Battery packs: Let's talk about crates, baby
TL;DR
New Rust users often struggle to choose from the vast array of available crates. To simplify this, battery packs have been created as curated sets of recommended crates for specific development tasks.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can quickly set up their Rust projects by using battery packs to streamline crate selection.
Key Takeaways
- Explore existing battery packs to streamline your Rust projects.
- Create your own battery pack to share preferred libraries.
- Use cargo-bp to manage and add dependencies easily.
- Engage with the Rust community to discover tailored solutions.
How It Works
Battery packs are essentially crates that list recommended dependencies and templates for specific tasks. Users can create a new battery pack using the command 'cargo bp new battery-pack', which sets up a template for their recommendations.
The packs can include not just libraries but also configuration templates, making it easier to set up projects with best practices.
