toml-rs VS Scoop

I updated the toml<->json online converter after the ValueAfterTable error has been fixed with toml 0.6. Very nice to see progress on the toml and toml_edit crates.

use std::fs::File; use std::io::Write; use std::collections::BTreeMap as Map; use serde_derive::{Serialize, Deserialize}; #[derive(Debug)] #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] #[serde(tag = "type0")] enum FooBarTwo<'a> { FooBarOne { string1: &'a str }, } #[derive(Debug)] #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] #[serde(tag = "type1")] enum FooBarThree<'a> { FooBarFour { string2: &'a str }, } #[derive(Debug)] #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] struct FooBarFour<'a> { black: &'a str, #[serde(borrow)] green: FooBarTwo<'a>, #[serde(borrow)] blue: FooBarThree<'a>, } #[derive(Debug)] #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] struct FooBarFourList<'a> { // Uasing a Map to workaround a known bug (#303) when using top level Vec // see https://github.com/alexcrichton/toml-rs/issues/303 #[serde(borrow)] foo_bar_six: Map<&'a str, FooBarFour<'a>> } fn main() { let red = FooBarFour { black: "aaa", green: FooBarTwo::FooBarOne { string1: "aaaabbbb" }, blue: FooBarThree::FooBarFour { string2: "ccccccc" }, }; let pink = FooBarFour { black: "aaa", green: FooBarTwo::FooBarOne { string1: "aaaabbbb" }, blue: FooBarThree::FooBarFour { string2: "ccccccc" }, }; let mut white = Map::new(); white.insert("pink", pink); white.insert("red", red); let fbfl = FooBarFourList { foo_bar_six: white }; println!("\nTL: {:?}\n", fbfl); let filename = "./data/test.toml"; let data = toml::to_string(&fbfl).expect("Error serialising fbfl"); println!("\nTL as TOML: {:?}\n", data); let mut f = File::create(filename).expect("Unable to create file"); f.write_all(data.as_bytes()).expect("Error writing data to file"); let toml_in: FooBarFour = toml::from_str(&data).expect("Error deserialising fbfl"); println!("\n{:?}\n", toml_in); }

This is especially useful for data deserialization: Just by implementing the Serialize and Deserialize traits from the serde crate, the (almost) universally used serialization library in the Rust world, we can then serialize and deserialize our types to a lot of data formats: JSON, YAML, TOML, BSON and so on...

It looks like the fields are public now (https://github.com/alexcrichton/toml-rs/pull/455, https://docs.rs/toml/latest/toml/value/struct.Date.html), so just upgrading the crate should do it :-)

Pair that with Serde for serialization/deserialization (JSON, TOML, YAML, CSV/TSV, XML, URL query strings, etc.), Figment for configuration, and ignore for filesystem traversal with blacklist support, and Rust is a real joy for writing CLI utilities.

Added toml-rs-compatible API via the toml_edit::easy module for when developers want to ensure consistency between format-preserving and general TOML work, with one caveat.

A quick example off the top of the head of my head is some tests in the toml package. It has a few different approaches. One is to use macros as in parser.rs. In valid.rs and invalid.rs it uses macros to generate a separate test for each input file. This allows you to run just one individual test from the list. These examples aren't perfect, and there are more sophisticated test utilities (like insta) that can abstract the process of "here are a bunch of inputs, test them all".

I want to read a toml file with default value. I tried toml-rs but it doesn't allow for default values.

Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows, aimed at making it easier for users to manage software installations and maintain a clean system. It's designed with developers and power users in mind but can be beneficial for any Windows user looking for an efficient way to manage software. Basically it makes our life easier when it comes to software installation of any sort. Scoop support installation for large number of software. Check it out here Scoop.

Use a package manager! Assuming Windows (since it's the odd one out), get yourself some scoop then just scoop install openjdk. No need to navigate to a website, download bundleware, click next-next-next and accidentally install a virus like some caveman from 1997. This has been a solved problem since ancient times!

Should be easy enough, I installed neovim on my windows machine with scoop (you can even get nightly if you want), it's basically a one line install. You can also do a manual install if you want, but you don't have to. It took a little fiddling for me because I wanted to install scoop as well as all applications onto my D drive rather than my C drive, but nothing too crazy. I never got NvChad on my windows machine, but I do have it on linux, and siduck (the creator of nvchad) has given good instructions for installing even on windows, so i don't think it should be a problem. Also, there's a discord for nvchad, and siduck is pretty active on there if you want to ask questions. Good luck!

I update it with Brew on macOS and Scoop [1] on Windows (but I guess it is included in other package managers such as chocolatey).

Of course, a built-in auto-updater would be good, but a packaged version is a nice workaround for me.

So I tried installing scoop the "normal" way for both users then ran scoop install {app} --global as per https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/wiki/Global-Installs and got:Cannot find path 'C:\ProgramData\scoop\buckets' because it does not exist

There are a number of ways that you can install the Snyk CLI on your machine, ranging from using the available stand-alone executables to using package managers such as Homebrew for macOS and Scoop for Windows.

Scoop provides a wonderful foundation for creating a portable developer's toolkit on Windows systems.
