jumprs

Unified Rust API for reading and writing directory jumper databases.

Supported Directory Jumpers

Installation

[dependencies]
jumprs = "0.1"

Quick Start

use jumprs::Database;

// Auto-detect the first available database
let db = Database::detect().expect("no jump database found");

// Search for directories matching a query
let results = db.search("proj");
for entry in results.iter().take(5) {
    println!("{}: {:.0}", entry.path.display(), entry.frecency());
}

// Get the best match
if let Some(best) = db.best_match("proj") {
    println!("Best match: {}", best.path.display());
}

Recording Visits

use jumprs::{Database, Backend};
use std::path::PathBuf;

// Load or create a database
let mut db = Database::with_backend(Backend::Z).unwrap();

// Record a directory visit (updates rank and timestamp)
db.add_visit(PathBuf::from("/home/user/projects"));

// Save changes to disk
db.save().expect("failed to save database");

Specifying a Backend

use jumprs::{Database, Backend};

// Use a specific backend
let db = Database::with_backend(Backend::Z).expect("z database not found");

// Get top directories by frecency
for entry in db.top_dirs(10) {
    println!("{}", entry.path.display());
}

// Check which backend was detected
println!("Using backend: {:?}", db.backend());

API Overview

Database Methods

Backend Detection Priority

When using Backend::Auto, jumprs checks for databases in this order:

1. zoxide
2. z
3. autojump
4. fasd

The first available database is used.
