get the temp directory rust
To get the temporary directory in Rust, you can use the tempdir
crate. First, add tempdir
to your dependencies in your Cargo.toml
file:
[dependencies]
tempdir = "0.3"
Then, you can use the following code to create a temporary directory:
use std::env;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use tempdir::TempDir;
fn main() {
let temp_dir = TempDir::new("my_temp_dir").expect("Failed to create temporary directory");
let path_buf: PathBuf = temp_dir.into();
let path = path_buf.to_str().expect("Failed to convert path to string");
println!("Temporary directory: {}", path);
}
This code creates a temporary directory using TempDir::new
and assigns it to the temp_dir
variable. Then, it converts the TempDir
into a PathBuf
using into()
. Finally, it converts the PathBuf
into a string using to_str()
and prints the path to the console.
Make sure to handle any errors that may occur during the creation of the temporary directory.
