Export DNS resolver for library usage #754
Comments
@crisidev I think we should be able to do this, i'm just not sure what the right approach is. Trippy is intended primarily as a tool but is structured as a tool built on top of a library, such that other tools could be build using the Trippy library. In fact there is an (out of date) pr (#640) to split Trippy into different crates which may or may not happen, i'm still unsure if it is a good idea or not. See this comment for my thoughts on the topic. So right now the library portion of Trippy does not deal with DNS at all and so the dns module is not part of the library, but is part of the tool. Therefore it doesn't make sense to re-export it in lib.rs, even though it would be trivial to do so. I should point out that the DNS resolver in Trippy is simply a wrapper on top of the Aside: I would actually like to divest |
I think that given:
Then I'm ok with it for now. PR up: #756 and this will go into |
You said trivial and I just looked at the PR and I'm like that was a lot. It's easy for you, but it's actually not easy. Required a good understanding of what needed to move where. |
Fair point @c-git ! There was one complication that makes this look more complex than it is which may be worth explaining as it crops up from time to time. The However in the The solution is to duplicate the type into This pattern is repeated for types in the I also improved the rustdoc comments for the dns module given it's now part of the public interface. |
Thanks for explaining that I wasn't quite following what was happening. Thought I'd have to play with it a bit to understand. Thanks for saving me the time. |
@crisidev I did some further refactoring of the dns module to make it more suitable to be part of the public interface. I'll merge it now as it is, please me know if it works for you. |

Hello,
I am wondering if you would be open to exporting the DNS resolver to be used as a library and not only by the main TUI / Stream / etc.
I would be already pretty happy to just have a
pub mod dns
insidelib.rs
. What do you think?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
