Racer - code completion for Rust

RACER = Rust Auto-Complete-er. A utility intended to provide Rust code completion for editors and IDEs. Maybe one day the 'er' bit will be exploring + refactoring or something.

Installation

With cargo install

This method requires Rust 1.5. Simply run:

cargo install racer

As mentioned in the command output, don't forget to add the installation directory to your PATH.

From sources

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/phildawes/racer.git

2. cd racer; cargo build --release. The binary will now be in ./target/release/racer

3. Fetch the Rust sourcecode from git, or download from https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html (the 'rustc' source download behind the 'source' link is the right one)

4. Set the RUST_SRC_PATH environment variable to point to the 'src' dir in the Rust source installation

   (e.g. % export RUST_SRC_PATH=/usr/local/src/rust/src )

5. Test on the command line:

   ./target/release/racer complete std::io::B (should show some completions)

Kate integration

The Kate community maintains a plugin. It will be bundled with future releases of Kate (read more here).

1. Enable 'Rust code completion' in the plugin list in the Kate config dialog

2. On the new 'Rust code completion' dialog page, make sure 'Racer command' and 'Rust source tree location' are set correctly

Sublime Text integration
