lib.rs

//! Hot-reloadable, lock-free application configuration, built on
//! [figment](https://docs.rs/figment).
//!
//! Declare a struct, configure it with the builder, and read it from
//! anywhere:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "json")] {
//! use dynamic_config::dynamic_config;
//! use serde::Deserialize;
//!
//! #[dynamic_config]
//! #[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
//! struct ServerConfig {
//!     #[serde(default = "default_host")]
//!     host: String,
//!     #[serde(default = "default_port")]
//!     port: u16,
//! }
//!
//! # fn default_host() -> String { "0.0.0.0".into() }
//! # fn default_port() -> u16 { 8080 }
//! // `config.json` does not exist here, so every field falls back to its
//! // default — a missing file is skipped, not an error.
//! ServerConfig::builder("server")
//!     .file("config.json")
//!     .env("APP_")
//!     .init()
//!     .expect("defaults cover every field");
//!
//! let config = ServerConfig::current();
//! println!("{}:{}", config.host, config.port);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! The attribute declares — *this type is a configuration* — and generates
//! its storage and accessors. The [`Builder`] configures: where the
//! sources are is runtime data, and it lives in runtime code.
//!
//! This page is the API reference. The guide — profiles, discovery, hot
//! reload, remote stores, encryption, testing — is
//! [**the book**](https://ctolon.github.io/dynamic-config/).
//!
//! # What the attribute generates
//!
//! The attribute declares; the builder configures. What gets generated is
//! the type-bound surface:
//!
//! | Method | Description |
//! |---|---|
//! | `builder(key) -> Builder<Self>` | Where everything starts: state the sources, `init()`. |
//! | `current() -> Arc<Self>` | The current snapshot. Panics before an install. |
//! | `try_current() -> Option<Arc<Self>>` | The current snapshot, or `None`. |
//! | `replace(Self)` | Atomically swap in a new snapshot. |
//! | `on_reload(f)` | Run a callback on every later reload, for the life of the process. |
//! | `on_reload_scoped(f) -> HookGuard` | The same, until the guard is dropped. |
//! | `on_reload_with(f)` | The same, told *why*: a [`ReloadEvent`] carrying the [`ReloadReason`], the metadata, and `previous: None` on the first install. |
//! | `status() -> ConfigStatus` | Which generation is live, when it landed, why, and how many reloads have failed since one worked. No I/O. |
//! | `set_default(path, value)` | A fallback used only when nothing else supplies the key. |
//! | `set_override(path, value)` | A value that wins over every file and variable. |
//! | `clear_defaults()` / `clear_overrides()` | Drop them again. |
//! | `changes()` | With `async`: a handle woken by every later reload. |
//!
//! Everything about *sources* lives on the [`Builder`] the generated
//! `builder(key)` returns: `.file(..)`, `.discover(name, paths)`,
//! `.env(prefix)`, `.strict_env()`, `.env_file(..)`, `.profile_env(..)`,
//! `.cache(path, mode)`, `.validate(f)` — then `.load()`, `.init()`,
//! `.init_and_current()` (the pair, in one call), `.watch(debounce)`,
//! `.explain(path)`, `.check()`, and with `async`, `.load_async()` /
//! `.init_async()` / `.init_and_current_async()`. A successful `init` also *remembers*
//! the builder, so `source_of`, `is_set`, `snapshot`, `check`, `explain`,
//! `prepare` and the remote reload on the type answer for the running
//! configuration. The rest — remote stores, aliases, bindings, flags,
//! `bind_clap` — is in [the book's
//! reference](https://ctolon.github.io/dynamic-config/attribute-reference.html).
//!
//! # Precedence
//!
//! ```text
//! set_default < discovered < config.toml < secrets.json < remote < secrets_dir < APP_DB_* < bind_env < set_flag < set_override
//!  (runtime)   (search path)   (first)      (last file)   (etcd…)   (a mount)   (environment) (by name)  (CLI)     (runtime)
//! ```
//!
//! Files merge left to right and tables merge key by key, so a small
//! `secrets.json` can override two fields of a large `config.toml` without
//! restating it.
//!
//! The two runtime layers bracket the rest. Defaults cover a fallback the
//! program can compute but a file need not state; overrides are what make a
//! test or a `--set key=value` flag authoritative without touching disk. Both
//! take effect on the next `load()`.
//!
//! # Reading configuration is lock-free
//!
//! `current()` hands out an `Arc` cloned from an `ArcSwap`, so a reload never
//! blocks a request handler. A reader that already holds an `Arc` keeps its own
//! generation — call `current()` once per request and reuse it, or a reload
//! landing mid-request will show you two different configurations.
//!
//! # Reloading cannot take the process down
//!
//! A reload re-runs `load()`. If the new configuration is invalid, or a file is
//! caught half-written, the error is reported and the previous snapshot stays
//! in place. A bad edit degrades to "no change".
//!
//! # Environment variables
//!
//! `env = "APP_"` with `key = "db"` reads `APP_DB_*`. A single underscore is
//! part of a field name; a doubled one introduces nesting:
//!
//! | Variable | Sets |
//! |---|---|
//! | `APP_DB_HOST` | `host` |
//! | `APP_DB_MAX_SIZE` | `max_size` |
//! | `APP_DB_POOL__MAX_SIZE` | `pool.max_size` |
//!
//! Values are interpreted by figment, which reads them loosely: `8080` reaches
//! a `u16`, `true` reaches a `bool`, and `[a, b, c]` reaches a `Vec<String>`.
//! A value that cannot become the field's type is an error naming the field.
//!
//! # Units
//!
//! `timeout = 30` is ambiguous and `max_body = 67108864` is unreadable, so both
//! are usually written with a unit — which no stock `Deserialize` accepts:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::time::Duration;
//! use serde::Deserialize;
//!
//! #[derive(Deserialize)]
//! struct Limits {
//!     #[serde(with = "dynamic_config::duration")]
//!     timeout: Duration,          // "30s", "1h30m", "500ms", or a number of seconds
//!     #[serde(with = "dynamic_config::bytes")]
//!     max_body: u64,              // "64MiB", "1GB", or a number of bytes
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Async
//!
//! With the `async` feature, configuration loads without blocking the
//! executor, and tasks can await reloads instead of polling. No runtime is
//! named anywhere: `changes()` is a `Future`, so any executor drives it.
//!
//! ```ignore
//! #[dynamic_config]
//! #[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
//! struct DbConfig { pool_size: u32 }
//!
//! let builder = DbConfig::builder("db").file("config.json");
//! builder.init_async().await?;
//! // Keep the handle: dropping it stops the watch.
//! let _watch = builder.watch(Duration::from_millis(250))?;
//!
//! let mut reloads = DbConfig::changes();
//!
//! spawn(async move {
//!     loop {
//!         let config = reloads.changed().await;
//!         pool.resize(config.pool_size);
//!     }
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! The watcher itself stays on a plain thread. `notify`'s channel is
//! synchronous, and keeping it off the runtime means file watching works
//! whether or not a runtime is running.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! | Feature | Default | Effect |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | `json` | yes | `.json` sources |
//! | `toml` | no | `.toml` sources |
//! | `yaml` | no | `.yaml` / `.yml` sources |
//! | `watch` | no | `start_watch()` and the file watcher |
//! | `async` | no | `load_async`, `init_async`, `changes` — no runtime dependency |
//! | `tokio` | no | `async`, plus tokio's blocking pool instead of a thread per load |
//! | `clap` | no | `bind_clap`: named `clap` arguments as the flags layer |
//! | `schema` | no | `schema()`: a JSON Schema for the resolved configuration |
//! | `decrypt` | no | the [`Decryptor`]/[`Encryptor`] traits and `.age`-suffix handling |
//! | `age` | no | `decrypt`, plus the `age` module's implementation of it |
//! | `figment` | no | foreign figment providers as sources, via `Source::provider` |
//! | `dotenv` | no | `env_files = [".env"]`: `.env` files as the environment layer |
//! | `tracing` | no | Watcher diagnostics, and a record per reload and per remote fetch, via `tracing` instead of stderr |
//! | `telemetry` | no | [`telemetry::Exposition`]: a `ConfigStatus` and a [`RemoteStatus`] as Prometheus text, with no dependency |
//! | `full` | no | all of the above |
//!
//! Using a format, `watch` or `async` whose feature is disabled is a compile
//! error naming the feature to add.
//!
//! # Without the macro
//!
//! [`load`], [`ConfigCell`] and [`LoadSpec`] are the whole engine and are
//! usable on their own:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "json")] {
//! use dynamic_config::{load, Format, LoadSpec, Source};
//! use serde::Deserialize;
//!
//! #[derive(Deserialize)]
//! struct Db { host: String }
//!
//! let sources = [Source::inline(r#"{"db": {"host": "localhost"}}"#, Format::Json)];
//! let db: Db = load(&LoadSpec::new("db", &sources))
//!     .expect("the inline document is well formed");
//!
//! assert_eq!(db.host, "localhost");
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Without a struct
//!
//! A plugin host, a feature-flag table or a tool inspecting somebody else's
//! configuration cannot write the struct, so [`Value`] is one:
//! [`Builder::values`] loads a section as data, and `Dynamic<Value>` installs
//! it like any other configuration — same layers, same watcher, same
//! last-known-good cache, same reload hooks.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # #[cfg(feature = "json")] {
//! use dynamic_config::{Builder, Dynamic, Value};
//!
//! let config = Dynamic::new(Builder::values("db").file("config.json"));
//! let values = config.init_and_current()?;
//!
//! assert_eq!(values.get("pool.max_size").and_then(Value::as_i64), Some(32));
//! # }
//! # Ok::<(), dynamic_config::Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! It costs what it looks like it costs: `current()` is still one atomic
//! load, and the path is then a walk of the tree — a couple of times a field
//! access, rather than the same thing. No feature flag, no extra dependency,
//! and no schema either: types are checked at the read instead of at the
//! load, `check()` reports that unknown keys were **not** checked, and
//! secrets have to be named with [`Builder::secrets`] because there is no
//! `#[config(secret)]` to derive them from. The book's *Schemaless
//! Configuration* chapter has the measured numbers and the whole list.
//!
//! ```text
//! current().port, on a struct   20 ns   0 allocations
//! values.get("port")            27 ns   0 allocations
//! values.get("pool.max_size")   32 ns   0 allocations
//! values.get_as::<u16>(path)    37 ns   0 allocations
//! ```
