Getting Started

Prerequisites

The following tools need to be installed on your system to take full advantage of @monodon/rust

• Node (LTS)
• Rust / Cargo via https://rustup.rs

Install with npx create-nx-workspace preset

To bootstrap a new workspace with @monodon/rust installed and ready, run:

npx create-nx-workspace --preset=@monodon/rust

Installation in already set up workspace

Use your favourite package manager to install in your project:

yarn add -D @monodon/rust

npm install -D @monodon/rust

pnpm add -D @monodon/rust

Initialization

After installing, you can run any of the project generators (binary, library) to have @monodon/rust set up Cargo in your workspace.

Generators

Use Nx Console to see the full list of options for each generator.

@monodon/rust:binary

Creates a Rust binary application to be run independently.

Create a new binary:

nx generate @monodon/rust:binary my-rust-app

@monodon/rust:library

Creates a Rust library that can be used in binaries, or compiled to be used for napi.

Create a new library:

nx generate @monodon/rust:library my-rust-lib

Create a new library with napi:

nx generate @monodon/rust:library my-rust-node-lib --napi

Napi

Generating a library with the --napi flag will set up the project to be built with it.

Executors

All the executors support these additional properties:

• toolchain: (e.g. --toolchain='stable' | 'beta' | 'nightly');
  • Uses stable by default
• target (e.g. --target=aarch64-apple-darwin);
• profile (e.g. --profile=dev)
  • Cargo profiles
• release
• target-dir
• features (e.g. --features=bmp)
  • Cargo features
• all-features
• args
  • Arguments forwarding to the executor.
