Struct Eric 

pub struct Eric;

A structure to manage the Eric instance from the shared C library.

Use Eric::new to initialize Eric. Closes Eric when dropped.

Implementations

impl Eric

pub fn new( log_path: Option<&Path>, plugin_path: Option<&Path>, ) -> Result<Self, EricError>

Initializes a single-threaded Eric instance.

If log_path is None, the system directory for temporary files is used. If plugin_path is None, the path to the shared C library is used.

pub fn validate( &self, xml: String, taxonomy_type: &str, taxonomy_version: &str, pdf_path: Option<&str>, ) -> Result<EricResponse, EricError>

Validates an XML file for a specific taxonomy.

Optionally, a confirmation is printed to pdf_path.

pub fn send( &self, xml: String, taxonomy_type: &str, taxonomy_version: &str, certificate_path: &Path, certificate_password: &str, pdf_path: Option<&str>, ) -> Result<EricResponse, EricError>

Sends an XML file for a specific taxonomy to the tax authorities.

The Elster certificate needs to be provided at path certificate_path with password certificate_password.

Optionally, a confirmation is printed to pdf_path.

pub fn check_xml( &self, xml: String, taxonomy_type: &str, taxonomy_version: &str, ) -> Result<EricResponse, EricError>

Validates an XML file against the schema of a specific taxonomy.

This is a schema-only check via ERiC’s EricCheckXML and does not execute the full validation/send pipeline of Eric::validate or Eric::send.

Note that ERiC may report unsupported data types/versions for this API function.

pub fn get_error_text(&self, error_code: i32) -> Result<String, EricError>

Returns the error text for a specific error code.

Trait Implementations

impl Drop for Eric

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.
