vedvaring

A wrapper that automatically saves your object to disk whenever it's modified, ensuring no inconsistency between the in-memory representation and what’s saved on disk.

You only need to implement one method: item_id.

Usage

1. Implement the trait

use vedvaring::{Saved, FsTrait};
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct User {
    id: u32,
    name: String,
}

impl FsTrait for User {
    type Key = u32;

    fn item_id(&self) -> Self::Key {
        self.id
    }
}

2. Create and save

let user = Saved::new(User { id: 1, name: "Bar Fooson".into() });

3. Read and write

let user_id = 1;
let user = Saved::load(user_id).unwrap();

println!("Good morning, {}", user.read().name);

*user.write().name = String::from("Foo Barson"); // Automatically saved after this line.

Storage

Data is by default stored to:

~/.local/share/<crate-name>/<type-name>/<id>

For example, if your crate is named my_crate and you're saving a MyUser,
the file will be:
