Convex Rust Client (None Async) help

Hello, im writing a a web scrapper and i want to save some data to convex. I cant use async rust. So how can i use the convex base client to send some mutation data over to my convex server.

const MUTATION_QUERY_KEY: &str = "anime:createAnimeData";

fn save_to_database() {
    println!("Loading data from disk...");

    let mut data: Vec<AnimeData> = Vec::new();
    let files = std::fs::read_dir("anime").unwrap();

    for file in files {
        let path = file.unwrap().path();
        if path.is_file() {
            let contents = std::fs::read_to_string(path).unwrap();
            let json_data: AnimeData = serde_json::from_str(&contents).unwrap();
            data.push(json_data);
        }
    }

    println!("Sending data to convex server...");

    let client = BaseConvexClient::new();

    for anime in data {
        client.mutation(MUTATION_QUERY_KEY, maplit::btreemap! {});
    }

    println!("Done!");
}

const MUTATION_QUERY_KEY: &str = "anime:createAnimeData";

fn save_to_database() {
    println!("Loading data from disk...");

    let mut data: Vec<AnimeData> = Vec::new();
    let files = std::fs::read_dir("anime").unwrap();

    for file in files {
        let path = file.unwrap().path();
        if path.is_file() {
            let contents = std::fs::read_to_string(path).unwrap();
            let json_data: AnimeData = serde_json::from_str(&contents).unwrap();
            data.push(json_data);
        }
    }

    println!("Sending data to convex server...");

    let client = BaseConvexClient::new();

    for anime in data {
        client.mutation(MUTATION_QUERY_KEY, maplit::btreemap! {});
    }

    println!("Done!");
}

Here is the code. However i have a few errors:

mismatched types
expected `UdfPath`, found `&str`

mismatched types
expected `UdfPath`, found `&str`

Why does the mutation take this type? Should it not be the key of the function?

the rust client is open source, so you can see what UdfPath is, what it's for, and how to make one https://github.com/get-convex/convex-rs/blob/main/sync_types/src/udf_path.rs

tl;dr it's a struct that has some methods for converting "foo" into "foo:default", checking if the path starts with _system, and a few more things. and you can make one with MUTATION_QUERY_KEY.parse().unwrap()

oh i see thank you oh i did not see i needed to install the convex_sync_types crate okay i got it working, took a little to play around with the convex types. also just to make things easier i moved to the async client lol but i forgot that v.number is f64 so i had to rework a lot of my u32 types but thanks for the help
