COUTILS

A set of useful functions for Rust.

ABOUT

I found myself re-writing the same functions a million times in different Rust projects. Because this is not efficient and is quite time-consuming, I thought I'd unify these common functions into a library. This is that library. Coutils is short for Common Utilities. Enjoy.

INSTALLATION

To use Coutils in your Rust project, add this line to your project's Cargo.toml's [dependencies] section:

coutils = "2.0.0"

Optionally, you can decide which features you would like to enable. Coutils offers the following features:

• filesystem: A feature to work with files and directories.
• networking: A feature to clone Git repositories.
• time: A feature to get current time information.

To enable one or all of the available features, add this line to your Rust project's Cargo.toml:

coutils = { version = "2.0.0", features = [ "feature_name" ] }

I added features because some implementations of Lib C do not play nice with anything to do with networking, like MUSL. Additionally, using Coutils in WASM projects is easier if certain features are enabled or disabled.
