When implementing a new configuration parameter for Texted, I needed something to represent the date the blog started.


When looking into the TOML website, I was fortunate to discover that it has a data type for dates, so I could create the new parameter



blog_start_date = 2016-06-25


However, my fortune was gone as I found that the Toml crate does not support deserialising.


First, I tried to find if any other crate implemented this, but I found nothing …

blog create data datetime however opensource programming rust something toml type website
