Rust Toolchain

Concise GitHub Action for installing a Rust toolchain

What is Rust Toolchain?​

Incorporating Rust into our projects requires a reliable and efficient setup for the Rust toolchain. The Install Rust Toolchain GitHub Action simplifies the installation of the Rust environment using rustup. It is optimized for simplicity and effectiveness, ensuring our workflows are streamlined and maintainable.

Configuration Options​

toolchain​

Specifies the Rustup toolchain, such as stable, nightly, 1.42.0, or nightly-2022-01-01. If you pass an explicit toolchain as an input instead of using @rev, you should use "dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master" as the revision of the action.

targets​

A comma-separated string of additional targets to install, e.g., wasm32-unknown-unknown.
