`shadow-rs` allows you to access properties of the build process and environment at runtime, including:

* `Cargo.toml` information, such as the project version
* Dependency information
* Git information, such as the commit that produced the build artifact
* What version of the Rust toolchain was used in compilation
* The build variant, e.g. `debug` or `release`
* ... And more!

You can use this crate to programmatically check where a binary came from and how it was built.

Currently, integration into **wasm** is also supported. For detailed settings, please refer to the link [example_wasm](https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs/tree/master/example_wasm).

# Note on Caching

`shadow-rs` build information **is not always rebuilt** when you build a project. `shadow-rs` outputs several hints to Cargo in order to force rebuilds when required, but this does not always work. You can enforce up-to-date build information by running `cargo clean` before the build, or use a CI/CD pipeline tool. For more details, see <https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs/issues/95>.

# Examples

* Check out the [example_shadow](https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs/tree/master/example_shadow) for a simple demonstration of how `shadow-rs` might be used to provide build-time information at run-time.
* Check out the [example_shadow_hook](https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs/tree/master/example_shadow_hook) for a demonstration of how custom hooks can be used to add extra information to `shadow-rs`'s output.
* Check out the [`builtin_fn` example](https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs/tree/master/examples/builtin_fn.rs) for a simple demonstration of the built-in functions that `shadow-rs` provides.

# Setup

### 1) Modify `Cargo.toml` fields
Modify your `Cargo.toml` like so:

```toml
[package]
build = "build.rs"

[dependencies]
shadow-rs = "{latest version}"

[build-dependencies]
shadow-rs = "{latest version}"
```

### 2) Create `build.rs` file
Now in the root of your project (same directory as `Cargo.toml`) add a file `build.rs`:

```rust
fn main() -> shadow_rs::SdResult<()> {
    shadow_rs::new()
}
```

If you want to exclude some build constants, you can use [`new_deny`] instead of [`new`].

### 3) Integrate Shadow
In your main Rust file (usually `main.rs` or `lib.rs`), add this:

```rust
use shadow_rs::shadow;

shadow!(build);
```

The `shadow!` macro uses the given identifier to create a module with that name.

### 4) Use Shadow Constants
You can now use the module defined with `shadow!` to access build-time information.

```rust
fn main(){
    println!("debug:{}", shadow_rs::is_debug()); // check if this is a debug build. e.g 'true/false'
    println!("branch:{}", shadow_rs::branch()); // get current project branch. e.g 'master/develop'
    println!("tag:{}", shadow_rs::tag()); // get current project tag. e.g 'v1.3.5'
    println!("git_clean:{}", shadow_rs::git_clean()); // get current project clean. e.g 'true/false'
    println!("git_status_file:{}", shadow_rs::git_status_file()); // get current project statue file. e.g '  * examples/builtin_fn.rs (dirty)'

    println!("{}", build::VERSION); //print version const
    println!("{}", build::CLAP_LONG_VERSION); //print CLAP_LONG_VERSION const
    println!("{}", build::BRANCH); //master
    println!("{}", build::SHORT_COMMIT);//8405e28e
    println!("{}", build::COMMIT_HASH);//8405e28e64080a09525a6cf1b07c22fcaf71a5c5
    println!("{}", build::COMMIT_DATE);//2021-08-04 12:34:03 +00:00
    println!("{}", build::COMMIT_AUTHOR);//baoyachi
    println!("{}", build::COMMIT_EMAIL);//xxx@gmail.com

    println!("{}", build::BUILD_OS);//macos-x86_64
    println!("{}", build::RUST_VERSION);//rustc 1.45.0 (5c1f21c3b 2020-07-13)
    println!("{}", build::RUST_CHANNEL);//stable-x86_64-apple-darwin (default)
    println!("{}", build::CARGO_VERSION);//cargo 1.45.0 (744bd1fbb 2020-06-15)
    println!("{}", build::PKG_VERSION);//0.3.13
    println!("{}", build::CARGO_TREE); //like command:cargo tree
    println!("{}", build::CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR); // /User/baoyachi/shadow-rs/ |

    println!("{}", build::PROJECT_NAME);//shadow-rs
    println!("{}", build::BUILD_TIME);//2020-08-16 14:50:25
    println!("{}", build::BUILD_RUST_CHANNEL);//debug
    println!("{}", build::GIT_CLEAN);//false
    println!("{}", build::GIT_STATUS_FILE);//* src/lib.rs (dirty)
}
```

#### Reproducibility

This tool includes the current time in the binary which would normally make it non-reproducible.
However, it respects the [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` variable](https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/) - if
set to a Unix timestamp it will override the value of build time.

## Clap
You can also use `shadow-rs` to provide information to command-line interface crates such as [`clap`](https://docs.rs/clap/latest/clap/). An example of this can be found in [`example_shadow`](https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs/blob/master/example_shadow/src/main.rs).
