raz-config

Configuration management for RAZ - handles loading, saving, validation, and inheritance.

Features

• Hierarchical configuration (Global → Workspace → File)
• Configuration versioning and migration
• Built-in validation
• TOML-based configuration files
• Type-safe configuration schema
• Support for command overrides
• Template system for common setups

Usage

use raz_config::{GlobalConfig, WorkspaceConfig, EffectiveConfig};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Load global configuration
    let global = GlobalConfig::load()?;
    
    // Load workspace configuration
    let workspace = WorkspaceConfig::load("/path/to/workspace")?;
    
    // Merge configurations to get effective config
    let effective = EffectiveConfig::new(global, workspace);
    
    // Access configuration values
    let providers = &effective.raz.providers;
    
    Ok(())
}

Template System

RAZ provides a template system for initializing projects with common configurations and extending support for new frameworks.

Current Status

⚠️ Note: Custom template files (.raz/templates/) are not yet implemented in the CLI. This guide documents the planned architecture and how to work with the current system.

Current Options

Built-in Templates

The configuration system includes built-in templates for common project types:

• web - Web development with Leptos and Dioxus
• game - Game development with Bevy
• library - Library development focus
• desktop - Desktop applications with Tauri and Egui

Project-Specific Configuration

You can configure RAZ behavior using .raz/config.toml:

Creating Custom Templates

Template Structure

Custom templates are defined in .raz/templates/ directory in your workspace:

.raz/
├── templates/
│   ├── my-framework.toml
│   ├── custom-test.toml
│   └── microservice.toml
└── overrides.toml

Basic Template Format

# .raz/templates/my-framework.toml
[template]
name = "my-framework"
description = "Custom framework template"
version = "1.0.0"

[detection]
# Files that indicate this framework
indicators = [
    "my-framework.toml",
    "Cargo.toml:dependencies.my-framework",
    "src/main.rs:use my_framework::"
]

# Command patterns for different file types
[commands.binary]
command = "cargo"
args = ["run", "--bin", "{binary_name}"]
env = { MY_FRAMEWORK_ENV = "development" }

[commands.test]
command = "cargo" 
args = ["test", "--package", "{package_name}", "--", "{test_name}", "--exact"]
working_dir = "{workspace_root}"

[commands.example]
command = "my-framework"
args = ["run", "example", "{example_name}"]

[commands.serve]
command = "my-framework"
args = ["serve", "--port", "3000"]
background = true

# Framework-specific options
[validation.options]
allowed = [
    "--port",
    "--env",
    "--config",
    "--verbose"
]

[validation.env_vars]
allowed = [
    "MY_FRAMEWORK_ENV",
    "MY_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG",
    "PORT"
]

Advanced Template Features

Conditional Commands

# Different commands based on file content or location
[commands.test]
command = "cargo"
args = ["test"]

[commands.test.conditions]
# Use different args for integration tests
"tests/" = ["test", "--test", "{test_name}"]
# Use different args for unit tests  
"src/" = ["test", "--package", "{package_name}", "--", "{test_name}", "--exact"]

[commands.test.file_patterns]
# Custom handling for specific file patterns
"*_integration.rs" = { args = ["test", "--test", "{file_stem}"] }
"*_benchmark.rs" = { command = "cargo", args = ["bench", "--bench", "{file_stem}"] }

Dynamic Variables

[variables]
# Define custom variables for use in commands
port = "3000"
config_file = "{workspace_root}/config.toml"
binary_name = "{package_name}-server"

[commands.serve]
command = "my-framework"
args = ["serve", "--port", "{port}", "--config", "{config_file}"]

Environment Detection

[environments]
# Different configurations for different environments
[environments.development]
env = { MY_FRAMEWORK_ENV = "dev", RUST_LOG = "debug" }
args_append = ["--reload"]

[environments.production]
env = { MY_FRAMEWORK_ENV = "prod" }
args_append = ["--optimize"]

[environments.testing]
env = { MY_FRAMEWORK_ENV = "test", RUST_BACKTRACE = "1" }
args_append = ["--no-capture"]

Custom Framework Providers

For more complex frameworks, create a custom provider:

Provider Structure

// src/providers/my_framework.rs
use raz_core::{
    Provider, FileExecutionContext, ExecutableCommand, 
    FrameworkDetection, Position
};
use std::path::Path;

pub struct MyFrameworkProvider;

impl Provider for MyFrameworkProvider {
    fn name(&self) -> &str {
        "my-framework"
    }

    fn detect(&self, context: &FileExecutionContext) -> FrameworkDetection {
        // Check for framework indicators
        if context.has_dependency("my-framework") || 
           context.workspace_root.join("my-framework.toml").exists() {
            FrameworkDetection::Detected {
                confidence: 0.9,
                version: self.detect_version(context),
            }
        } else {
            FrameworkDetection::NotDetected
        }
    }

    fn generate_commands(
        &self,
        context: &FileExecutionContext,
        cursor: Option<Position>,
    ) -> Result<Vec<ExecutableCommand>, ProviderError> {
        let mut commands = Vec::new();

        match context.file_type {
            FileType::Binary => {
                commands.push(self.create_serve_command(context)?);
                commands.push(self.create_build_command(context)?);
            }
            FileType::Test => {
                commands.push(self.create_test_command(context, cursor)?);
            }
            FileType::Example => {
                commands.push(self.create_example_command(context)?);
            }
            _ => {}
        }

        Ok(commands)
    }
}

impl MyFrameworkProvider {
    fn create_serve_command(&self, context: &FileExecutionContext) -> Result<ExecutableCommand, ProviderError> {
        ExecutableCommand::builder()
            .command("my-framework")
            .args(vec!["serve".to_string()])
            .working_dir(context.workspace_root.clone())
            .env("MY_FRAMEWORK_ENV", "development")
            .label("Serve with My Framework")
            .background(true)
            .build()
    }

    fn create_test_command(
        &self, 
        context: &FileExecutionContext, 
        cursor: Option<Position>
    ) -> Result<ExecutableCommand, ProviderError> {
        let mut args = vec!["test".to_string()];
        
        if let Some(test_name) = context.get_test_at_cursor(cursor) {
            args.extend(vec!["--".to_string(), test_name, "--exact".to_string()]);
        }

        ExecutableCommand::builder()
            .command("cargo")
            .args(args)
            .working_dir(context.workspace_root.clone())
            .label("Run test with My Framework")
            .build()
    }

    fn detect_version(&self, context: &FileExecutionContext) -> Option<String> {
        // Parse Cargo.toml or framework config to detect version
        context.parse_dependency_version("my-framework")
    }
}

Registering Custom Providers

// In your application or RAZ configuration
use raz_core::ProviderRegistry;
use my_framework::MyFrameworkProvider;

let mut registry = ProviderRegistry::new();
registry.register(Box::new(MyFrameworkProvider));

// Use the registry for command generation
let commands = registry.generate_commands(&context, cursor)?;

Project-Specific Configuration

Workspace Templates

Create workspace-specific templates in .raz/config.toml:

# .raz/config.toml
[workspace]
name = "my-project"
default_template = "microservice"

[templates.microservice]
inherit = "rust-binary"  # Inherit from built-in template

[templates.microservice.commands.test]
# Override test command for this project
command = "cargo"
args = ["test", "--features", "integration-tests"]
env = { DATABASE_URL = "sqlite::memory:" }

[templates.microservice.commands.serve]
command = "cargo"
args = ["run", "--bin", "server"]
env = { PORT = "8080", LOG_LEVEL = "info" }

# Custom commands specific to this project
[templates.microservice.commands.migrate]
command = "cargo"
args = ["run", "--bin", "migrate"]
label = "Run database migrations"

[templates.microservice.commands.docker-build]
command = "docker"
args = ["build", "-t", "my-project", "."]
label = "Build Docker image"

File-Specific Overrides

# .raz/config.toml
[file_patterns]
# Special handling for specific files
"src/bin/*.rs" = { template = "binary-with-args" }
"tests/integration/*.rs" = { template = "integration-test" }
"examples/*.rs" = { template = "example-with-features" }

[templates.binary-with-args]
[templates.binary-with-args.commands.run]
command = "cargo"
args = ["run", "--bin", "{file_stem}", "--"]
prompt_for_args = true  # Ask user for arguments

[templates.integration-test]
[templates.integration-test.commands.test]
command = "cargo"
args = ["test", "--test", "{file_stem}", "--features", "integration"]
env = { TEST_DATABASE = "test.db" }

label = "Run CLI tests"

[validation.options]
allowed = ["--verbose", "--quiet", "--help", "--version"]

Best Practices

Template Design

1. Keep it simple: Start with basic commands and add complexity gradually
2. Use descriptive labels: Make command purposes clear
3. Provide sensible defaults: Reduce configuration burden
4. Document variables: Comment template variables and their purposes

Framework Detection

1. Use multiple indicators: Don't rely on a single file for detection
2. Check dependencies: Parse Cargo.toml for framework dependencies
3. Validate context: Ensure detected framework is actually being used
4. Handle versions: Account for different framework versions

Command Generation

1. Prioritize commands: Put most common commands first
2. Handle edge cases: Account for different project structures
3. Provide fallbacks: Have backup commands when primary ones fail
4. Support customization: Allow users to override default behavior

Template Usage

Templates can be accessed programmatically through the ConfigTemplates API:

use raz_config::templates::ConfigTemplates;

// Get a built-in template
let web_config = ConfigTemplates::web_development();
let game_config = ConfigTemplates::game_development();

// List available templates
let templates = ConfigTemplates::list_templates();

This system allows RAZ to support any framework or development pattern while maintaining its core philosophy of intelligent, context-aware command generation.
