tinted-builder-rust

A builder for base16 and base24 templates using the 0.11.1 builder specification.

This repo contains a command-line tool, tinted-builder-rust, to build base16 and base24 templates. It is also contains a library crate, tinted-builder, which you can use to directly build templates within your own Rust application.

CLI

Installation

Cargo

cargo install tinted-builder-rust

Homebrew

brew tap tinted-theming/tinted
brew install tinted-builder-rust

Binaries

Download the relevant binary from the repository releases page.

Basic Usage

tinted-builder-rust sync # To sync with latest schemes
tinted-builder-rust build path/to/base16-template

Commands

The following is a table of the available subcommands for the CLI tool (tinted-builder-rust), including the descriptions and any notable arguments.

Subcommand	Description	Arguments	Example Usage	Flags
sync	Installs and or updates latest schemes.	-	tinted-builder-rust sync	--quiet (silence stderr and stdout)
build	Builds the themes of a template.	template_path: Path to template directory.	tinted-builder-rust build ./path/to/base16-template	--quiet (silence stderr and stdout), --sync (equivalent of running tinted-builder-rust sync before tinted-builder-rust build)

Flags

Flag/Option	Description	Applicable Subcommands	Default Value	Example Usage
--schemes-dir -s	Path to a custom local schemes directory to use when building. Only necessary if the latest schemes repository is not desired.	build	tinted-builder-rust build . --schemes-dir=/path/to/schemes/dir
--data-dir -d	Specifies a custom path for the data directory.	All	Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/tinted-theming/tinted-builder-rust or ~/.local/share. MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/tinted-theming/tinted-builder-rust	tinted-builder-rust sync --data-dir /path/to/custom/data-dir
--help -h	Displays help information for the subcommand.	All	-	tinted-builder-rust --help, tinted-builder-rust build --help, etc
--version -V	Shows the version of tinted-builder-rust.	All	-	tinted-builder-rust --version

Builder specification

tinted-builder-rust implements the 0.11.1 builder specification. This specification details the scheme yaml format or schema as well as the variables the builder should provide when rendering template mustache file. Have a look at the builder specification document for more details.

Library

This library exposes a Scheme and Template struct which you can use to generate your own themes using base16 and base24 templates and 0.11.1 compliant base16 and base24 scheme files.

Internally tinted-builder-rust uses ribboncurls to render the templates.

Library installation

cargo add tinted-builder-rust

Library Usage

use tinted_builder_rust::{Scheme, Template};
use std::fs::read_to_string;

let template_str = read_to_string("path/to/template.mustache").unwrap();
let scheme_str = read_to_string("path/to/scheme.yml").unwrap();
let scheme = Scheme::Base16(serde_yaml::from_str(&scheme_str).unwrap());
let template = Template::new(template_str, scheme);

template
    .render()
    .unwrap();

The Scheme struct is as follows:

use std::collections::HashMap;
use tinted_builder::{SchemeSystem, SchemeVariant};

pub struct Scheme {
    pub system: SchemeSystem,
    pub name: String,
    pub slug: String,
    pub author: String,
    pub description: Option<String>,
    pub variant: SchemeVariant,
    pub palette: HashMap<String, Color>,
}

pub struct Color {
    pub hex: (String, String, String),
    pub rgb: (u8, u8, u8),
    pub dec: (f32, f32, f32),
}

Template::new The Template struct simply sets the content provided to it via Template::new.

template.render_to_file(&scheme) takes the scheme and generates the variables defined in the 0.11.1 builder specification.
