What is ``npm install ../my-another-package'' in Rust's Cargo?

Question

In my Cargo.toml, I defined [dependencies] like:

[dependencies]
my-another-package = "0.0.1"

But I don't want to put my_another_package on GitHub because it is proprietary. I want to install it from my local disk. Using NPM, I would do something like npm install ../my-another-package.

Answer 1

You want what Cargo calls a "path dependency":

[dependencies.my-another-package]
path = "path/to/my-another-package"
