setup-crate

This GitHub Action will install a release of a Rust crate for you.

Introduction

This action will work for any project that satisfies the following conditions:

The project is a public GitHub project.
The project uses GitHub releases with semver tag names.

The project attaches assets to the GitHub release that contain a Rust target. The following targets are looked for:

Arch	Node Platform	Targets
`x64`	`linux`	`x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` or `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
`x64`	`darwin`	`x86_64-apple-darwin`
`x64`	`win32`	`x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`
`arm64`	`linux`	`aarch64-unknown-linux-musl` or `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`
`arm64`	`darwin`	`aarch64-apple-darwin`

The asset is a .tar.gz or .zip archive that contains a binary with the project name.

Usage

Examples

In most cases all you will need is to specify repo and the owner/name of the project in your workflow. For example the following installs the latest version of mdBook.

- uses: extractions/setup-crate@v1
  with:
    repo: rust-lang/mdBook

If you want a specific version you can specify this by suffixing version to the input. For example the following installs the latest 0.10.x version of just.

- uses: extractions/setup-crate@v1
  with:
    repo: casey/just@0.10

Inputs

Name	Required	Description	Type	Default
`repo`	no	The GitHub repository name and valid NPM-style semver specification	string
`github-token`	no	The GitHub token for making API requests	string	${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

The semver specification is passed directly to NPM's semver package. This GitHub Action will install the latest matching release. Examples include

version: '*' latest version (default).
version: '0.1' equivalent to >=0.1.0 <0.2.0.
version: '0.1.x' equivalent to >=0.1.0 <0.2.0.
version: '0.1.0' equivalent to =0.1.0.
version: '^0.1.0' equivalent to >=0.1.0 <0.2.0.

The following inputs are still supported for now but will be removed in a future release.
