I'm writing a build script that parses an XML file and generates a pair of Rust modules containing various struct
and enum
declarations that allow the "parent" app to consume an XML feed at runtime.
However, the generated code has its own set of runtime dependencies on crates such as quick-xml
and rust_decimal
that the "parent" app must list in its Cargo.toml
file.
These dependencies can of course be added manually, but can Cargo be configured to include what amounts to a set of dynamic dependencies automatically?
Thanks
So, this can't be done automatically; however, by adding extern crate ...
dependencies at the start of the generated modules, rustc
will be able to generate explicit error messages telling which crates are needed in your Cargo.toml
file
