Struct FileSource 

pub struct FileSource { /* private fields */ }

A Source which provides values by reading them from the file-system.

For string and byte types, the source will simply attempt to open the file and load its contents.

If, during de-serialization, the target type is known, the source will attempt to load the file as a string parse the value into the target type using std::str::FromStr.

When de-serializing self-describing formats, like JSON or YAML into dynamic containers, like for example:

#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
#[serde(untagged)]
enum StringOrInt {
    String(String),
    Int(u64),
}

The target type is inferred from the loaded file contents. The source parses the file contents in following order:

• true, false -> bool
• 123, 42 -> u64
• -123, -42 -> i64
• -123.0, 42.12 -> f64
• any valid UTF-8 string -> String
• -> Vec<u8>

Warning:

This source must not be used with untrusted user input, it provides unfiltered access to the filesystem.

Implementations

impl FileSource

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a FileSource.

By default the created source uses ${ and } as variable specifiers. These can be changed using Self::with_variable_prefix and Self::with_variable_suffix.

Examples:

use serde_vars::FileSource;

let mut source = FileSource::new();

let mut de = serde_json::Deserializer::from_str(r#""${my_file.txt}""#);
let r: String = serde_vars::deserialize(&mut de, &mut source).unwrap();
assert_eq!(r, "some secret value");

pub fn with_base_path<P>(self, path: P) -> Self

where P: Into<PathBuf>,

Configures the base path to use for relative paths.

The configured path is joined with relative paths. To be independent of the current working directory it is recommended to configure an absolute path.

Note: There is no validation that a final path must be within that base directory.

pub fn with_variable_prefix(self, prefix: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Changes the variable prefix.

Examples:

use serde_vars::FileSource;

let mut source = FileSource::new().with_variable_prefix("${file:");

let mut de = serde_json::Deserializer::from_str(r#""${file:my_file.txt}""#);
let r: String = serde_vars::deserialize(&mut de, &mut source).unwrap();
assert_eq!(r, "some secret value");

pub fn with_variable_suffix(self, suffix: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Changes the variable suffix.
