Commons

A collection of reusable utilities for Rust projects.

Features

This library provides a set of modules to simplify common tasks in Rust applications.

Traits

• collections: Extends collections with contains, contains_predicate, and first methods.
• result: Adds a to_result method to bool for easy conversion to a Result.

Types

• errors: Defines a common CommonsError enum for handling I/O and environment variable errors.

Utils

• datetime_util: Functions for working with dates and times, including getting the current date, timestamp, and formatting SystemTime.
• file_util: Utilities for reading, writing, deleting, and copying files and directories.
• hash_util: Functions for generating SHA256 hashes for strings and files, and for creating unique IDs.
• path_util: Utilities for expanding the home directory (~) in paths and getting the home directory path.
• shell_util: Functions for executing shell commands.
• string_util: A utility for finding the minimum unique prefix of a string within a list of strings.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
commons = "0.2.6"

Then, you can use the utilities in your code:

use commons::utils::file_util;

fn main() {
    let content = file_util::read_file("path/to/your/file.txt").unwrap();
    println!("{}", content);
}
