Using YDBRust in your project

Include YDBRust in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
yottadb = "1.0"

Before building or using a project which depends on YottaDB, you need to

1. Ensure that YottaDB is set up and configured.

   source $(pkg-config --variable=prefix yottadb)/ydb_env_set
   

2. Ensure that rust and cargo are set up and configured.

See examples/ for some examples of how to use the API, or the documentation for a full reference.

Development Setup

Fork the YDBRust repository on Gitlab, clone it to your machine, and then use it for development.

git clone https://gitlab.com/YottaDB/Lang/YDBRust.git

cd YDBRust

source $(pkg-config --variable=prefix yottadb)/ydb_env_set

# install dependencies for bindgen and examples
# NOTE: this does not necessarily need apt, this is just an example
sudo apt update
sudo apt install clang libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev

cargo test
cargo doc --open

You may want to also set up pre-commit hooks:

ln -s ../../pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit

Internal Documentation

YDBRust has internal documentation inline with the code, the same way that user-facing documentation is inline. Where possible, the convention is to put internal documentation on a private constant named INTERNAL_DOCS, which allows viewing the documentation with cargo doc --document-private-items.

In general, info about what YDBRust is doing and why should be user-facing, info about how should be internal.

Developing with Docker

Alternatively, you can use the provided dockerfile:

docker build --tag ydbrust .
docker run --volume "${PWD}":/opt/ydbrust -it ydbrust bash
source $(pkg-config --variable=prefix yottadb)/ydb_env_set
cargo test
cargo doc

The documentation will be available locally at file:///path/to/ydbrust/target/doc/yottadb/index.html.
