## About This is a minimal template for Rust development on the nightly channel. ## Initialization See the parent README for further instructions, but you can initialize this template with the following command in your current directory. ```bash nix flake init -t github:MordragT/nix-templates#rust-nightly ``` ## Usage - `nix develop`: opens up a `bash` shell with the bare minimum Rust toolset (`cargo` & `rustc`) by default - `nix build` : builds the Rust project. Outputs the binary to `./result/bin/` - `nix run`: runs the Rust program. ## Reference 1. [wiki/Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) 2. [Fenix](https://github.com/nix-community/fenix) - used for managing Rust toolchains (read the `makeRustPlatform` example) 3. [rust-section of language frameworks](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-frameworks/rust.section.md#cargo-features-cargo-features) - optional (use it for extending the template)
