Extremely new to rust (but avid c# nerd). I'm implementing a console based application to control things on a little API based game. Here is my main.rs:
mod api;
mod modules;
use modules::*;
use std::io;
use std::io::{stdin, Write};
use std::process::exit;
fn main() {
loop {
let command = get_input();
println!();
do_command(command);
println!();
}
}
fn get_input() -> String {
let mut input = String::new();
print!("Enter command: ");
io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
stdin().read_line(&mut input).unwrap();
input
}
fn do_command(command: String) {
match command.as_str().trim() {
"agent" => agent::print(),
"agent all" => agent::print_all(),
"agent count" => agent::print_count(),
"ships" | "fleet" => fleet::print(),
"exit" => {
println!("Goodbye!");
exit(0)
},
_ => println!("Command not found!")
}
}
However, I'm finding this is extremely tightly coupled. I need to modify my main.rs every time the modules change. I also would like to attach descriptions to modules so I can dynamically generate a help command. As you can maybe see in the code above a module can have aliases and can have subcommands.
I know I can do this in c# using reflection and attributes. But I'm unsure how to implement this in rust and unfortunately google hasn't given me much, can anyone give me some pointers?
