Struct FileLoader

pub struct FileLoader { /* private fields */ }

Utility class to abstract away the differences between loading from file and network.

With a nod to offline developer experience, files which come from the network are cached on disk.

The cache directory should be in a directory that will get purged on a clean build.

This allows us to import files from another repository (via https) or include files from a local files.

The loader is able to resolve a shortcut syntax similar to other package managers.

By default a prefix of @XXXX/YYYY: resolves to the main branch XXXX/YYYY Github repo.

The config is a map of repository names to paths, URLs or branches.

Config files can be loaded

Implementations

impl FileLoader

pub fn new( cwd: PathBuf, cache_dir: Option<PathBuf>, repo_refs: BTreeMap<String, FilePath>, ) -> Result<Self>

pub fn add_repo_file(&mut self, file: &FilePath) -> Result<()>

Load a file containing mapping of repo names to FilePaths. Repo files can be JSON or YAML in format. Files are simple key value pair mappings of repo_id to repository locations, where:

• a repo id is of the format used on Github: $ORGANIZATION/$PROJECT, and
• location can be
  • a path to a directory on disk, or
  • a ref/branch/tag/commit hash in the repo stored on Github.

Relative paths to on disk directories will be taken as relative to this file.

pub fn add_repo(&mut self, repo_id: &str, loc: &str) -> Result<()>

Add a repo and version/tag/ref/location. repo_id is the github $ORGANIZATION/$PROJECT string, e.g. mozilla/application-services. The loc string can be a:

1. A branch, commit hash or release tag on a remote repository, hosted on Github
2. A URL
3. A relative path (to the current working directory) to a directory on the local disk.
4. An absolute path to a directory on the local disk.

pub fn read_to_string(&self, file: &FilePath) -> Result<String>

This loads a text file from disk or the network.

If it’s coming from the network, then cache the file to disk (based on the URL).

We don’t worry about cache invalidation, because a clean build should blow the cache away.

pub fn read<T: DeserializeOwned>(&self, file: &FilePath) -> Result<T>

pub fn join(&self, base: &FilePath, f: &str) -> Result<FilePath>

Joins a path to a string, to make a new path.

We want to be able to support local and remote files. We also want to be able to support a configurable short cut format. Following a pattern common in other package managers, @XXXX/YYYY is used as short hand for the main branch in github repos.

If f is a relative path, the result is relative to base.

pub fn file_path(&self, f: &str) -> Result<FilePath>

Make a new path.

We want to be able to support local and remote files. We also want to be able to support a configurable short cut format. Following a pattern common in other package managers, @XXXX/YYYY is used as short hand for the main branch in github repos.

If f is a relative path, the result is relative to self.cwd.
