Command-Line Extensions for smart-config

Docs:

This library provides a couple of command-line extensions for the smart-config library:

• Printing help for configuration params with optional filtering.
• Debugging param values and deserialization errors.

Usage

Add this to your Crate.toml:

[dependencies]
smart-config-commands = "0.4.0-pre"

Printing help on config params

use std::io;
use smart_config::ConfigSchema;
use smart_config_commands::Printer;

let mut schema = ConfigSchema::default();
// Add configurations to the schema...

Printer::stdout().print_help(&schema, |param_ref| {
    // Allows filtering output params.
    param_ref.param.name.contains("test")
})?;
io::Result::Ok(())

Example output is as follows:

Debugging param values

use std::io;
use smart_config::{ConfigSchema, ConfigRepository};
use smart_config_commands::Printer;

let mut schema = ConfigSchema::default();
// Add configurations to the schema...
let mut repo = ConfigRepository::new(&schema);
// Add sources to the repo...

Printer::stdout().print_debug(&repo, |_| true)?;
io::Result::Ok(())

Example output is as follows:

The output will contain deserialization errors for all available params:

Outputting JSON / YAML

The library can fancy-print JSON and YAML. This be used together with smart-config tooling to produce default / example configs, diffs with default param values etc. See the example for a couple of use cases.
