hdk-rust is a library for Rust-based hApps that makes it easier to develop Holochain Zomes. With Holochain, Zome functions and validation code are represented as WASM binaries. This library provides bindings for Rust.
First, Rust must be installed on your computer.
Being a Rust library, hdk-rust can be added as a dependency to any Rust crate. When you generate Rust based Zomes with hc it will automatically be added as a dependency, and imported into your code.
To see the documentation for usage, check out https://holochain.github.io/rust-api/0.0.1/hdk
As new features, or changes to the HDK (and the API) are being designed, use cases will be added to an example app and put as changes to a pull request to the app_spec directory of this repo. The example app also integrates the feature set available in Holochain's main branch.
Please see the Contribute section for our protocol on how we do this.
Holochain is an open source project. We welcome all sorts of participation and are actively working on increasing surface area to accept it. Please see our contributing guidelines for our general practices and protocols on participating in the community.
