A template to create Rust-based Pure Data externals

Overview

Generate a Rust-based external for Pure Data

This is a cargo generate template to create a Pure Data external written entirely in Rust.

It uses puredata-rust.

Usage:

You need to have cargo-generate and cargo-make installed to run these commands.

Install them using cargo before procedeeding:

cargo install cargo-generate
cargo install cargo-make

Generating a new project

cargo generate madskjeldgaard/puredata-rust-template
cd <project-name>

Building

Please note: All build commands use the debug profile by default. For DSP, this is EXTREMELY slow. Therefore, make sure to use the release profile correctly when you need to have an optimized version of your external.

For debug builds:

cargo make build

cargo make --profile release build

Running the external in PureData

At the root of the project is a .pd file you can open to test the external.

Run it using cargo make:

cargo make run

If you want to run the release version:

cargo make --profile release run

Install the external

If you have plugdata installed (on MacOS), this will install the external to the plugdata externals folder, otherwise the Pd-externals folder in your home directory. On Linux it will simply copy it to ~/pd-externals

cargo make --profile release install

Making a Deken package

The make file also includes a task to create a Deken package to be used in the Pure Data externals database.

cargo make --profile release package

Upload to Deken

cargo make --profile release upload

Comments

Add deken and pure-data-rust as git submodules in post-hook

Hooks are described here: https://cargo-generate.github.io/cargo-generate/templates/scripting.html

After running cargo generate, the template should initalise git in the new project, add both deken and pure-data-rust as submodules.

We should then remove those two submodules from the main template here.

Add options to generate other kinds of plugins
It would be nice if the template gave the user the option of creating one of a few different kinds of plugins:

Audio (tilde)

Control rate
