Centralize configuration settings like dependency versions and feature flags at the workspace level rather than duplicating them across individual crate files. This reduces maintenance overhead, prevents inconsistencies, and simplifies dependency management.
Centralize configuration settings like dependency versions and feature flags at the workspace level rather than duplicating them across individual crate files. This reduces maintenance overhead, prevents inconsistencies, and simplifies dependency management.
In a Rust workspace:
Cargo.toml
workspace = true
propertyExample:
# Root Cargo.toml
[workspace.dependencies]
schema = { version = "1.0.0", features = ["v3"] }
# Individual crate's Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
schema = { workspace = true } # Inherits version and features automatically
This approach prevents situations where developers need to update the same dependency in multiple places or encounter unexpected behavior due to mismatched feature flags.
