Workspaces

The Corvis CLI does not have a monorepo mode yet: there is no configuration file that groups several applications and no commands to generate or build a specific application inside a repository that has several.

Alternative: a Cargo workspace

In Rust, that role is played by a Cargo workspace, and it is exactly what the Corvis repository itself uses: the framework crates and the examples (examples/tertulia, examples/cats-app, examples/blog-orm) are members of the same workspace.

# Cargo.toml at the root
[workspace]
resolver = "3"
members = ["apps/*", "libs/*"]

[workspace.dependencies]
corvis = { path = "../corvis/crates/corvis" }
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }

# apps/api/Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
corvis = { workspace = true }
serde = { workspace = true }

Each application is created with corvis new inside apps/ and run with Cargo from the root:

cargo run -p api
cargo test --workspace

The corvis generate commands work inside each application: run them from its folder (the CLI searches upward for the first Cargo.toml with src/). To share code between applications, see Libraries.
