# Ecargo

Cargo metadata viewer using egui.

Every time you add a dependency, Cargo dumps a huge amount of data into your home directory.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to utilize this data to get a better overview of your

dependencies? This is what Ecargo sets out to accomplish.

## Features

### Filterable package list

Lists all the packages related to your crate. The filter searches the package name, description,

and keywords.

### Clickable links

All the relevant links, without needing to hop between websites to get the links you want.

### Dependency info

Get a good idea for how a package fits into your dependency chain, including:

- List of dependencies for each package

- What features are enabled?

- Which packages depend on this package?

### Glorious crates.io theme

What more do you need?

Don't worry, you can also use the vanilla dark and light egui themes.

## Installation

`cargo install ecargo`

There are no pre-built artifacts at the moment, but that may change.

## Usage

Ecargo requires a path to a cargo project to work with, so you need to run `ecargo` in

one of the following two ways:

1. In the working directory of a cargo project, just run `ecargo`

2. You can give `ecargo` a path to a cargo project: `ecargo /path/to/my/project` 

## Credits

All the heavy lifting is done by the [cargo-metadata](https://github.com/oli-obk/cargo_metadata) and [eframe](https://github.com/emilk/egui) crates (and their dependencies, of course).
