rustrust-cargorustdoc

How do I prevent `rust doc` from adding dependencies to documentation?

I've just started playing with Rust and was trying to generate docs for the code I've written. When I issued cargo doc, I saw something a little weird.

21:53 $ cargo doc
   Compiling regex-syntax v0.2.2
   Compiling libc v0.2.2
   Compiling memchr v0.1.7
   Compiling aho-corasick v0.3.4
   Compiling regex v0.1.41
   Compiling my_project v0.0.1 (path/to/my_project)

When I opened my_project/target/doc/my_project/index.html, I noticed that all of the dependencies were included in my docs:

Those damn crates

I'd like these dependencies' documentations to be hidden from the user so my documentation only shows how to use my code.

How can I do this?

Cargo.lock

[root]
name = "my_project"
version = "0.0.1"
dependencies = [
 "regex 0.1.41 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]

[[package]]
name = "aho-corasick"
version = "0.3.4"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
dependencies = [
 "memchr 0.1.7 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]

[[package]]
name = "libc"
version = "0.2.2"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"

[[package]]
name = "memchr"
version = "0.1.7"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
dependencies = [
 "libc 0.2.2 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]

[[package]]
name = "regex"
version = "0.1.41"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
dependencies = [
 "aho-corasick 0.3.4 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
 "memchr 0.1.7 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
 "regex-syntax 0.2.2 (registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index)",
]

[[package]]
name = "regex-syntax"
version = "0.2.2"
source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
Solution

  • I found the answer: cargo doc --no-deps.
