Todoist add

This project is a proof of concept to show that we can have a simple library implementing Todoist add and exporting bindings for multiple languages using Rust.

The idea here is to implement the request via Rust and export multiple formats with conditional compilation.

Implementations

There are multiple implementations as part of this library. All of them are written in Rust (not considering what is inside the examples directory, of course). They are:

Main library in Rust to make the request to the Todoist API
CLI writen in pure Rust and exposing a todoist command
Java bindings using the jni crate and exposing a simple command to Java
FFI functions to export the functionality to languages that use FFI

How to compile

You can just compile a simple library by running the vanilla cargo build if you just want to use the library for other Rust projects.

    cargo build --release

All features

If you want to have all features compiled, you can rely on the all feature when compiling:

    cargo build --release --features=all

It contains all the features listed above and has a bigger binary because of that.

FFI (for Ruby)

If you want to use the FFI interface to test examples like the one for Ruby, you have to specify the FFI feature:

    cargo build --release --features=ffi

To be sure it works, you can try the ruby example. Be sure you have the ffi gem installed (gem install ffi) and run:

    ruby examples/todoist.rb

JNI

If you want to test the java example, you have to compile the code with support to JNI:

    cargo build --release --features=java

With JNI enabled, you have to generate the header files and compile the java program:

    javac -h examples examples/Todoist.java
    javac examples/Todoist.java
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/target/release java -cp examples Todoist

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH considers that you're using a Linux system. If you're using something else, you will have to specify the path for the libtbdoist library in a way your system understands.
