You can find the crate here.

You can follow up and participate in this open source project at this GitHub repo.

If you want to try it:

Create a new rust project

cargo new my-box-project
cd my-box-project

Add rusty-box to your dependencies

cargo add dotenv
cargo add rusty-box

Create a .dev.env file in the root of your project

DEVELOPER_TOKEN=YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN

Open your main.rs file and add the following code

use rusty_box::{
    auth::{auth_developer::DeveloperToken, AuthError},
    box_client::BoxClient,
    config::Config,
    rest_api::users::users_api,
};
use std::env;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), AuthError> {
    dotenv::from_filename(".dev.env").ok();

    let config = Config::new();
    let auth = DeveloperToken::new(
        config,
        env::var("DEVELOPER_TOKEN").expect("DEVELOPER_TOKEN must be set"),
    );

    let mut client = BoxClient::new(Box::new(auth.clone()));

    let fields = vec![];

    let me = users_api::me(&mut client, Some(fields)).await?;
    println!("Me:\n{me:#?}\n");

    Ok(())
}

Run your project

cargo run

Have fun!
