cargo eval

A cargo plugin to quickly evaluate some Rust source code.

Installation

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/timClicks/cargo-eval.git

Usage

Provide Rust code to be compiled and executed after --:

$ cargo eval -- 1 + 1
> 1 + 1
2

Dependencies can be specified with the -d (--dep) arguments:

$ cargo eval -d fastrand -- 'if fastrand::bool() {
    123 
} else {
    456
}'
> if fastrand::bool() {
    123 
} else {
    456
}
456

Add the -v/--verbose flag to inspect the files from the intermediate crate that is created behind-the-scenes:

$ cargo eval -v -d fastrand -- 'if fastrand::bool() {
    123 
} else {
    456
}'
