Crate flower_core 

flower-core — the frontend-neutral structural editing model for config files.

Given a config document’s bytes and format, it exposes a navigable tree of Rows (a projection of fig’s Value) plus structural navigation and path-addressed edits routed through fig’s lossless editor. It knows nothing about terminals, GUIs, or the filesystem — a frontend (flower-ratatui, a future flower-gpui, …) renders Model::rows and drives the model’s methods; the embedder owns file I/O.

Modules

backend

The commit sink: what Model edits through.

format

Map a file path’s extension onto a fig::Format.

model

The frontend-neutral editor model and its structural operations.

schema

flower-core’s own constraint vocabulary, plugged into fig-schema’s generic rule engine.

tree

The navigable view of a config document: a flat list of Rows derived from fig’s Value tree.

Structs

PathPat

A path pattern. Unlike a concrete Seg path it can reach every element of a sequence (SegPat::EachItem), every entry of a mapping (SegPat::AnyKey), or a whole subtree (SegPat::AnyDepth), so a rule can constrain each item of a list field (tags:, audience:) or everything beneath a key.

Presentation

Presentation hints for one field rule.

Term

One term of a controlled vocabulary.

Enums

Cardinality

Whether a reference or list-shaped field holds one entry or many. Pure data shape — reused by an embedder’s own reference/relation constraint (prov’s spanning/cardinality concepts, for instance) without this crate needing to know what a “relation” is.

FieldType

The type a field expects. Drives type-directed parsing and widget choice.

Icon

A semantic icon hint. Frontends map to their own symbol set.

Seg

One step of a fig path: a mapping key or a sequence index. Owned (unlike fig::Segment<'a>, which borrows), so a path can outlive a single FFI call.

SegPat

One step of a PathPat.

Tint

A semantic tint hint. Frontends map to theme-adaptive colours.

Validation

The result of validating a value against a field’s constraint at commit time.
