ta-rust

A Rust module and lexer for Textadept.

DESCRIPTION

A module/lexer for Rust.

Currently, this module holds all keywords, types, and any other standard lexer definitions described by the Rust reference manual. It also encompasses the vast list of snippets I use when coding, ctags for semi auto-complete on user projects, api references with both self engineered endeavor and racer integration, and simple lint support with rustfmt.

Completed:

• lexer: All keywords, primitive types, lifetime, library types, syntax extensions, strings, and numbers lexer definitions.
• module: *.rs, a humble list of snippets, and API reference to all std crates.
• build: using cargo to make a build of a project.
• lint: Basic lint support using rustfmt ftw!
• autocomplete: A custom autocomplete AND racer support!

To Do:

• unit test: somehow get unit test integrated better.
• rustdoc: Make some rustdoc integration as well, while we at it.
• user definitions: Get Racer to also do user definition reference lookup.
• Make this module the damn bloody best way to code in Rust.

REQUIREMENT

• Rust >= v1.20.0 (rev: f3d6973f)
• Textadept >= v9.0
• (optional) racer
• (optional) textadept ctags
• (optional) rustfmt

INSTALL

Clone the repository to your ~/.textadept/modules directory:

cd ~/.textadept/modules
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/a_baez/ta-rust \
  rust

You are done! If you want to use the latest in development version of the lexer (follows the rust nightlies), then continue along.
