Package Info
Package Info offers access to Cargo manifest information from within your Rust code.
Actually, Cargo offers that by exposing it via environment variables.
However, if you are running your application from binary (as opposed to via cargo run
),
those environment variables are no longer present.
Package Info works around this issue by capturing the environment variable values during
compile and embedding them in your code via the derived trait PackageInfo
. You must add both
package_info
and package_info_derive
as dependencies to your project.
Usage
use package_info::PackageInfo; // the trait
use package_info_derive::PackageInfo; // the derive macro
#[derive(PackageInfo)]
struct CargoPackageInfo {}
fn main() {
println!("{}", CargoPackageInfo::name().unwrap());
}
The PackageInfo
trait provides the following functions, all of which return a Option<String>
:
/// Accessor functions to common Cargo package information as specified in Cargo.toml
pub trait PackageInfo {
/// Colon separated list of authors from the manifest of the package
fn authors() -> Option<String>;
/// The description from the manifest of the package
fn description() -> Option<String>;
/// The home page from the manifest of the package
fn homepage() -> Option<String>;
/// The license from the manifest of the package
fn license() -> Option<String>;
/// The license file from the manifest of the package
fn license_file() -> Option<String>;
/// The name of the package
fn name() -> Option<String>;
/// The repository from the manifest of the package
fn repository() -> Option<String>;
/// The full version of the package
fn version() -> Option<String>;
/// The major version of the package
fn version_major() -> Option<String>;
/// The minor version of the package
fn version_minor() -> Option<String>;
/// The patch version of the package
fn version_patch() -> Option<String>;
/// The pre-release version of the package
fn version_pre() -> Option<String>;
}
