AI Summary

Announcing lta-rs v0.3.0, a Rust client for Singapore's Datamall APIs. Key changes include refactoring modules into separate async/blocking crates, adding async/await support, migrating CI from Travis to Azure Pipelines, and an example showing how to fetch bus arrival data using the new async API.

I would like to announce the arrival of lta-rs v0.3.0!

lta-rs is a client to interact with Singapore’s Datamall APIs implemented in Rust. In this version, there were quite a few changes and let me go through some of the highlights

Refactored modules to separate crates which can be enabled by features async and blocking
Added support for async/await. Internally, the whole library uses async/await to simplify writing asynchronous programs
General internal code clean up

In terms of development, lta-rs has moved on from travis.ci to Azure Pipelines to have more insights regarding compilation on Windows and MacOS.

lta-rs async/await in action

Put this in your cargo.toml

[dependencies]
lta = { version = "0.3.0", features = ["async"] }

use std::env;
use lta::prelude::*;
use lta::r#async::{
    bus::get_arrival,
    lta_client::LTAClient
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> LTAResult<()> {
    let api_key = env::var("API_KEY").expect("API_KEY must be set!");
    let client = LTAClient::with_api_key(api_key);
    let arrivals_one = get_arrival(&client, 83139, None).await?;
    let arrivals_two = get_arrival(&client, 83139, None).await?;
    println!("{:?} \n{:?}", arrivals_one, arrivals_two);
    Ok(())
}

I would like to thank those who have supported me in building library. That’s all folks!
