OpenCrates: AI-Powered Rust Development Companion

OpenCrates is a comprehensive, AI-powered toolkit designed to accelerate Rust development by offering intelligent crate generation, project analysis, and advanced code assistance. It is built for professional developers who value efficiency, best practices, and robust tooling.

Features

  • Intelligent Crate Generation: Create new Rust crates from templates with AI-assisted configuration and dependency selection.
  • Advanced Project Analysis: Perform comprehensive analysis of existing projects to identify dependencies, check for vulnerabilities, and suggest improvements.
  • AI-Powered Code Assistance: Leverage OpenAI's GPT models for code completion, refactoring, and optimization suggestions.
  • Interactive TUI Dashboard: Manage projects, view analysis results, and interact with AI features through a terminal-based user interface.
  • Extensible Agent System: Utilize a flexible agent system for custom automated workflows and integrations.
  • Comprehensive Caching: Speed up operations with a multi-layer caching system supporting both in-memory and Redis backends.
  • Web Server and API: Expose OpenCrates' functionality through a FastAPI-based web server with a full REST API.
  • Metrics and Health Monitoring: Monitor application performance and health with Prometheus-compatible metrics and health check endpoints.

System Requirements

  • Rust (1.70 or newer)
  • Docker & Docker Compose (for containerized deployment)
  • An active OpenAI API key

Quick Start

1. Installation

Clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/OpenCrates.git
cd OpenCrates
cargo build --release

2. Environment Configuration

Export your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

3. Verify Installation

Run the test suite to ensure all components are functioning correctly:

cargo test

Usage

OpenCrates provides a powerful command-line interface (CLI) for all its features.

Initialize a Project

# Initialize a new project in the current directory
opencrates init

# Initialize in a specific directory
opencrates init ./my-new-project

Generate a Crate

opencrates generate --name "my-awesome-crate" --description "A new crate generated by OpenCrates"

Analyze a Project

# Analyze the current project and get AI recommendations
opencrates analyze --recommendations

Start the Web Server

opencrates serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080

Once running, the API is available at http://127.0.0.1:8080.

Docker Deployment

For a containerized setup, use the provided Docker and Docker Compose configurations.

Build the Docker Image

docker build -t opencrates-app .

Run with Docker Compose

This will start the OpenCrates application server and a Redis instance for caching.

docker-compose up -d

Development

Running Tests

# Run all tests
cargo test

# Run only integration tests
cargo test --test integration_tests

Code Formatting and Linting

This project uses rustfmt for formatting and clippy for linting.

cargo fmt
cargo clippy -- -D warnings

Generating Documentation

cargo doc --open

This will build and open the project documentation in your web browser.

Configuration

OpenCrates can be configured through various methods:

Environment Variables

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export OPENCRATES_HOST="0.0.0.0"
export OPENCRATES_PORT="8080"
export OPENCRATES_LOG_LEVEL="info"

Configuration File

Create opencrates.toml:

[server]
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 8080
workers = 4

[ai]
provider = "openai"
model = "gpt-4o"
max_tokens = 4096
temperature = 0.7

[database]
url = "sqlite:opencrates.db"
max_connections = 10

[cache]
type = "memory"
ttl = 3600
