# File I/O 1-liners for old Rust

This crate is obsolete since Rust 1.26. If you have a file-related Rust project and would like to use this crate name, let me know!

## `Vec<u8>`

`file::get()` and `file::put()` — read and write `Vec<u8>` with one function call on Rust before 1.26.

Use `std::fs::read("path")?` and `std::fs::write("path", data)?` in Rust 1.26 or later.

```rust
extern crate file;

fn example() -> file::Result<()> {
    let data = file::get("some_input_file.dat")?;
    file::put("a.out", &data)?;
    Ok(())
}
```

`file::Result` is an alias for `std::io::Result`. You can use `Result<(), Box<std::error::Error>>` in places where you don't want to expose the error type.

## `String`

`file::get_text()` and `file::put_text()` — read and write `String` with one function call.

Use `std::fs::read_to_string("path")?` and and `std::fs::write("path", string)?` in Rust 1.26 or later.

```rust
extern crate file;

fn example() -> file::Result<()> {
    let string = file::get_text("hello.txt")?;
    file::put_text("bye.txt", &string)?;
    Ok(())
}
```
