nu-experimental 0.113.0

//! Experimental Options for the Nu codebase.
//!
//! This crate defines all experimental options used in Nushell.
//!
//! An [`ExperimentalOption`] is basically a fancy global boolean.
//! It should be set very early during initialization and lets us switch between old and new
//! behavior for parts of the system.
//!
//! The goal is to have a consistent way to handle experimental flags across the codebase, and to
//! make it easy to find all available options.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Using an option is simple:
//!
//! ```rust
//! if nu_experimental::EXAMPLE.get() {
//!     // new behavior
//! } else {
//!     // old behavior
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Adding New Options
//!
//! 1. Create a new module in `options.rs`.
//! 2. Define a marker struct and implement `ExperimentalOptionMarker` for it.
//! 3. Add a new static using `ExperimentalOption::new`.
//! 4. Add the static to [`ALL`].
//!
//! That's it. See [`EXAMPLE`] in `options/example.rs` for a complete example.
//!
//! # For Users
//!
//! Users can view enabled options using either `version` or `debug experimental-options`.
//!
//! To enable or disable options, use either the [`NU_EXPERIMENTAL_OPTIONS`](ENV) environment
//! variable, or pass them via CLI using `--experimental-options`.
//!
//! ## Environment variable
//!
//! Set [`ENV`] before launching `nu` (comma-separated list of options):
//!
//! ```sh
//! NU_EXPERIMENTAL_OPTIONS=example=true,pipefail=false nu
//! ```
//!
//! ## Command line (`--experimental-options`)
//!
//! Each `--experimental-options` flag takes **one** shell argument. That argument can be a
//! single option, a comma-separated list, or a bracketed list (with optional spaces). You can
//! repeat the flag to add more options.
//!
//! ```sh
//! nu --experimental-options example=true
//! nu --experimental-options '[example=true, pipefail=false]'
//! nu --experimental-options example=true --experimental-options pipefail=false
//! ```
//!
//! To run a script with experimental options, pass the script path **after** the option value
//! (the script is not part of the option list):
//!
//! ```sh
//! nu --experimental-options '[example=true]' script.nu
//! ```
//!
//! # For Embedders
//!
//! If you're embedding Nushell, prefer using [`parse_env`] or [`parse_iter`] to load options.
//!
//! `parse_iter` is useful if you want to feed in values from other sources.
//! Since options are expected to stay stable during runtime, make sure to do this early.
//!
//! You can also call [`ExperimentalOption::set`] manually, but be careful with that.
