persistent [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/iron/persistent.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/iron/persistent)
====

> Persistent storage as middleware for the [Iron](https://github.com/iron/iron) web framework.

- Share persistent data across requests
- Read or modify locally stored data

Use this if you are currently thinking about using `std::sync::Arc` to share
state between request handlers.

## Installation

If you're using a `Cargo.toml` to manage dependencies, just add persistent to the toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
persistent = "x.y.z"  # Insert current version here
```

Otherwise, `cargo build`, and the rlib will be in your `target` directory.

## [Documentation](http://ironframework.io/doc/persistent)

Along with the [online documentation](http://ironframework.io/doc/persistent),
you can build a local copy with `make doc`.
