# Advent of Code Rust template

This is a basic template you can fork and implement your Advent of Code solutions in. `src/days/` contains a source file
for all 25 days, where an implementation of a trait `Day` should be written.

```rust
pub trait Day {
type Input;

fn parser(input_string: &mut &str) -> PResult;

type Output1: Display;

fn part_1(input: &Self::Input) -> Self::Output1;

type Output2: Display;

fn part_2(input: &Self::Input) -> Self::Output2;
}
```

The parsers should be written using [winnow](https://docs.rs/winnow/latest/winnow/).

## Dev shell

A `flake.nix` provides a [nix](https://nixos.org/) dev shell with the rust toolchain installed.
Enter the shell by running `nix develop` (requires the `nix-command` and `flakes`
[experimental features](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes))

## Usage

First, modify the package metadata in `Cargo.toml` and change the current `YEAR` constant in `src/main.rs`.

Then, find your session cookie. To do so, go to [https://adventofcode.com](adventofcode.com), log in, and press F12. In
the "Application" tab, under "Storage > Cookies > https://adventofcode.com", copy the value of the "session" cookie.
Paste it into a file named `.session` at the root of the project. You can now download input files. To do so, run the
subcommand `get`: `cargo run -- get 1`. The `1` stands for day 1, meaning it will download the input of day
1 of Advent of Code. Alternatively, from December 1st to 25th, you can skip the day parameter, and the program will
download today's input. You can also use `--all` instead of a day parameter to download all input files.

To run your implementation, use `cargo run [-r] -- run 1` (`-r` for release profile) to run day 1. Just like
`get`,you can skip the day parameter to run today's program, or use `--all` to run all days.
