Finding Crates

A new experience of search to find your favorite crates 🎉

Search by crate name or by keywords.

The search is powered by MeiliSearch, the open-source and instant search engine.

How to run the data collector

Set the following envrionment variables:

• MEILI_HOST_URL
• MEILI_API_KEY
• MEILI_INDEX_UID (it should set to crates to be used with the front of this repo)

$ rm -rf crates.io-index/
$ ./run.sh

Details

The front is deployed to GitHub Pages.

We pull new crates and crates updates every 10 minutes from docs.rs and all the downloads counts every day at 3:30 PM UTC from crates.io.
