Trait ProviderConfig 

pub trait ProviderConfig {
    // Required method
    fn api_key(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, str>>;

    // Provided methods
    fn base_url(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, str>> { ... }
    fn model(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, str>> { ... }
    fn prompt_cache(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, PromptCachingConfig>> { ... }

    fn openai(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, OpenAIConfig>> { ... }
    fn anthropic(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, AnthropicConfig>> { ... }
    fn model_behavior(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, ModelConfig>> { ... }
}

Trait describing the configuration required to instantiate an LLM provider.

The trait intentionally returns owned-friendly values so that consumers can back the configuration with environment variables, secret managers, or custom structs. The as_factory_config helper converts a trait object into the concrete configuration type expected by vtcode_core’s provider factory.

Required Methods

fn api_key(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, str>>

API key or bearer token used to authenticate with the provider.

Provided Methods

fn base_url(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, str>>

Optional override for the provider’s base URL.

fn model(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, str>>

Preferred model identifier for the provider.

fn prompt_cache(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, PromptCachingConfig>>

Optional prompt cache configuration forwarded to providers that support caching.

fn timeouts(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, TimeoutsConfig>>

Optional request timeout configuration forwarded to the provider factory.

fn openai(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, OpenAIConfig>>

Optional OpenAI-specific configuration forwarded to the provider factory.

fn anthropic(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, AnthropicConfig>>

Optional Anthropic-specific configuration forwarded to the provider factory.

fn model_behavior(&self) -> Option<Cow<'_, ModelConfig>>

Optional model behavior configuration (loop detection, capability overrides).

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
