Rust Tutorial #2 - Using Rust Tools (cargo, rustfmt)

Welcome to video two in this Rust Programming series! In this video I am going to be showing you some Rust Command Line tools, specifically cargo and also rustfmt. Cargo is actually the recommended tool for building, running, and creating our rust projects. Both of these tools are very helpful, especially as your projects get larger. I hope that you enjoy and learn something new!

You could do "cargo fmt" to let cargo invoke rustfmt by itself and without needing to go to src dir.

cargo b == cargo build
cargo t == cargo test
cargo r == cargo run (build and execute)

The quality of your videos is always mind blowing! So easy to follow - excited to see more.

There's no `ls` command in Windows (cmd), you have it probably because when you installed Git you checked the box that adds linux utilities to PATH.
Windows people following this might be confused, the command is `dir`

I love how it goes from tutorial2 to tutorial1. I have the exact same problem!!! :D

Dang...this series started at just the right time for me! I was just wondering about learning Rust, particularly in sublime. Thanks man!

Wait- You're making a Rust tutorial series? That's cool!

[anthonyacosta]

Thank u for these free tutorials, really appreciate it

I like the idea of a tutorial that teaches the things you need to know about rust as we encounter it, but I think it might be more useful to get to the meat of the matter, like the philosophy of rust, sooner

You do need to put semicolons at the end of expressions, however, if the expression is the last expression in a function, you don't have to put a semicolon there, because it indicates that the value returned by that expression should also be returned by the function. So, for example, the println! macro does not return anything and the main function also does not return anything, therefore there does not have to be a semicolon after the println!. Other than that, great video :))

Hi! I used some hacking to get access to this video haha! Thanks for the great series!

[hachikoi-san]

about rustfmt, there's an extencion in VSCode rust-analizer, does the trick whit the default format, I have format on save and does it once I have the extension installed

[pravachanpatra]

Tim is it possible to collaborate with Tiff in Tech?

[blacklight]

VS Code shortcut for rustfmt, no setup required - Shift + ALT + F

[abubakaramjad]

If someone is Using Vs And cant Use the (Cargo Build) Command, Then you have to install Desktop development with C++
(Same for Visual Studio Code).👍👍

[inderjotsingh]

in vs code the code automaticallly formats itself upon saving if you have Rust_analyser extension installed

Hey tim, what do you recommend as a secondary language with Rust?

[peterhuyghe]

@tim Why are you telling people to use ls command on windows ?

[Absolotle]

What is the purpose of .\ ? Can you eventually run it like any normal program, by writing just the .exe file or double clicking the exe file?
