# Envhead
Envhead is a crate that creates environment variable names using a static prefix. The desired prefix is defined in your build script `build.rs`.
### Usage
First, you should define the prefix in your `build.rs` file. In this example, we will use `MY_APP` as the prefix:
```rust
fn main() {
println!("cargo:rustc-env=ENV_HEAD_PREFIX=MY_APP");
}
```
When the `ENV_HEAD_PREFIX` variable is not defined, `ENV` is used as the default prefix.
Then, in your code, you can use the `envhead!` macro to create environment variable names.
```rust
use envhead::envhead;
fn main() {
let env_var = envhead!("server_port");
// Prints "MY_APP_SERVER_PORT":
println!("{}", env_var);
}
```
You might find it useful to use `envhead` together with `clap` to create environment variable names for your command line arguments:
```rust
use clap::Args;
use envhead::envhead;
#[derive(Debug, Args)]
pub struct ServerArgs {
#[arg(
short = 'p', long,
required = false,
value_name = "port",
value_hint = clap::ValueHint::Other,
help = "The server's port.",
default_value_t = 8000,
env = envhead!("server_port"),
)]
pub port: u16,
#[arg(
long,
required = true,
value_name = "SECRET_TOKEN",
value_hint = clap::ValueHint::Other,
help = "The secret token to authenticate the client.",
env = envhead!("server_secret_token"),
)]
pub secret_token: Option<String>,
}
```
