Learning Rust by creating a terminal clock - Part 2

In the last post I had just added the progress bar for the month. I also noted that the code is in desperate need of a clean up but I haven't got there yet. I'm having too much fun adding new features and learning things. Although I will have to get there eventually.

Adding a CI pipeline

Since that last post one of the main things I accomplished was to add a CI pipeline to the project using Travis CI. This is something I've done before in my various PHP projects but not with Rust. It had also been a while since I used Travis CI but it's so simple to use it didn't take long to figure it out again.

Basically I just needed to enable my GitHub repository in Travis CI and commit a .travis.yml file which I've done here:

https://github.com/bmitch/relogio/blob/master/.travis.yml

With that configuration, Travis CI will run the following commands in the pipeline:

  - cargo build --verbose --all
  - cargo test --verbose --all

Power of open source

I also had someone contribute to the project which was great. Shout out to

Noah Trupin

V and Swift.

for the help. They made several contributions since my last post which are much appreciated.

Year Progress

Finally, I added one more progress bar for the year countdown. I think this will probably be the last progress bar. I'm not sure if I'll add the century countdown progress bar or not.

Next

• I really need to do some code cleanup.
• I want to research other possible tools to use in the CI pipeline (linters, code sniffers, code quality etc...)
• Prototype some UI design ideas.
• Add some more issues for other possible features.

As always any and all feedback is appreciated!
