cmake-file-api-rs
Library for interacting with the cmake-file-api
- Writing queries
- Reading replies
Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE.
Usage
Run cargo add cmake-file-api
to add the crate to your project.
Example
Build query and parse cmake-file-api:
use cmake_file_api::{objects, query, reply};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let source_dir = std::path::Path::new("path/to/source/dir");
let build_dir = std::path::Path::new("path/to/build/dir");
// write query for codemodel-v2
query::Writer::default()
.request_object::<objects::CodeModelV2>()
.write_stateless(build_dir)?;
// run cmake
assert!(std::process::Command::new("cmake")
.arg("-S")
.arg(source_dir)
.arg("-B")
.arg(build_dir)
.status()?
.success());
// parse cmake-file-api
let reader = reply::Reader::from_build_dir(build_dir)?;
// read and print codemodel-v2
let codemodel: objects::CodeModelV2 = reader.read_object()?;
codemodel.configurations.iter().for_each(|config| {
config.targets.iter().for_each(|target| {
println!("{}", target.name);
println!("{:#?}", target.sources);
});
});

CMake-file-api
The cmake-file-api
is the predecessor of the cmaker-server
and was introduced in CMake
3.14. It provides a rich interface for querying configuration and project information.
The API is versioned, and the current version is v1. As the name suggests, the API is based on files, which are written to disk by CMake
and read by client tools. CMake
generates these files in a directory named .cmake/api/v1
in the build directory.
The V1 API is a collection of JSON files that describe the configuration of the CMake
project, and it always contains an index-*.json
file which lists all available objects.
The objects are also versioned on their own, e.g. codemodel-v2.json
. CMake
will generate the files on demand,
and expects clients to first write queries inside .cmake/api/v1/query
before configuration.
The query describes which objects the client is interested in. With stateful queries, the client can also provide additional client data which is available in the reply.
The API is commonly used insides IDE's but can also be used for other tooling purposes like invoking tools which need compile flags.
