Crate gelx_build 

gelx_build

By default the gelx macros can’t read the configuration from the Cargo.toml file. This crate provides a way to read the configuration from the Cargo.toml file using the build.rs script.

Overview

The gelx_build crate provides a way to read the configuration from the Cargo.toml file using the build.rs script.

This crate is only needed if you want to customise the configuration of the gelx macros.

Installation

[build-dependencies]
gelx_build = "0.8"

or via the command line:

cargo add --build gelx_build

Usage

// build.rs

use gelx_build::gelx_build_sync;

fn main() {
	let _ = gelx_build_sync();
}

The above code will read the configuration from the Cargo.toml file and create an environment variable called GELX_METADATA_BASE64 that contains the json configuration. The GELX_METADATA_BASE64 environment variable is then used by the gelx_macros crate to read the configuration and use it when generating code.

If you would like to use the async version, you can use the gelx_build function instead.

// build.rs

use gelx_build::gelx_build;
use gelx_build::tokio;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
	let _ = gelx_build().await;
}

set_metadata_env

Sets the GELX_METADATA_BASE64 environment variable to the base64 encoded GelxMetadata struct.
