🛠️ Quick Start

Basic Usage

use docker_network::{new_network_manager, NetworkConfig, NetworkError};

fn main() -> Result<(), NetworkError> {
    // Create network manager
    let mut manager = new_network_manager();
    
    // Configure network
    let config = NetworkConfig {
        name: "my-network".to_string(),
        driver: "bridge".to_string(),
        ipam: None,
        options: None,
    };
    
    // Create network
    let network = manager.create_network(&config)?;
    println!("Created network: {}", network.name);
    
    // Connect container to network
    manager.connect_container("my-container", &network.id)?;
    println!("Connected container to network");
    
    // List networks
    let networks = manager.list_networks()?;
    for net in networks {
        println!("Network: {} ({})\n", net.name, net.driver);
    }
    
    Ok(())
}
