## 📜 About
- [Documentation](./documentation/): Explains the theory for each file format, the advantages and disadvantages compared to other file formats in the same category, why it is stored in that way, and the **User Manual** for the implementation.
- [`fileformats` Implementation](./src/): **Command-Line Interface and Rust Library** to cover most common features of each file format, and understand practically how the theory works. The features of the implementation include, but is not limited to, **read, write, convert, and compare** between file formats.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
#### Rust Toolchain
The current Minimum Supported [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) Version (MSRV) is **v1.74.0**.
The project is **tested** against the following Rust versions:
- **Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV): v1.74.0**
- **Latest Stable Version**
#### Rust Globally Installed Crate
The project requires [cargo-run-bin v1.7.2](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-run-bin) to be installed globally.
It can be installed using the following command:
```sh
cargo install cargo-run-bin@1.7.2
```
#### External Linting Tools (optional)
**External linting tools** are used to ensure a consistent code style and commit message format. They are **used in the Continuous Integration (CI)** pipeline and **can be optionally used locally**.
They have to be installed using [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) >= v20.0.0 and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) >= v10.0.0.
- [editorconfig-checker](https://editorconfig-checker.github.io/) (`npm install --global editorconfig-checker@5.1.2`)
- [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) v3.2.4 (`npm install --global prettier@3.2.4`)
- [markdownlint-cli2](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2) v0.12.1 (`npm install --global markdownlint-cli2@0.12.1`)
- [commitlint](https://commitlint.js.org/#/) v18.6.0 (`npm install --global @commitlint/cli@18.6.0 @commitlint/config-conventional@18.6.0`)
### Usage
```sh
# Run `fileformats` CLI
cargo run --help
# Documentation
cargo bin mdbook serve
# Build, Lint, and Test
cargo build
cargo test
cargo clippy --verbose -- -D warnings
cargo fmt -- --check
# External Linting Tools Usage (optional)
editorconfig-checker
prettier . --check
markdownlint-cli2
echo 'chore: try commitlint' | commitlint
```
