Crate inwelling 

Project Goal

To provide a mechanism for upstream crates to collect information from downstream crates.

Information collected from downstream crates

Invoking collect_downstream() will collect the following information from crates which called inwelling::to() in its build.rs.

• Package name.

• Metadata defined in Cargo.toml.

• Manifest paths of Cargo.toml.

• Source file paths(optional). Call collect_downstream() with the argument inwelling::Opt::dump_rs_paths == true to collect.

Quickstart

1. The upstream crate e.g. crate foo calls inwelling::collect_downstream() in its build.rs and do whatever it want to generate APIs for downstream.

2. The downstream crate e.g. crate bar calls inwelling::to() in its build.rs.

   // build.rs
   fn main() { inwelling::to( "foo" ); }

   To send some metadata to upstream crate foo, encode them in Cargo.toml’s package metadata.

   [package.metadata.inwelling.foo]
   answer = { type = "integer", value = "42" }
