Struct figment::value::magic::RelativePathBuf

pub struct RelativePathBuf { /* private fields */ }

A PathBuf that knows the path of the file it was configured in, if any.

Paths in configuration files are often desired to be relative to the configuration file itself. For example, a path of a/b.html configured in a file /var/config.toml might be desired to resolve as /var/a/b.html. This type makes this possible by simply delcaring the configuration value’s type as RelativePathBuf.

Example

use std::path::Path;

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use figment::{Figment, value::magic::RelativePathBuf, Jail};
use figment::providers::{Env, Format, Toml, Serialized};

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Config {
    path: RelativePathBuf,
}

Jail::expect_with(|jail| {
    // Note that `jail.directory()` is some non-empty path:
    assert_ne!(jail.directory(), Path::new("/"));

    // When a path is declared in a file and deserialized as
    // `RelativePathBuf`, `relative()` will be relative to the file.
    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"path = "a/b/c.html""#)?;
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml")).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.original(), Path::new("a/b/c.html"));
    assert_eq!(c.path.relative(), jail.directory().join("a/b/c.html"));
    assert_ne!(c.path.relative(), Path::new("a/b/c.html"));

    // Round-tripping a `RelativePathBuf` preserves path-relativity.
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Serialized::defaults(&c)).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.original(), Path::new("a/b/c.html"));
    assert_eq!(c.path.relative(), jail.directory().join("a/b/c.html"));
    assert_ne!(c.path.relative(), Path::new("a/b/c.html"));

    // If a path is declared elsewhere, the "relative" path is the original.
    jail.set_env("PATH", "a/b/c.html");
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml"))
        .merge(Env::raw().only(&["PATH"]))
        .extract()?;

    assert_eq!(c.path.original(), Path::new("a/b/c.html"));
    assert_eq!(c.path.relative(), Path::new("a/b/c.html"));

    // Absolute paths remain unchanged.
    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"path = "/var/c.html""#);
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml")).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.original(), Path::new("/var/c.html"));
    assert_eq!(c.path.relative(), Path::new("/var/c.html"));

    // You can use the `From<P: AsRef<Path>>` impl to set defaults:
    let figment = Figment::from(Serialized::defaults(Config {
        path: "some/default/path".into()
    }));

    let default: Config = figment.extract()?;
    assert_eq!(default.path.original(), Path::new("some/default/path"));
    assert_eq!(default.path.relative(), Path::new("some/default/path"));

    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"path = "an/override""#)?;
    let overriden: Config = figment.merge(Toml::file("Config.toml")).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(overriden.path.original(), Path::new("an/override"));
    assert_eq!(overriden.path.relative(), jail.directory().join("an/override"));

    Ok(())
});

Serialization

By default, a RelativePathBuf serializes into a structure that can only deserialize as a RelativePathBuf. In particular, a RelativePathBuf does not serialize into a value compatible with PathBuf. To serialize into a Path, use RelativePathBuf::serialize_original() or RelativePathBuf::serialize_relative() together with serde’s serialize_with field attribute:

use std::path::PathBuf;

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use figment::{Figment, value::magic::RelativePathBuf, Jail};
use figment::providers::{Format, Toml, Serialized};

#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Config {
    relative: RelativePathBuf,
    #[serde(serialize_with = "RelativePathBuf::serialize_original")]
    root: RelativePathBuf,
    #[serde(serialize_with = "RelativePathBuf::serialize_relative")]
    temp: RelativePathBuf,
}

Jail::expect_with(|jail| {
    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"
        relative = "relative/path"
        root = "root/path"
        temp = "temp/path"
    "#)?;

    // Create a figment with a serialize `Config`.
    let figment = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml"));
    let config = figment.extract::<Config>()?;
    let figment = Figment::from(Serialized::defaults(config));

    // This fails, as expected.
    let relative = figment.extract_inner::<PathBuf>("relative");
    assert!(relative.is_err());

    // These succeed. This one uses the originally written path.
    let root = figment.extract_inner::<PathBuf>("root")?;
    assert_eq!(root, PathBuf::from("root/path"));

    // This one the magic relative path.
    let temp = figment.extract_inner::<PathBuf>("temp")?;
    assert_eq!(temp, jail.directory().join("temp/path"));

    Ok(())
})

Implementations

impl RelativePathBuf

pub fn original(&self) -> &Path

Returns the path as it was declared, without modification.

Example

use std::path::Path;

use figment::{Figment, value::magic::RelativePathBuf, Jail};
use figment::providers::{Format, Toml};

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    path: RelativePathBuf,
}

Jail::expect_with(|jail| {
    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"path = "hello.html""#)?;
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml")).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.original(), Path::new("hello.html"));

    Ok(())
});

pub fn relative(&self) -> PathBuf

Returns this path resolved relative to the file it was declared in, if any.

If the configured path was relative and it was configured from a file, this function returns that path prefixed with that file’s parent directory. Otherwise it returns the original path. Where config_file_path is the location of the configuration file, this corresponds to:

let relative = config_file_path
    .parent()
    .unwrap()
    .join(relative_path_buf.original());

Example

use std::path::Path;

use figment::{Figment, value::magic::RelativePathBuf, Jail};
use figment::providers::{Env, Format, Toml};

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    path: RelativePathBuf,
}

Jail::expect_with(|jail| {
    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"path = "hello.html""#)?;
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml")).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.relative(), jail.directory().join("hello.html"));

    jail.set_env("PATH", r#"hello.html"#);
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Env::raw().only(&["PATH"])).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.relative(), Path::new("hello.html"));

    Ok(())
});

pub fn metadata_path(&self) -> Option<&Path>

Returns the path to the file this path was declared in, if any.

Example

use std::path::Path;

use figment::{Figment, value::magic::RelativePathBuf, Jail};
use figment::providers::{Env, Format, Toml};

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, serde::Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    path: RelativePathBuf,
}

Jail::expect_with(|jail| {
    jail.create_file("Config.toml", r#"path = "hello.html""#)?;
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Toml::file("Config.toml")).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.metadata_path().unwrap(), jail.directory().join("Config.toml"));

    jail.set_env("PATH", r#"hello.html"#);
    let c: Config = Figment::from(Env::raw().only(&["PATH"])).extract()?;
    assert_eq!(c.path.metadata_path(), None);

    Ok(())
});

pub fn serialize_original<S>(&self, ser: S) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error>where S: Serializer,

Serialize self as the original path.

See serialization for more.

Example

use std::path::PathBuf;
use figment::value::magic::RelativePathBuf;
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Config {
    #[serde(serialize_with = "RelativePathBuf::serialize_original")]
    path: RelativePathBuf,
}

pub fn serialize_relative<S>(&self, ser: S) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error>where S: Serializer,

Serialize self as the relative path.

See serialization for more.

Example

use std::path::PathBuf;
use figment::value::magic::RelativePathBuf;
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Config {
    #[serde(serialize_with = "RelativePathBuf::serialize_relative")]
    path: RelativePathBuf,
}
