache

A way of caching your input from the great and popular Advent of Code.

This is an attempt to reduce server load for the creator.

Downloads using reqwest, stores cache in temporary files using scratch.

Since we use scratch, a cargo clean will remove the cache and cause new downloads for new runs.

Example

use aoc_cache::get_input_from_web_or_cache;
// my.cookie is a file containing the cookie string.
const MY_COOKIE: &str = include_str!("my.cookie");
let input: Result<String, aoc_cache::Error> = // Grabs from web if it's the first run
    get_input_from_web_or_cache("https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/1/input", MY_COOKIE);
let input: Result<String, aoc_cache::Error> = // Grabs from cache
    get_input_from_web_or_cache("https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/1/input", MY_COOKIE);
