About:
cargo-docset is a Cargo subcommand that automatically generates Dash and Zeal compatible docsets for local Rust crates. It parses your crate's documentation and bundles it into a format that integrates with popular documentation browser tools. This provides offline access to your project's API reference with fast search capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Generates Dash/Zeal docsets from Rust crate documentation
  • Integrates seamlessly as a Cargo subcommand
  • Supports both local and published crates
  • Provides offline documentation access
  • Fast indexing and search capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Developing Rust projects with offline documentation access
  • Creating docsets for private/internal crates not published to docs.rs
  • Integrating with Dash/Zeal for unified documentation browsing
  • CI/CD pipelines for generating documentation artifacts
Alternatives:
  • rustup doc – Provides offline stdlib docs but doesn't generate docsets or support custom crates
  • zeal-docset-generator – More general purpose docset generator, not specifically integrated with Cargo workflow
