Scaffold

Quickly add dependencies to your existing Rust project.

I find myself always scouring the internet or looking through old projects to find the same dependencies over and over. This is a tool I made to automate that process.

Find it on crates.io

The help screen really says it all.

Examples:

Before:

[package]
name = "some_rust_project"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Kim Hermansson <h4xrk1m@gmail.com>"]
edition = "2018"

[dependencies]

$ scaffold cli
$ scaffold json

After:

[package]
name = "empty-test-file"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Kim Hermansson <h4xrk1m@gmail.com>"]
edition = "2018"

[dependencies]
config = "0.9.3"
serde_derive = "1.0.102"
serde_json = "1.0.41"
structopt = "0.3.4"

[dependencies.serde]
version = "1.0.102"
features = ["derive"]

Let's say I also want the rand crate:

$ scaffold crate rand

Or let's say I want the rand crate with the std feature:

$ scaffold crate rand --features std

Or maybe I want two extra crates:

$ scaffold crates rand regex
