Crate fabricatio_constants 

Fabricatio Constants

A foundational constants crate for the Fabricatio ecosystem, providing application-wide constants, paths, and configuration variables.

This crate centralizes all constants used across the Fabricatio project, including application names, configuration file paths, directory locations, and environment variable names. It ensures consistency and provides a single source of truth for these values.

Features

• Application Constants: Centralized definitions for application name, repository details, and core package names
• Path Management: Automatic determination of user configuration directories across different operating systems
• Template Support: Constants for template directory management and global configuration files
• Environment Variables: Standardized names for configuration and logging variables

Platform Support

The crate automatically detects the user’s operating system and provides appropriate paths:

Platform	Config Directory	Example
Linux	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config	/home/alice/.config/fabricatio
macOS	$HOME/Library/Application Support	/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support/fabricatio
Windows	{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}	C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\fabricatio

Usage

use fabricatio_constants::{NAME, ROAMING, GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE};

fn main() {
    println!("Application: {}", NAME);
    println!("Config directory: {:?}", ROAMING);
    println!("Config file: {:?}", GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE);
}

For more information, see the README.

Constants

Statics

GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE
