Welcome to lorry

A project inspired by SwiftPM

What if you could write Cargo.tomls in Rust

Like this!!

lorry::Program::new() .name("spectesta") .author("jakob Neufeld") .version("1.1.0") .gen();

This project is in beta

I would love to get feedback

Right know I have these fields implemented

• authors
• version
• name
• dependencies
• edition
• documentation
• readme
• description

If you need an extra field, just add it.

lorry only touches the fields in needs to

lorry keeps all of your old Cargo.toml safe :-)

How Does it work

It uses a builder pattern api. When you call gen(). It generates the toml and then saves it to disk.

Thanks to toml edit, only the fields that are necessary are changed

How to add it

1. Make a build script
2. Add the build_dependencie lorry
3. Look at the sample code above
4. Paste it into the build script
5. run cargo check to generate Cargo.toml
6. If you are using vscode with rust- analyzer it works automatically (because rust analyzer runs cargo check every time)

Lorry cli is here!!

Search up lorry-cli for more info

Why

1. You can make a dynamic cargo toml, for example, the version is automatically updated with env vars.
2. Just because it is cool
3. It has IDE completion which helps you write cleaner cargo toml files

Please do not use this in big projects

Nothing is garanteed stable or working
