A builder for [base16] and [base24] templates using the `0.11.1`
[builder specification].
This crate contains a command-line tool to build base16 and base24
templates. It is also a library crate which you can use to directly
build templates within your own Rust application.

tinted-builder-rust build path/to/base16-template
```
## Commands
The following is a table of the available subcommands for the CLI tool (tinted-builder-rust), including the descriptions and any notable arguments.
| `sync` | Installs and or updates latest schemes. | - | `tinted-builder-rust sync` | `--quiet` (silence stderr and stdout) |
| `build` | Builds the themes of a template. | `template_path`: Path to template directory. | `tinted-builder-rust build ./path/to/base16-template` | `--quiet` (silence stderr and stdout), `--sync` (equivalent of running `tinted-builder-rust sync` before `tinted-builder-rust build`) |
## Flags
| `--schemes-dir` `-s` | Path to a custom local schemes directory to use when building. Only necessary if the [latest schemes repository] is not desired. | `build` | `tinted-builder-rust build . --schemes-dir=/path/to/schemes/dir` |
| `--data-dir` `-d` | Specifies a custom path for the data directory. | All | Linux: `$XDG_DATA_HOME/tinted-theming/tinted-builder-rust`. macOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/tinted-theming/tinted-builder-rust` | `tinted-builder-rust sync --data-dir /path/to/custom/data-dir` |
| `--help` `-h` | Displays help information for the subcommand. | All | - | `tinted-builder-rust --help`, `tinted-builder-rust build --help`, etc |
| `--version` `-V` | Shows the version of tinted-builder-rust. | All | - | `tinted-builder-rust --version` |
## List usage
`tinted-builder-rust` supports `list`, `listbase16` and `listbase24`
scheme systems. This allows for listing scheme information in a single
file, eg:
`template-repo/templates/config.yaml`:
```yaml
some-base16-list:
filename: "base16-list.md"
supported-systems: [listbase16]
some-base24-list:
filename: "base24-list.md"
supported-systems: [listbase24]
list-all:
filename: "list-all.md"
supported-systems: [list]
```
With an example template being `templates/some-base16-list.mustache`:
```text
{{#schemes}}
{{system}}-{{slug}} (variant: {{variant}})
{{/schemes}}
```
Note: These are unofficial scheme-systems, meaning it's not
part of the Tinted Theming scheme specification.
## Builder specification
tinted-builder-rust implements the `0.11.1` [builder specification]. This
specification details the scheme yaml format or schema as well as the
variables the builder should provide when rendering template mustache
file. Have a look at the [builder specification] document for more
details.
