confy

crates.io docs.rs Discord

Zero-boilerplate configuration management.

Focus on storing the right data, instead of worrying about how or where to store it.

use serde_derive::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Default, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct MyConfig {
    version: u8,
    api_key: String,
}

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let cfg: MyConfig = confy::load("my-app-name", None)?;
    dbg!(cfg);
    Ok(())
}

Confy's feature flags

confy can be used with either TOML, YAML, or RON files. TOML is the default language used with confy but any of the other languages can be used by enabling them with feature flags as shown below.

Note: you can only use one of these features at a time, so in order to use either of the optional features you have to disable default features.

Using YAML

To use YAML files with confy you have to make sure you have enabled the yaml_conf feature and disabled both toml_conf and ron_conf.

Enable the feature in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.confy]
features = ["yaml_conf"]
default-features = false

Using RON

For using RON files with confy you have to make sure you have enabled the ron_conf feature and disabled both toml_conf and yaml_conf.

Enable the feature in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.confy]
features = ["ron_conf"]
default-features = false
