Track and query Cargo dependency graphs.
`guppy` provides a Rust interface to run queries over Cargo dependency graphs. `guppy` parses
the output of [`cargo metadata`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-metadata.html),
then presents a graph interface over it.
## Usage
Add the following to `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
guppy = "0.1"
```
## Examples
Print out all direct dependencies of a package:
```rust
use guppy::graph::PackageGraph;
use guppy::PackageId;
// `guppy` accepts `cargo metadata` JSON output. Use a pre-existing fixture for these examples.
let fixture = include_str!("../fixtures/small/metadata1.json");
let package_graph = PackageGraph::from_json(fixture).unwrap();
// `guppy` provides several ways to get hold of package IDs. Use a pre-defined one for this
// example.
let package_id = PackageId { repr: "testcrate 0.1.0 (path+file:///fakepath/testcrate)".into() };
// dep_links returns all direct dependencies of a package, and it returns `None` if the package
// ID isn't recognized.
for link in package_graph.dep_links(&package_id).unwrap() {
// A dependency link contains `from`, `to` and `edge`. The edge has information about e.g.
// whether this is a build dependency.
println!("direct dependency: {}", link.to.id());
}
```
