An High-Performance Utility and Wrapper Functions Rust Library 
Mini Functions is an opinionated collection of utility and wrapper functions that aims to accelerate Rust development by providing useful, easy-to-use, and high-performance tools.
Here’s a breakdown of the features available today:
- Common constants: These constants are an integral part of the library and are used in functions such as date formatting, password generation, and UUID generation.
- Date and time functions: These functions allow you to retrieve and manipulate information about dates and times.
- Hash functions: These functions generate hashes for various data types.
- Log functions: These functions are designed to help you debug and troubleshoot your Rust code by providing a simple and intuitive way to log messages to the console.
- Password functions: These functions generate passwords and verify passwords.
-
QRCode functions: These functions generate QRCode images and data.
Random number functions: These functions generate random numbers in a variety of sizes and formats. - UUID functions: These functions generate UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers).
Join the Mini Functions Community
Mini Functions is an ongoing project that is constantly evolving and improving. Our goal is to make it a highly-performant utility and wrapper functions library for Rust. We’ve already added a number of functions and features to the library, and we have more planned for the future but we need your help.
As an open source project, we welcome contributions from the community. If you’re an experienced Rust developer and you’re interested in helping us shape the direction of the project, we encourage you to get involved. Whether you have ideas for new features, want to help fix bugs, or just want to learn more about Rust development, we welcome your contributions.
