Utility Functions and Helpers

This module provides various utility functions and helpers used throughout VTCode, including configuration management, safety utilities, and common operations.

Modules Overview

Configuration Management (dot_config)

• User Preferences: Theme settings, UI preferences, cache configuration
• Provider Configuration: LLM provider settings and API keys
• Dotfile Management: .vtcode directory and configuration files

Safety Utilities (safety)

• Path Validation: Workspace boundary checking
• Command Sanitization: Safe command execution
• Input Validation: User input sanitization

ANSI and Colors (ansi, colors)

• Terminal Colors: ANSI color codes and styling
• Color Management: Theme support and color schemes
• Cross-platform: Works on different terminal types

Git Integration (vtcodegitignore)

• Gitignore Management: Automatic .vtcodegitignore creation
• Pattern Matching: File exclusion patterns
• Workspace Safety: Prevents accidental file operations

Basic Usage Examples

Configuration Management

use vtcode_core::utils::dot_config::{load_user_config, save_user_config, UserPreferences};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Load user configuration
    let config = load_user_config().await?;

    // Modify preferences
    let mut prefs = config.preferences;
    prefs.theme = "dark".to_string();

    // Save changes
    save_user_config(&prefs).await?;

    Ok(())
}

Path Safety

use vtcode_core::utils::safety::validate_workspace_path;
use std::path::PathBuf;

let workspace = PathBuf::from("/home/user/project");
let file_path = PathBuf::from("src/main.rs");

// Validate path is within workspace
match validate_workspace_path(&workspace, &file_path) {
    Ok(valid_path) => println!("Safe path: {}", valid_path.display()),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Unsafe path: {}", e),
}

ANSI Colors

use vtcode_core::utils::ansi::{colorize, Color};

let message = "Hello, World!";
let colored = colorize(message, Color::Green);
println!("{}", colored); // Prints green text

// Or use styling functions
let bold_text = vtcode_core::utils::ansi::bold("Important message");
let red_error = colorize("Error occurred", Color::Red);

Git Integration

use vtcode_core::utils::vtcodegitignore::initialize_vtcode_gitignore;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let workspace = std::env::current_dir()?;

    // Initialize .vtcodegitignore
    initialize_vtcode_gitignore(&workspace).await?;

    println!("Git integration initialized");
    Ok(())
}
