# A GUI for Cargo



[![Build Status](https://github.com/slint-ui/cargo-ui/workflows/Rust/badge.svg)](https://github.com/slint-ui/cargo-ui/actions)

[![dependency status](https://deps.rs/repo/github/slint-ui/cargo-ui/status.svg)](https://deps.rs/repo/github/slint-ui/cargo-ui)



This is a project to make a GUI for cargo, built using [Slint](https://github.com/slint-ui/slint):

## Installation



Cargo UI can be installed from crates.io:



```sh

cargo install cargo-ui

```



Alternatively, you can download one of our pre-built binaries for Linux or Windows:



1. Open 

2. Click on the latest release

3. From "Assets" download either `cargo-ui-linux.tar.gz` for a Linux x86-64 binary

   or `cargo-ui-windows.zip` for a Windows x86-64 binary.

4. Uncompress the downloaded archive and run `cargo-ui`/`cargo-ui.exe` or place the

   uncompressed directory into your `PATH`.



## Usage



```sh

cargo ui

```



## Prerequisites



In addition to a working cargo and Rust installation, a few other tools or libraries are needed:



Linux:



 * fontconfig library (`libfontconfig-dev` on debian based distributions)

 * xcb library (`libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxkbcommon-dev` on debian based distributions)



Windows:



 * A working C compiler (such as MSVC)



macOS:

 *  "Xcode Command Line Tools" need to be installed: `xcode-select --install`



**For the native style**:  (optional)

 * The native style requires Qt >= 5.15, see .

   If Qt is not present while building, the *fluent* style will be used as a fallback.



## Vision



Some ideas for features:



 - [x] Choose the binary to run or the lib to build or the test to run

 - [x] Display the errors in a nice way

 - [x] Select the debug or release mode

 - [ ] Select the toolchain (nightly, stable, ...)

 - [ ] Maybe integrate with rustup to update the toolchain or install new one

 - [x] See the dependencies as an expendable tree

 - [ ] Show duplicated dependencies

 - [x] Show outdated dependencies, with button to easily update

 - [x] Ability to easily add dependency (by searching the crates.io index)

 - [ ] Edit features of dependencies from a list.

 - [ ] Show asm, llvm-ir, ...

 - [ ] Show build progress and be able to cancel the build

 - [ ] Edit other metadata of the the Cargo.toml (edition, author, ...)

 - [ ] Manage workspaces and do batch edit of the metadata on all members

 - [ ] Have a "playground" tab which allow to easily try rust code

 - [ ] A publish tab which publishes all the crates in the workspace in the right order

 - [ ] Double-click on a `Cargo.toml` file would also run cargo-ui.

 - [ ] ...
