Crates

Active contributors: Douwe de Vries

Purpose

This section maps the Rust workspace members defined in Cargo.toml. Use it to decide whether a change belongs in the reusable core engine, the CLI smoke harness, or the Tauri desktop shell.

Directory layout

Workspace member	Page	Purpose
crates/csv-anonymizer-core	csv-anonymizer-core	Detection, CSV IO, direct input, transformations, Smart replacement traits, and privacy reports.
crates/csv-anonymizer-app	csv-anonymizer-app	Lightweight CLI harness and smoke path over the shared core.
src-tauri	csv-anonymizer-tauri	Tauri Rust workspace member that exposes desktop commands and managed state.

Key abstractions

• csv-anonymizer-core is the reusable library that owns the domain model and transformation behavior.
• csv-anonymizer-app is a binary crate that calls the core for command-line analysis, anonymization, and smoke checks.
• csv-anonymizer-tauri is the Tauri binary crate that adapts frontend commands to core calls and desktop services.
• Workspace package metadata, including version, edition, license, authors, and repository, is centralized in Cargo.toml.
• Shared dependency versions are centralized under [workspace.dependencies].

How it works

graph LR
    App[csv-anonymizer-app] --> Core[csv-anonymizer-core]

    Core --> Reports[privacy reports]

Loading

The core crate is dependency-free from the app and Tauri crates. The CLI and Tauri crates depend on the core through path dependencies, so behavior shared by desktop workflows, direct-input workflows, and smoke checks should live in core first.

Integration points

• Systems explains the runtime systems that use these crates.
• Primitives explains shared domain objects such as Column metadata, Transform strategy, Privacy report, and Smart replacement map.
• frontend/src/types.ts mirrors DTOs exported by crates/csv-anonymizer-core/src/types.rs.
• package.json scripts run workspace checks through cargo check --workspace, cargo test --workspace, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets, and cargo fmt --all --check.
