A lib help generate toml example
## Introduction
This crate provides the `TomlExample` trait and an accompanying derive macro.
Deriving `TomlExample` on a struct will provide `to_example` function help generate toml example file base documentation
- support `#[serde(default)]`, `#[serde(default = "function_name")]` attributes (`serde` feature, opt-in)
- provide `#[toml_example(default)]`, `#[toml_example(default = 0)]`, `#[toml_example(default = "default_string")]` attributes
- The order matter of attribute macro, if `#[serde(default = ..]` and `#[toml_example(default = ..)]` existing at the same time with different value
## Quick Example
```rust
use toml_example::TomlExample;
/// Config is to arrange something or change the controls on a computer or other device
/// so that it can be used in a particular way
#[derive(TomlExample)]
struct Config {
/// Config.a should be a number
a: usize,
/// Config.b should be a string
b: String,
/// Optional Config.c is a number
c: Option<usize>,
/// Config.d is a list of number
d: Vec<usize>,
/// Config.e should be a number
#[serde(default = "default_int")]
e: usize,
/// Config.f should be a string
#[serde(default = "default_str")]
f: String,
/// Config.g should be a number
#[toml_example(default =7)]
g: usize,
/// Config.f should be a string
#[toml_example(default = "seven")]
h: String,
}
fn default_int() -> usize {
7
}
fn default_str() -> String {
"seven".into()
}
Config::to_toml_example("example.toml"); // write example to a file
let example = Config::toml_example();
```
Toml example base on the doc string of each field
```toml
# Config is to arrange something or change the controls on a computer or other device
# so that it can be used in a particular way
# Config.a should be a number
a = 0
# Config.b should be a string
b = ""
# Optional Config.c is a number
# c = 0
# Config.d is a list of number
# d = [ 0, ]
# Config.e should be a number
e = 7
# Config.f should be a string
f = "seven"
# Config.g should be a number
g = 7
# Config.h should be a string
h = "seven"
```
## Nesting Struct
A nesting struct wrap with `Option<T>`, `Vec<T>`, `HashMap<String, T>`, `BTreeMap<String, T>` are handled.
Please add `#[toml_example(nesting)]`, or `#[toml_example(nesting = prefix)]` on the field.
`#[toml_example(nesting)]`
```rust
/// Service with specific port
#[derive(TomlExample)]
struct Service {
/// port should be a number
#[toml_example(default = 80)]
port: usize,
}
#[derive(TomlExample)]
#[allow(dead_code)]
struct Node {
/// Services are running in the node
#[toml_example(nesting)]
#[toml_example(default = http)]
services: HashMap<String, Service>,
}
```
`Node::toml_example()` will be following string.
```toml
# Services are running in the node
# Service with specific port
[services.http]
# port should be a number
port = 80
```
If you want an optional field become a required field in example,
place the `#[toml_example(require)]` on the field.
If you want to skip some field you can use `#[toml_example(skip)]`,
the `#[serde(skip)]`, `#[serde(skip_deserializing)]` also works.
```rust
use toml_example::TomlExample;
#[derive(TomlExample)]
struct Config {
/// Config.a is an optional number
#[toml_example(require)]
a: Option<usize>,
/// Config.b is an optional string
#[toml_example(require)]
b: Option<String>,
#[toml_example(require)]
#[toml_example(default = "third")]
c: Option<String>,
#[toml_example(skip)]
d: usize,
}
```
```toml
# Config.a is an optional number
a = 0
# Config.b is an optional string
b = ""
c = "third"
```
