lmake_cargo_toml_to_md

🔴OBSOLETE, 🔴DEPRECATED, 🔴DEFUNCT!
It was replaced by the crate cargo-auto



Includes Cargo.toml data into md.
repo; version: 2020.1209.1044 date: 2020-12-09 authors: Luciano Bestia

Includes data from cargo.toml to md files.
To avoid out of sync data like version, authors and description.
The lmake_cargo_toml_to_md binary must be executed in the project root folder where is the cargo.toml file.
It works only for single projects and not for workspaces.

include cargo.toml data into md file

In the md file write these markers:

1 [comment]: # (lmake_cargo_toml_to_md start)
2 [comment]: # (lmake_cargo_toml_to_md end)

lmake_cargo_toml_to_md deletes the old lines between the markers
and includes the date and the cargo.toml data:
version, authors, repository and description.

Tasks in Makefile.toml

I use cargo make to script the repetitive commands sequences.
https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make
In Makefile.toml add a task like this:

[tasks.doc]
description = "create docs from doc comments"
clear = true
script = [
    "lmake_cargo_toml_to_md",
    "lmake_md_to_doc_comments",
    "cargo doc --no-deps --document-private-items",
    "\\rsync -avz --delete-after target/doc/*  docs/",
]

install

Install from crates.io:
cargo install lmake_cargo_toml_to_md
Then you can use it in every rust project folder.
No arguments needed to execute the util.
