CratesX: Simplify Dependency Management in Rust & VSCode

This project has been forked from crates since August of 2024, but a lot has changed; For more details, see Changelog.

Features

CratesX offers a range of powerful features to streamline your Rust development workflow:

Version Information: CratesX provides comprehensive version information to keep you informed about the crates in your project. This includes a tooltip with detailed version details and inline visual feedback for quick reference and decision-making.
Shortcut Commands: Update all dependencies with just one command for a seamless workflow.
Crev Integration: Access valuable code reviews and community collaboration through the integration with Crev. Get feedback and make informed decisions about the crates you depend on.
Doc.rs Integration: Explore comprehensive documentation for Rust, including crates, libraries, and more, with the seamless integration of Doc.rs. Gain in-depth knowledge and insights to enhance your coding experience.

Using Crates is incredibly simple. Just install the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace, and you're ready to go!

While Crates works out-of-the-box without any configuration, we also offer a few customizable options:

cratesx.listPreReleases: Enable this option to list pre-release versions in hover and decorations. By default, it is set to false.
cratesx.indexServerURL: Specify a custom URL for the crates.io index server. The default value connects to the official index.
cratesx.errorDecorator: Customize the text displayed when a dependency has errors. The default is ❗️❗️❗.
cratesx.compatibleDecorator: Define the text template to show when a dependency is semver compatible. ${version} will be replaced by the latest version info. The default is ✅.
cratesx.incompatibleDecorator: Set the text template to show when a dependency is not semver compatible. ${version} will be replaced by the latest version info. The default is ❌ ${version}.
