mod.rs

1//! Typed server configuration.
2//!
3//! [`ServerConfig`] holds all per-instance configuration fields as typed Rust
4//! values. It replaces point-of-use `env::var("RWS_CONFIG_*")` calls with a
5//! struct that can be:
6//!
7//! - Built from environment variables once at startup: [`ServerConfig::from_env()`]
8//! - Constructed directly in tests without touching the environment:
9//!   [`ServerConfig::default()`] / struct update syntax
10//! - Passed to [`App::with_config`] to create a fully isolated application
11//!   instance — essential for parallel tests and embedded multi-tenant use
12//!
13//! # Test isolation example
14//!
15//! ```rust,ignore
16//! use rust_web_server::app::App;
17//! use rust_web_server::server_config::ServerConfig;
18//! use rust_web_server::test_client::TestClient;
19//!
20//! // No env writes, no lock needed.
21//! let app = App::with_config(ServerConfig {
22//!     cors_allow_all: false,
23//!     cors_allow_origins: "https://example.com".to_string(),
24//!     ..ServerConfig::default()
25//! });
26//! let client = TestClient::new(app);
27//! let res = client.get("/").send();
28//! ```
