📥 Installation

Using lazy.nvim

{
  "nwiizo/cargo.nvim",
  build = "cargo build --release",
  config = function()
    require("cargo").setup({
      float_window = true,
      window_width = 0.8,
      window_height = 0.8,
      border = "rounded",
      auto_close = true,
      close_timeout = 5000,
    })
  end,
  ft = { "rust" },
  cmd = {
    "CargoBench",
    "CargoBuild", 
    "CargoClean",
    "CargoDoc",
    "CargoNew",
    "CargoRun",
    "CargoTest",
    "CargoUpdate"
  }
}

Using packer.nvim

use {
  "nwiizo/cargo.nvim",
  run = "cargo build --release",
  config = function()
    require("cargo").setup({
      float_window = true,
      window_width = 0.8,
      window_height = 0.8,
      border = "rounded",
      auto_close = true,
      close_timeout = 5000,
    })
  end,
}

📋 Requirements

• 💻 Neovim >= 0.9.0
• 🦀 Rust and Cargo installed on your system
• 📚 Additional dependencies:
  • Ubuntu/Debian: libluajit-5.1-dev (Install with sudo apt install libluajit-5.1-dev)
  • For other Linux distributions, you may need to install an equivalent LuaJIT development package

If you encounter build errors mentioning lluajit-5.1 during installation, you likely need to install the LuaJIT development package for your system.

🛠️ Available Commands

• 📊 :CargoBench - Run benchmarks
• 🏗️ :CargoBuild - Build the project
• 🧹 :CargoClean - Remove generated artifacts
• 📚 :CargoDoc - Generate project documentation
• ✨ :CargoNew - Create a new Cargo project

⚙️ Configuration

You can customize cargo.nvim by passing options to the setup function:

require("cargo").setup({
  -- Window settings
  float_window = true,          -- Use floating window
  window_width = 0.8,           -- Window width (80% of editor width)
  window_height = 0.8,          -- Window height (80% of editor height)
  border = "rounded",           -- Border style ("none", "single", "double", "rounded")
  
  -- Auto-close settings
  auto_close = true,            -- Auto close window on success
  close_timeout = 5000,         -- Close window after 5000ms
  
  -- Command settings 
  commands = {
    bench = { nargs = "*" },    -- Command arguments configuration
    build = { nargs = "*" },
    clean = { nargs = "*" },
    doc = { nargs = "*" },
    new = { nargs = 1 },
    run = { nargs = "*" },
    test = { nargs = "*" },
    update = { nargs = "*" },
  }
})

⌨️ Key Mappings

In the floating window:

• q or <Esc> - Close the window
• <C-c> - Cancel the running command and close the window
