This repository contains a demo Rust environment for working on a crate that compiles against libcurl. The repo both builds the crate and provides a development shell.

The build environment handles the following details for you:

• Provides rustc and cargo from the latest Rust release
• Provides a libcurl to link against so that the crate doesn't need to compile it from source
• Handles macOS-specific build dependencies

The development shell is set up to provide a full Rust development environment including third-party tools. It provides the following features:

• rust-analyzer, clippy, and rustfmt so that you can integrate them with your IDE for code intelligence and automatic formatting
• RUST_SRC_PATH environment variable set so that rust-analyzer works properly
• just and a Justfile for running project-specific commands
• cargo-watch so that you can run commands automatically on every change to your source code
• cargo-semver-checks so that you can automatically detect semver-breaking changes
• cargo-flamegraph so that you can profile the execution of your crate

All of these features are automatically set up for every developer who has flox installed on their machine. A new developer simply needs to clone the repo and flox develop to be dropped into a complete development environment. Spending a week getting your development environment set up is a thing of the past.
