# derive(FromFile)
Procedural macro to derive configuration from files, with optional merging capabilities.
## Features
- **Derive Configuration:** Easily load configuration from files into your Rust structs.
- **Default Values:** Specify default values for struct fields using the `#[from_file(default = "...")]` attribute.
- **Optional Merging:** When the `merge` feature is enabled, allows merging multiple configuration sources.
## Usage
```toml
[dependencies]
filecaster = "0.2"
```
```rust
use filecaster::FromFile;
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, FromFile)]
struct AppConfig {
/// If the user does not specify a host, use `"127.0.0.1"`.
#[from_file(default = "127.0.0.1")]
host: String,
/// Port number; defaults to `8080`.
#[from_file(default = 8080)]
port: u16,
/// If not set, use `false`. Requires `bool: Default`.
auto_reload: bool,
}
fn main() {
// Simulate file content (e.g., from a JSON file)
let file_content = r#"{ "host": "localhost", "port": 3000 }"#;
// The `AppConfigFile` struct is automatically generated by `#[derive(FromFile)]`.
// It has all fields as `Option<T>`.
let partial_config: AppConfigFile = serde_json::from_str(file_content).unwrap();
let partial_config2 = partial_config.clone();
// Use the generated `from_file` method to get the final config.
// Default values are applied for missing fields.
let config = AppConfig::from_file(Some(partial_config));
// or
let config: AppConfig = partial_config2.into();
assert_eq!(config.host, "localhost");
assert_eq!(config.port, 3000);
assert_eq!(config.auto_reload, false); // `bool::default()` is `false`
println!("Final Config: {:#?}", config);
// Example with no file content (all defaults)
let default_config = AppConfig::from_file(None);
assert_eq!(default_config.host, "127.0.0.1");
assert_eq!(default_config.port, 8080);
assert_eq!(default_config.auto_reload, false);
}
```
