# ๐ `backoff-config` โ๏ธ
`backoff-config` makes configuring `backoff` more flexible by providing a unified `Backoff` strategy enum and a
`BackoffConfig` that supports deserialization.
The actual backoff logic is powered by the awesome [backon](https://crates.io/crates/backon) crate. Make sure to check
out [backon](https://crates.io/crates/backon) to explore its amazing features and ergonomics!
`backoff-config` integrates with [backon](https://crates.io/crates/backon) by implementing:
- [`backon::BackoffBuilder`](https://docs.rs/backon/1.5.0/backon/trait.BackoffBuilder.html) for [
`BackoffConfig`](src/backoff_config.rs).
- [`backon::Backoff`](https://docs.rs/backon/1.5.0/backon/trait.Backoff.html) for [`Backoff`](src/backoff.rs).
## Usage
1. Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
backoff-config = "0.1"
```
2. Load [`BackoffConfig`](src/backoff_config.rs) from your data source. Hereโs an example using environment variables
and the [figment](https://crates.io/crates/figment) configuration library:
```rust
use serde::Deserialize;
#[derive(Deserialize)]
pub struct Config {
pub backoff: BackoffConfig,
}
// Example environment variables:
// CONFIG__BACKOFF__STRATEGY=Constant
// CONFIG__BACKOFF__DELAY=1s
// CONFIG__BACKOFF__MAX_RETRIES=123
fn main() {
let config = figment::Figment::new()
.merge(Env::prefixed("CONFIG__").split("__"))
.extract::<Config>()?;
// do something with `config.backoff`
}
```
3. Use `config.backoff` to build and apply your backoff strategy when calling retryable operations.
## Examples
For an end-to-end usage example, see the [TOML example](examples/toml.rs) and run it with:
```bash
cargo run --example toml
```
