# Rust Playground for MacOS

***status***: experimental / pre-release / guaranteed buggy

The Rust Playground for MacOS is a standalone native mac application that allows quickly editing and testing rust snippets.

## installation

You can download a disk image of a recent build on [the releases page](https://github.com/cmyr/RustPlayground/releases).

### requirements

The playground [requires rustup](https://rustup.rs), and allows code to be run with any installed toolchain.

**note**: Rustup must currently be in the default directory, `$HOME/.rustup`.

### install from source (requires Xcode)

- clone this repository

- cd in to the `RustPlayground` directory

- run `xcodebuild` from the command line

- copy `build/Release/Rust Playground.app` to your `Applications` directory

## About

This project is based on a fork of the [xi-editor core](https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor). It is intended largely as an experimental offshoot of xi; a narrowly scoped editor frontend that can be used to experiment with various design decisions.

Document state is handled in rust; the swift frontend interfaces with the rust code via FFI.

### Features

- syntax highlighting

- font selection

- auto-indent

- comment toggling

- line breaking

- extern crates (with a hacky custom syntax for declaring imports)

- use any installed toolchains

### Known issues

- Performance is not great; it is expected that documents are only ever a few hundred lines.

- Drawing is hacky. We may draw ghost selections.

### TODO

- ~export to gist / web playground~

- export to new cargo project?

- rustfmt / clippy

- multiple documents, saving snippets?

- ASM / IR output

### One day, maybe

- integrate with [cargo-instruments](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-instruments)

- benchmarking

- inline compiler warnings

- autocomplete

- RLS support

- [Rust Analyzer](https://www.github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer) support

## Thanks

to the [xi-editor contributors](https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor/blob/master/AUTHORS), to [Jake Goulding](https://github.com/shepmaster/) for the excellent [play.rust-lang.org](https://play.rust-lang.org) implementation, and to the Rust community at large.
