如何从VS Code（而不是通过命令行）创建新的Rust项目？

Question

The Rust Programming Language book explains how to create a project on the command-line . The same section is referred by the explanation of how to Quickstart using the extension of the VS Code for Rust .

How can I create a new Rust project from within VS Code, and not through the command-line?

Answer 1

This extension has cargo new command as their planned feature.

You can write your own extension for simple tasks like this, it's quite easy to write one.(I wrote before) But it's still overkill two create a directory(src) and 2 files (main.rs,cargo.toml).

You can create files/folder manually with new file button and add a snippet for each boilerplate code in the files. Snippets can take parameters, you can give your project name there.

If you are going to use this feature a lot, you can write a global task, that can create and populate those files for you.

In the source control pane, when you click the icon near SOURCE CONTROL title, it will create a .git folder for you, which is also done by cargo new .

If you are looking to specifically create a project with the Rust official extension, it's language server and it doesn't have that functionality.
