3. thiserror

   2 17 4,956 9.2 Rust

   derive(Error) for struct and enum error types

   

   What is the benefit of splitting a proc-macro crate into (usually) two crates, proc_macro_crate and proc_macro_crate_impl? Why not just have one crate? Does it offer any benefits to to overall compilation times? An example of this can be seen in the thiserror crate where there's a thiserror and thiserror_impl crate.

4. example-electron-license-activation

   3 4 100 0.0 JavaScript

   An example of how to implement software licensing and device activation in an Electron application

   

   I’m currently developing a commercial product with Rust and I was wondering what the best way to distribute and sell licenses for it is. Should I use a third party like keygen or is there an easy way I could get started on implementing my own. I’m out of my depth when it comes to software licensing so I figure I should ask before assuming it’s a task I can take on myself.

5. rand

   4 33 1,859 8.7 Rust

   A Rust library for random number generation.

   

   Some wasm targets can’t generate random numbers at all but in the case of the book because you are using wasm in a browser you can use JS to generate random numbers. I believe there’s a way to get the rand crate to use JS as the backend for generating rand but its a bit more convoluted than the easy one-liner that the book suggests.

6. hello-world.rs

   Discontinued 🚀Memory safe, blazing fast, configurable, minimal hello world written in rust(🚀) in a few lines of code with few(1092🚀) dependencies🚀

7. egui

   6 220 25,173 9.7 Rust

   egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native

   

   I'd recommend giving egui a try: https://github.com/emilk/egui/. It aims to be very simple to use, and the repo contains several examples.

8. sqlx

   7 151 14,967 9.1 Rust

   🧰 The Rust SQL Toolkit. An async, pure Rust SQL crate featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. (by launchbadge)

   

   Datetime types are not supported in the MSSQL driver currently. We intend to fix that when transitioning it to SQLx Pro: https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/discussions/1616
