caniuse-rs

A Rust client for caniuse.com.

demo

It pulls data from caniuse.com and caches it locally, in a transformed JSON structure that is easier to reason about. It will update data on next run after 24 hours since last update. Fuzzy finder is built using skim.

Install

Via Cargo

If you have a Rust toolchain installed, you can install by running cargo install caniuse-rs. The installed binary is named caniuse.

Prebuilt Binaries

Prebulit binaries are available from the latest GitHub release. Download the binary for your platform, rename it to caniuse, and put it somewhere on your $PATH. When installing this way on MacOS, after attempting to run for the first time, you will need to open MacOS System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab, then click "Allow Anyway" to allow the caniuse executable to run.

Alfred Workflow

You can use this as an Alfred workflow on MacOS by downloading the *.alfredworkflow file for your platform (caniuse-macos-x86.alfredworkflow for Intel Macs, caniuse-macos-arm.alfredworkflow for M1 macs) from the latest GitHub release and double-clicking the file from Finder once downloaded. After attempting to run for the first time, you will need to open MacOS System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab, then click "Allow Anyway" to allow the caniuse executable to run.

Usage

Run caniuse by itself to open the fuzzy finder, then enter a search query to fuzzy find what you're looking for. Pressing enter will open the selected item. If no items match, pressing enter will search for the query you've typed by opening https://caniuse.com/?search={query}.

Options

To dump the data instead of fuzzy finding, you can run caniuse --dump which will simply output the currently cached JSON data that is being used. To pretty-print it, you can run caniuse --dump --pretty.

To force update the cached data, you can run caniuse --update.
