minver_rs

Implementation of https://github.com/adamralph/minver using Rust

How to use

CLI

The CLI binary allows minver to be run as a regular command.

1. Install minver_rs using cargo

> cargo install minver_rs

2. Run minver (Note: Make sure that .cargo\bin is on your PATH)

> minver
1.2.3

Build Util

The build util binary is a tool that can be integrated into your build to automatically update Cargo.toml with the correct version.

1. Install minver_rs using cargo

> cargo install minver_rs

2. Set the environment variable MINVER_UPDATE_VERSION

> export MINVER_UPDATE_VERSION=1

3. Run minver_build_util (Note: Make sure that .cargo\bin is on your PATH)

> minver_build_util

As a build dependency

minver_rs can also be used directly in build.rs.

1. Add a build dependency on minver_rs

[build-dependencies]
minver_rs = "x.y.z"

2. (Optional) Update version in Cargo.toml to be 0.0.0. While this is not strictly necessary, it helps to make it apparent that the version is handled automatically by minver.
3. Add a file called build.rs to your project root.

use minver_rs::build_utils;

fn main() {
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed=build.rs");
    build_utils::default_build_action();
}

4. Set the environment variable MINVER_UPDATE_VERSION

> export MINVER_UPDATE_VERSION=1

5. Build your crate

> cargo build
