bindings.rs

//! Binding one field to one environment variable, by name.
//!
//! The [`env`](crate::LoadSpec::env_prefix) layer covers the case where the
//! variable names are yours to choose: `APP_DB_POOL__MAX_SIZE` follows from the
//! prefix, the key and the field. It does not cover the case where they are
//! not.
//!
//! ```text
//! PORT                 the platform picked it — Heroku, Cloud Run, Fly
//! DATABASE_URL         a convention older than this program
//! REDIS_URL            an add-on wrote it into the environment
//! ```
//!
//! None of those can be renamed, and none of them fit a prefix. A binding says
//! *this field comes from that variable*, and nothing else changes:
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! # #[cfg(feature = "toml")] {
//! # use serde::Deserialize;
//! # #[dynamic_config::dynamic_config]
//! # #[derive(Deserialize)] struct ServerConfig { port: u16 }
//! ServerConfig::bind_env("port", "PORT")?;
//!
//! ServerConfig::builder("server")
//!     .file("config.toml")
//!     .env("APP_")
//!     .init()?;
//! # }
//! # Ok::<(), dynamic_config::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! # Where it sits
//!
//! ```text
//! defaults < files < remote < APP_SERVER_* < bindings < flags < overrides
//! ```
//!
//! Just above the prefixed environment layer, because a binding is the more
//! specific statement: somebody named this variable on purpose, and the
//! prefixed one is a convention.
//!
//! # Read at load time, not at binding time
//!
//! The variable is looked up during each `load()`, so a reload picks up a
//! change to it. Binding a variable that is not set contributes nothing — it is
//! not an error, because the whole point is that the platform may or may not
//! have set it.
