StructConf is a small derive macro that allows you to combine argument parsing from clap and config file parsing from rust-ini at compile time. It's inspired by the argument parser structopt.

StructConf aims to be relatively small and simple. Here are its current selling points:

• Options available in the config file, argument parser, both, or none.
• Configurable option names.
• Custom types supported.
• Optional fields with Option.
• Custom default expressions.
• Insightful error messages.
• Thoroughly tested.

Small example:

use structconf::{clap, StructConf};

#[derive(Debug, StructConf)]
struct ServerConfig {
    #[conf(help = "The public key")]
    pub public_key: String,
    #[conf(no_file, long = "your-secret", help = "Your secret API key")]
    pub secret_key: String,
    #[conf(default = "100", help = "timeout in seconds")]
    pub timeout: i32,
}

pub fn main() {
    let app = clap::App::new("demo");
    let conf = ServerConfig::parse(app, "config.ini");
    println!("Parsed config: {:#?}", conf);
}
