Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (23/2023)!
“cargo add” from https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit has that behavior, but not the built in one that was added to cargo
-
Is Rust's cargo-edit crate still relevant?
I have also noticed that the last commit of cargo-edit crate's GitHub repo (https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit) was two days ago (pretty recent.) So it is probably relevant for a lot of people.

What are some useful tools for Rust?
cargo-upgrade from cargo-edit (somewhat more intentional than builtin update)

How to list upgradable crates programmatically
I've also tried cargo-upgrade from cargo-edit like so:

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (9/2023)!
You can also see how other crates do it. For example, cargo-edit is just like that - a single package with a library with a couple of small cli wrappers around it. You can compare their Cargo.toml to yours, maybe there is something different about them.

`toml` vs `toml_edit` (ie `toml` 0.6 is out)
Just to check, are you aware of cargo-edit's cargo-set-version or cargo-release?

Rust 1.66
Speaking of cargo remove, see also cargo-edit [0] from which adding and removing originally came, as well as cargo-binstall [1] which installs binaries rather than compiling from source every time. The binaries are updatable with cargo-update [2].
The latter two can replace a package manager for Rust related utilities, as I often find that those in OS package repositories are often not as up to date as directly from cargo.

TIL about cargo add
For context, it was/is part of cargo-edit crate which provides other nice functionalities as well. Hope all gets integrated in time.

how can I use same crate but with different features?
https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit can use the F option
- `cargo-set-version` support for workspace inheritance released in cargo-edit 0.11.4!

CLI Contexts
I recently came across this question (and associated answer) on the clap repository. The answer given is a good one. But I wanted to expand with my own findings and practices, which spurred the motivation for this post.

Getting Started with CLI tools in Rust using Clap
We can also use tuple-like struct syntax and named-field struct syntax for enum variants within our enum; this is because unlike in other OOP languages, Rust enums are actually sum types. You can read more about how powerful Rust enums are in another article we wrote here. You can have optional arguments by simply wrapping the types in Option, but if you want to add a flag to a command you can use bool, since clap recognises that flags are either there or not there. Let's have a look at what this might look like:

Flow Updater JSON Creator
I began by developing a wrapper for the CurseForge API, which turned out to be a lengthy and challenging process but constituted the bulk of the work. Next, I coded the CLI, which was relatively straightforward. Instead of using the clap crate, a Rust tool for generating CLIs, I opted for the following line of code:
-
netcrab: a networking tool
By this time I had already gotten tired of parsing arguments by myself and had looked for something to help with that. I found a really dang good argument parsing library called clap. What makes it so cool is it's largely declarative for common uses. You simply mark up a struct with attributes, and the parser automatically generates the usage and all the argument parsing code.

I made an alternative --help renderer for clap based applications
Is this just referring to wrapping based on the terminal width? That is supported with the wrap_help feature though I have been considering making it a default feature.

Looking for advice around project direction using artix-web
CLI, use Clap. If you want to get fancy, use Tui.

Build a HTTP server with Rust and tokio - Part 1: serving static files
As our CLI is getting more complex, we'll use the clap crate to parse the command line arguments.
