Bridge CLI

The bridge CLI is the detailed companion for your BridgeRust development. It automates compilation, testing, publishing, and project management.

Installation

# Install from crates.io
cargo install bridge

Once installed, the command is available as bridge.

Commands

init

Initialize a new BridgeRust project from scratch.

bridge init my-project

• —yes: Skip interactive prompts and use defaults.

integrate

Integrate BridgeRust into an existing Rust project. This modifies your Cargo.toml to add necessary dependencies and features.

cd my-existing-rust-crate
bridge integrate

• —example: Adds a “hello world” example to your src/lib.rs.

build

Builds your project for both Python and Node.js.

bridge build --target all --release

• —target: python, nodejs, or all (default).
• —release: Build in release mode (optimized).

test

Runs tests for the specific bindings.

bridge test --target python

clean

Cleans build artifacts.

bridge clean --target all

• —cache: Also clean the build cache (generic Rust/Cargo cache).

workflows

bridge workflows

This creates standard workflows in .github/workflows/ for:

• Testing pull requests.
• Publishing releases to PyPI and NPM.
