baobao-manifest

TOML manifest parsing and validation for Bao CLI generator.

This crate handles parsing and validation of bao.toml configuration files that define CLI structure.

Features

• Manifest Parsing - Parse bao.toml files into structured types
• Command Definitions - Types for commands, arguments, and flags
• Context Configuration - Database and HTTP client configuration
• Validation - Error reporting with source context using miette

Usage

This crate is used internally by the baobao CLI tool. You typically don't need to use it directly.

use baobao_manifest::Manifest;

// Parse a bao.toml file
let manifest = Manifest::from_file("bao.toml")?;

// Access CLI configuration
println!("CLI name: {}", manifest.cli.name);
println!("Version: {}", manifest.cli.version);

// Iterate over commands
for (name, command) in &manifest.commands {
    println!("Command: {} - {}", name, command.description);
}

Manifest Structure

A bao.toml file defines:

• CLI metadata - Name, version, description
• Commands - With arguments, flags, and subcommands
• Context - Shared state like database pools and HTTP clients

[cli]
name = "myapp"
version = "0.1.0"

[commands.hello]
description = "Say hello"
args = ["name"]
flags = ["loud"]

[context.db]
type = "sqlite"
path = "app.db"
