# 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.

## Status: Work in Progress

Only a limited set of operations (e.g., creating and listing records) are
currently supported. The goal is to implement coverage for at least the full
set of non-enterprise API endpoints, but my initial emphasis is on getting a
relatively small subset built and tested well.

## Usage

```rust
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);
  }
}
```
