Rust template repository.

An opinionated starting point for rust projects such as

• systemd services
• command line tools
• client programs
• server programs
• libraries and daemons

Logging

The program will log in 2 places by default:

• stdout
• syslog

There is a simple -v --verbose flag that can be toggled on/off to increase and decrease the level of the logs.

Enabling verbose mode will simply add Trace and Debug levels to the default configuration.

Default Runtime	+Verbose
Info, Warn, Error	+Trace, +Debug

Flags

We prefer flags over environmental variables for runtime configuration.

Flags can be added to the main.rs file following the official clap examples

Clion

I use clion to develop rust. I use a few features:

Auto Imports

This will automatically "fix" my use statements in the 2021 edition of Rust.

Editor > General > Auto Import > Rust
 [X] Import out-of-scope items on completion.

Auto Formatting

This will automatically rustfmt my code when I save.

Languages and Frameworks > Rust > Rustfmt
 [X] Run rustfmt on save
