tokio-env

A configuration library for convenient setup of the tokio runtime.

Configuration

All configuration is made vie environmental variables. The following variables are supported:

• TOKIO_ENABLE_ALL Whether to enable all types of thread pools. Defaults to true.
• TOKIO_BLOCKING_THREADS The amount of blocking threads to use.
• TOKIO_WORKER_THREADS The amount of worker threads to use.
• TOKIO_THREAD_STACK_SIZE The size of the stack for the created threads.
• TOKIO_THREAD_NAME The name for the created thread pool(s).

If the environment variable is not provided, it will fall back to the tokio defaults, except for the TOKIO_ENABLE_ALL which defaults to true.

So an empty configuration unfolds like this:

tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
    .enable_all()
    .map(|runtime| runtime.block_on(fun));

Usage

Usage of this library could look like this:

fn main() {
    println!("Initializing tokio runtime...");
    let exit_code = tokio_env::start_with(run)
        .expect("Failed to start tokio runtime!");
    println!("Tokio runtime exited with code: {}", exit_code)
}

async fn run() -> i32 {
    println!("Program started!");
    // Your async logic here
    0
}

But... why?

I'm tired of writing the same boilerplate code over and over again, so I made it a one-liner!
