* Description
This layer supports [[https://www.rust-lang.org][Rust]] development in Spacemacs.
** Features:
- Auto-completion and navigation support through [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode][lsp-mode]] or [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer][Racer]]
- Interactive debugger using [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode][dap-mode]]
- support for the Rust package manager [[http://doc.crates.io/index.html][Cargo]]
* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =rust= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
** Choosing a backend
To choose a default backend set the layer variable =rust-backend=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(rust :variables rust-backend 'racer)
#+END_SRC
Alternatively the =lsp= backend will be automatically chosen if the layer =lsp=
is used and you did not specify any value for =rust-backend=.
Backend can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=lsp= backend:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
((rust-mode (rust-backend . lsp)))
#+END_SRC
*Note:* you can easily add a directory local variable with ~SPC f v d~.
*** Racer
You must install [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer][Racer]] to use this backend. Make sure the =racer= binary is available in
your =PATH= and to set the environment variable =RUST_SRC_PATH=, as described in
the [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer#installation][installation instructions]].
To enable auto-completion, ensure that the =auto-completion= layer is enabled.
*** LSP
You must add =lsp= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= in your =~/.spacemacs=.
Consult the installation command for the desired language server found at [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode][lsp-mode]] for instructions.
The default LSP server for Rust is [[https://github.com/rust-lang/rls][rls]], i.e. rust language server.
To choose the experimental [[https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer][rust-analyzer]], you need to set the layer variable =lsp-rust-server= of =lsp= layer:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(lsp :variables lsp-rust-server 'rust-analyzer)
#+END_SRC
**** Switch to another LSP server
If both =rls= and =rust-analyzer= server are installed, you can press ~SPC m s s~ to select
another LSP server backend, and press ~SPC m b r~ to restart the LSP server to finish the switching.
**** Autocompletion
To enable auto-completion, ensure that the =auto-completion= layer is enabled.
By default, currently [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer][Racer]] is the only code completion backend of [[https://github.com/rust-lang/rls][rls]], so you also need to install it.
**** Debugger (dap integration)
To install the debug adapter you may run =M-x dap-gdb-lldb-setup= when you are on Linux or download it manually from [[https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak.debug][Native Debug]] and adjust =dap-gdb-lldb-path=.
** Cargo
[[http://doc.crates.io/index.html][Cargo]] is a project management command line tool for Rust. Installation
instructions can be found on the main page of [[http://doc.crates.io/index.html][Cargo]].
*** cargo-edit
[[https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit][cargo-edit]] allows you to add, remove, and upgrade dependencies by modifying your =Cargo.toml` file.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
cargo install cargo-edit
#+END_SRC
*** cargo-audit
[[https://github.com/RustSec/cargo-audit][cargo-audit]] audits =Cargo.lock= files for crates with security vulnerabilities.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
cargo install cargo-audit
#+END_SRC
** Rustfmt
Format Rust code according to style guidelines using [[https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt][rustfmt]].
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
rustup component add rustfmt
#+END_SRC
To enable automatic buffer formatting on save, set the variable =rust-format-on-save= to =t=.
** Clippy
[[https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy][Clippy]] provides a collection of lints to to catch common mistakes and improve your code.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
rustup component add clippy
#+END_SRC

Using the =dap= layer you'll get access to all the DAP key bindings, see the
complete list of key bindings on the [[https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/develop/layers/%2Btools/dap#key-bindings][dap layer description]].
