Next steps

[LukasKalbertodt]

There are still several things I absolutely want to add. This issue is mostly just a note to myself.

Soon

• [x] format should mention env variables
• [ ] Add from attribute to deserialize into another type and then use From or TryFrom
  • Or sth like parse
• [ ] Validation
• [ ] Rename?
• [ ] Forward other derives??? (or maybe not, just derive Debug for Partial)
  • We cannot see other derives, only in special circumstances
  • Thus we probably want #[config(derive_for_partial = Debug)] or sth
  • Maybe a more general attribute forward?

Later

• [ ] More format options. Maybe we don't need one Option type per file format?
• [x] Tests
• [ ] Make sure error messages when misusing proc macro are good. Also when fields don't implement Deserialize and stuff.
• [x] Arrays as default values
• [ ] Deserialize sequences from env via comma separated values?
• [ ] config.{toml,yaml} kind of syntax? Mhhh probably not?
• [x] Think about env deserialization again
• [ ] Nested Vec<_> and HashMap<_, _> maybe?

What about allowing to derive Config for enums? I started using your library in my project and have oneof fields described by enums. I parse it with serde fow now, so it's a mixed approach.

I'd really like support for default array values.

I'd really like support for default array values.

I implemented this now. Still haven't pushed/released, but that should happen in the coming days.

Locking this issue as it was meant as a note to myself. For comments or other feature requests, feel free to just open a new issue!

[LukasKalbertodt]

Array default values are release with 0.2.0.

I will close this as all still relevant points have their own issue now.
