Struct temp_file::TempFile

pub struct TempFile { /* private fields */ }

The path of an existing writable file in a system temporary directory.

Deletes the file on drop. Ignores errors deleting the file.

Example

use temp_file::TempFile;
let t = TempFile::new()
  .unwrap()
  .with_contents(b"abc")
  .unwrap();
// Prints "/tmp/1a9b0".
println!("{:?}", t.path());
assert_eq!(
  "abc",
  std::fs::read_to_string(t.path()).unwrap(),
);
// Prints "/tmp/1a9b1".
println!("{:?}", TempFile::new().unwrap().path());

Implementations

impl TempFile

pub fn new() -> Result<Self, Error>

Create a new empty file in a system temporary directory.

Drop the returned struct to delete the file.

Errors

Returns Err when it fails to create the file.

Example

// Prints "/tmp/1a9b0".
println!("{:?}", temp_file::TempFile::new().unwrap().path());

pub fn in_dir(dir: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Self, Error>

Create a new empty file in dir.

Drop the returned struct to delete the file.

Errors

Returns Err when it fails to create the file.

Example

// Prints "/tmp/temp_uploads/1a9b0".
let dir = std::env::temp_dir().join("temp_uploads");
println!("{:?}", temp_file::TempFile::in_dir(&dir).unwrap().path());

pub fn with_prefix(prefix: impl AsRef<str>) -> Result<Self, Error>

Create a new empty file in a system temporary directory. Use prefix as the first part of the file’s name.

Drop the returned struct to delete the file.

Errors

Returns Err when it fails to create the file.

Example

// Prints "/tmp/ok1a9b0".
println!("{:?}", temp_file::TempFile::with_prefix("ok").unwrap().path());

pub fn with_suffix(suffix: impl AsRef<str>) -> Result<Self, Error>

Create a new empty file in a system temporary directory. Use suffix as the last part of the file’s name.

You can use this to give the filename a particular extension.

Drop the returned struct to delete the file.

Errors

Returns Err when it fails to create the file.

Example

// Prints "/tmp/1a9b0.txt".
println!("{:?}", temp_file::TempFile::with_suffix(".txt").unwrap().path());

pub fn with_contents(self, contents: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>

Write contents to the file.

Errors

Returns Err when it fails to write all of contents to the file.

pub fn cleanup(self) -> Result<(), Error>

Remove the file now. Do nothing later on drop.

Errors

Returns an error if the file exists and we fail to remove it.

pub fn panic_on_cleanup_error(self) -> Self

Make the struct panic on drop if it hits an error while removing the file.

pub fn leak(self)

Do not delete the file.

This is useful when debugging a test.

pub fn path(&self) -> &Path

The path to the file.
