This package is a library to assist writing a Cargo credential helper, which provides an interface to store tokens for authorizing access to a registry such as https://crates.io/.
Documentation about credential processes may be found at https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/credential-provider-protocol.html
Example implementations may be found at https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/tree/master/credential
This crate is maintained by the Cargo team for use by the wider ecosystem. This crate follows semver compatibility for its APIs.
Create a Cargo project with this as a dependency:
# Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
cargo-credential = "0.4"
And then include a main.rs binary which implements the Credential trait, and calls
the main function which will call the appropriate method of the trait:
// src/main.rs
use cargo_credential::{Credential, Error};
struct MyCredential;
impl Credential for MyCredential {
/// implement trait methods here...
}
fn main() {
cargo_credential::main(MyCredential);
}
