How to develop

Thanks to the nix, we can easily develop the project in a reproducible environment. The following steps will guide you through the process.

nix environment

shell interactions

There are several integrated nix commands that can help you develop the project.

• nix develop enter the default development shell
• nix build build the project, the result will be at result/bin/faas-rs
• nix flake check do the CI checks, including formatting, linting...

Besides, you can also use the cargo command to interact with the project in the shell. Nix will automatically manage the toolchain and library dependencies for you.

Note

The project uses cargo-hakari, to optimize the build time.

If you don't know what it is, after new dependencies are added, you should run cargo hakari generate to update the dependencies.
