# `sys_traits`
Trait per function for system related functionality.
Write functions that specify only the system functions they need.
```rs
use sys_traits::FsWriteFile;
use sys_traits::SystemRandom;
pub fn write_random_data<TSys: FsWriteFile + SystemRandom>(
sys: &TSys,
file_path: &Path,
) -> std::io::Result<()> {
let mut buf = [0u8; 16];
sys.sys_random(&mut buf)?;
sys.fs_write_file(file_path, buf)
}
```
Now a caller only needs to provide a type that implements those two functions.
## `#[sys_traits::auto_impl]`
Use the `#[sys_traits::auto_impl]` macro to reduce boilerplate when wanting to
automatically implement a trait for `T` when `T` implements the required traits.
This is useful for aliasing and reducing verbosity when using this crate.
```diff
+#[sys_traits::auto_impl]
pub trait WriteRandomDataSys: FsWriteFile + SystemRandom
{
}
-impl<T> DenoResolverSys for T where T: FsWriteFile + SystemRandom
-{
-}
```
## Implementations
Comes with two implementations that implement all the traits.
- `sys_traits::impl::RealSys` - A real implementation of the current system.
- Automatically works with Wasm in Deno
- Will implement Node.js support once I need it
(https://github.com/dsherret/sys_traits/issues/4)
- `sys_traits::impl::InMemorySys` - An in-memory system useful for testing.
## Creating an implementation
To create an implementation you must implement the traits; however, some traits
require implementing `Base<TraitName>` traits instead. For example, instead of
implementing `FsWrite`, you must implement `BaseFsWrite`:
```rs
pub struct MyCustomFileSystem;
impl sys_traits::BaseFsWrite for MyCustomFileSystem {
fn base_fs_write(&self, path: &Path, data: &[u8]) -> std::io::Result<()> {
// ...
}
}
```
The `sys_traits::FsWrite` trait gets automatically implemented for this as its
definition is:
```rs
pub trait FsWrite: BaseFsWrite {
#[inline]
fn fs_write(
&self,
path: impl AsRef<Path>,
data: impl AsRef<[u8]>,
) -> std::io::Result<()> {
self.base_fs_write(path.as_ref(), data.as_ref())
}
}
impl<T: BaseFsWrite> FsWrite for T {}
```
There's two reasons for this:
1. You can't box traits with `impl ...`.
2. By design it limits code generation of multiple kinds of `impl AsRef<Path>`
and `impl AsRef<[u8]>` to only being a single statement.
## Error Context
By default, filesystem errors don't include path information:
```
No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
Use `.with_paths_in_errors()` to wrap operations with context that includes the
operation name and path:
```rs
use sys_traits::PathsInErrorsExt;
use sys_traits::impls::RealSys;
let sys = RealSys;
// returns: "failed to read '/path/to/file': No such file or directory (os error 2)"
sys.with_paths_in_errors().fs_read("/path/to/file")?;
```
The returned `io::Error` preserves the original error kind and can be downcast
to `OperationError` for programmatic access:
```rs
use sys_traits::OperationError;
use sys_traits::OperationErrorKind;
let err = sys.with_paths_in_errors().fs_read("/nonexistent").unwrap_err();
// error kind is preserved
assert_eq!(err.kind(), std::io::ErrorKind::NotFound);
// downcast for programmatic access
if let Some(op_err) = err.get_ref().and_then(|e| e.downcast_ref::<OperationError>()) {
assert_eq!(op_err.operation(), "read");
assert_eq!(op_err.kind(), &OperationErrorKind::WithPath("/nonexistent".to_string()));
}
```
