# Ferrtable: Ferris the Crab's Favorite Airtable Client
A power vacuum churns where the venerable
[airtable-api](https://crates.io/crates/airtable-api) (archived but not
forgotten) once stood tall. The world calls for a new leader to carry the
fallen torch. From the dust rises Ferrtable: to abase SQL supremacy, to turn
all the tables, to rise inexorably to the top of the field, and to set the
record straight.
Ferrtable provides async Rust bindings for a subset of the
[Airtable web API](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction).
Notably, it allows records to be read from and written to arbitrary Rust types
that implement the `Clone`, `serde::Deserialize`, and `serde::Serialize` traits.
This crate follows in the footsteps of the
[airtable-api](https://crates.io/crates/airtable-api) crate from Oxide Computer
Company, which appears to have be archived and unmaintained since 2022.
By comparison, Ferrtable aims to provide a more flexible and expressive client
interface as well as greater control over paginated responses with the help of
async [streams](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch17-04-streams.html).

//! # Ferrtable: Ferris the Crab's Favorite Airtable Client
//!
//! ## Status: Work in Progress
//!
//! Only a limited set of operations are currently supported. Any version bumps
//! before version 0.1 may include breaking changes to the crate API.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use futures::prelude::*;
//!
//! // Ferrtable allows us to use any record types that implement Clone,
//! // Deserialize, and Serialize.
//! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]
//! struct MyRecord {
//! #[serde(rename = "Name")]
//! name: String,
//!
//! #[serde(rename = "Notes")]
//! notes: String,
//!
//! #[serde(rename = "Assignee")]
//! assignee: Option<String>,
//!
//! #[serde(rename = "Status")]
//! status: Status,
//!
//! #[serde(rename = "Attachments")]
//! attachments: Vec<ferrtable::cell_values::AttachmentRead>,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Deserialize, Serialize)]
//! enum Status {
//! Todo,
//!
//! #[serde(rename = "In progress")]
//! InProgress,
//!
//! Done,
//! }
//!
//! #[tokio::main]
//! async fn main() {
//! let client = ferrtable::Client::new_from_access_token("******").unwrap();
//!
//! client
//! .create_records([MyRecord {
//! name: "Steal Improbability Drive".to_owned(),
//! notes: "Just for fun, no other reason.".to_owned(),
//! assignee: None,
//! status: Status::InProgress,
//! attachments: vec![],
//! }])
//! .with_base_id("***".to_owned())
//! .with_table_id("***".to_owned())
//! .build()
//! .unwrap()
//! .execute()
//! .await
//! .unwrap();
//!
//! let mut rec_stream = client
//! .list_records()
//! .with_base_id("***".to_owned())
//! .with_table_id("***".to_owned())
//! .with_filter("{status} = 'Todo' || {status} = 'In Progress'".to_owned())
//! .build()
//! .unwrap()
//! .stream_items::<MyRecord>();
//!
//! while let Some(result) = rec_stream.next().await {
//! let rec = result.unwrap();
//! dbg!(rec.fields);
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! ### `chrono`
//!
//! Deserializes certain Airtable timestamp fields as `chrono::DateTime` values
//! instead of [`String`]s. Disabled by default.
