cargo-play

Build Status Crates.io

cargo-play is a tool to help you running your Rust code file without manually setting up a Cargo project.

See it in action

Install

cargo install cargo-play

Usage

Simply running cargo play <files> is sufficient. You can specify your external dependency at the beginning of your file with the prefix //#. It accepts the same TOML syntax as in Cargo.toml.

Example

$ cat serde_json.rs
//# serde_json = "*"

use serde_json::{Result, Value};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Some JSON input data as a &str. Maybe this comes from the user.
    let data = r#"
        {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "age": 43,
            "phones": [
                "+44 1234567",
                "+44 2345678"
            ]
        }"#;

    // Parse the string of data into serde_json::Value.
    let v: Value = serde_json::from_str(data)?;

    // Access parts of the data by indexing with square brackets.
    println!("Please call {} at the number {}", v["name"], v["phones"][0]);

    Ok(())
}

It also supports running multiple files at the same time:

$ cat tests/multi/entry.rs
mod hello;

fn main() {
    println!("Hello {}", hello::world());
}
$ cat tests/multi/hello.rs
pub fn world() -> String {
    "World".into()
}

Hello World

Files under sub-directories will be copied and placed relatively to the first file. Try:

cargo play tests/subdirs/**/*.rs

To Do

  • Editor plugins
    • Vim
    • VS Code
  • Toolchain supports
  • Edition Support

Editor Support

Vim

Add this line to your .vimrc or init.vim:

command! CargoPlay !cargo play %

With your code file open, running :CargoPlay will allow you to test your current file within an auto-generated cargo project.

VSCode

Install the VSCode Extension

OR

Open Command Palette and select Configure Task

  • This will either create a new tasks.json or open your existing tasks.json

Add the following task:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "shell",
            "label": "CargoPlay",
            "command": "cargo",
            "args": [
                "play",
                "${file}",
            ],
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$rustc"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Now open the Command Palette, select Run Task and then run the new CargoPlay task

Micro

add this to your micro ~/.config/micro/init.lua

local config = import("micro/config")
local shell = import("micro/shell")

function init()
    config.TryBindKey("Alt-b", "lua:initlua.play", true)
    config.MakeCommand("cargoplay", play, config.NoComplete)
end

function play(bp)

    bp:Save()

    if bp.Buf:FileType() == "rust" then
        shell.RunInteractiveShell("cargo play " .. bp.Buf.Path, true, false)
    end
end

Then you can hit Alt + b to build your current file usig cargo play or you can use Ctrl + E and in the command console type cargoplay
