(This demo uses Ratatui as an example!)

Usage

Usage: cargo selector [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -i, --inline                   Display list inline
  -n, --inline-list-size <SIZE>  List size [default: 10]
  -k, --kind <NAME>              Target kind [possible values: bin, example]
  -t, --match-type <TYPE>        Match type [possible values: substring, fuzzy]
  -h, --help                     Print help
  -V, --version                  Print version

Run the command in the cargo project directory:

$ cargo selector

Then, target list will be displayed, and you can execute the following command by selecting it.

# if the target is bin
$ cargo run --bin xyz [--features "foo bar"]

# if the target is example
$ cargo run --example xyz [--features "foo bar"]

By switching the action, you can also run only the build.

Config

If the CARGO_SELECTOR_CONFIG environment variable specifies the path to the config file, the config will be loaded.

The config file uses the following format:

# Sets the default match type. If argument `-t` or `--match-type` is specified, it will be overridden.
# type: enum ("substring" | "fuzzy")
match_type = "substring"

# Sets the display colors.
# Colors can be set in one of the following formats:
# - ANSI color name
#   - "red", "bright-blue"
# - 8-bit color (256-color) index values
#   - "34", "128", "255"
# - 24-bit true color hex codes
#   - "#abcdef"
# type: string
