Example

To add a new dependency as a dylib to the current project run for example

shell cargo add-dynamic polars --features csv-file,lazy,list,describe,rows,fmt,strings,temporal

polars-dynamic/Cargo.toml

```toml [package] name = "polars-dynamic" version = "0.1.0" edition = "2021"

See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies] polars = { version = "0.23.2", features = ["csv-file", "lazy", "list", "describe", "rows", "fmt", "strings", "temporal"] }

[lib] crate-type = ["dylib"] ```

polars-dynamic/src/lib.rs

rust pub use polars::*;

And it will add polars = { version = "0.1.0", path = "polars-dynamic", package = "polars-dynamic" } to the dependencies of the current package.
