[][src]Crate cargo_metadata

Structured access to the output of cargo metadata Usually used from within a cargo-* executable

Examples

With std::env::args():

let mut args = std::env::args().skip_while(|val| !val.starts_with("--manifest-path"));

let mut cmd = cargo_metadata::MetadataCommand::new();
let manifest_path = match args.next() {
    Some(ref p) if p == "--manifest-path" => {
        cmd.manifest_path(args.next().unwrap());
    }
    Some(p) => {
        cmd.manifest_path(p.trim_left_matches("--manifest-path="));
    }
    None => {}
};

let _metadata = cmd.exec().unwrap();

With docopt:

const USAGE: &str = "
    Cargo metadata test function

    Usage:
      cargo_metadata [--manifest-path PATH]
";

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Args {
    arg_manifest_path: Option<String>,
}

let args: Args = Docopt::new(USAGE)
    .and_then(|d| d.deserialize())
    .unwrap_or_else(|e| e.exit());

let mut cmd = cargo_metadata::MetadataCommand::new();
if let Some(path) = args.arg_manifest_path {
    cmd.manifest_path(path);
}
let _metadata = cmd.exec().unwrap();

With clap:


let matches = clap::App::new("myapp")
    .arg(
        clap::Arg::with_name("manifest-path")
            .long("manifest-path")
            .value_name("PATH")
            .takes_value(true),
    )
    .get_matches();

let mut cmd = cargo_metadata::MetadataCommand::new();
if let Some(path) = matches.value_of("manifest-path") {
    cmd.manifest_path(path);
}
let _metadata = cmd.exec().unwrap();

With structopt:

#[derive(Debug, StructOpt)]
struct Opt {
    #[structopt(name = "PATH", long="manifest-path", parse(from_os_str))]
    manifest_path: Option<PathBuf>,
}

let opt = Opt::from_args();
let mut cmd = cargo_metadata::MetadataCommand::new();
if let Some(path) = opt.manifest_path {
    cmd.manifest_path(path);
}
let _metadata = cmd.exec().unwrap();

Pass features flags

use cargo_metadata::{MetadataCommand, CargoOpt};

let _metadata = MetadataCommand::new()
    .manifest_path("./Cargo.toml")
    .features(CargoOpt::AllFeatures)
    .exec()
    .unwrap();

Structs

Dependency

A dependency of the main crate

Error

The Error type.

Metadata

Starting point for metadata returned by cargo metadata

MetadataCommand

A builder for configurating cargo metadata invocation.

Node

A node in a dependencies graph

NodeDep

A dependency in a node

Package

A crate

PackageId

An "opaque" identifier for a package. It is possible to inspect the repr field, if the need arises, but its precise format is an implementation detail and is subject to change.

Resolve

Enums

CargoOpt

Cargo features flags

DependencyKind

Dependencies can come in three kinds

ErrorKind

The kind of an error.

Type Definitions

Result

Convenient wrapper around std::Result.
