pquote

Programmer Quotes Library & Binary

List of 323 Quotes from various programmer's

Why

I really liked Vim Startify's programmer quotes every time I used vim. I originally made this to get the same quotes for Dashboard Nvim but I ended up using it for MOTD on remote servers and some other random projects(I love programmer quotes) so I thought I might as well make it a library to make it easier to use.

Why is the binary in the examples directory

The binary is an example because it means all of it's dependencies can be kept seperate from the dependencies of the library, (as far as I can tell there is no way to do this with the lib & main inside src/ or with workspaces) so that if you use this library you're not pulling in 19 other crates you don't need.

How to use

Library

# Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
pquote = { git = "https://github.com/Th3Whit3Wolf/pquote" }

// main.rs or lib.rs

use pquote::QUOTES;

Example

Want to generate a random quote?

use rand::Rng;
use pquote::QUOTES;

fn main() {
    // Get Random Quote
    let x = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(0, QUOTES.len());
    // Print quote and author
    println!("Quote: {}", q.quote);
    println!("\t- {}", q.author);
}

Vim Startify with it's awesome quotes inspired to make this and I borrowed it's content.
