COSMIC Application Template

A template for COSMIC applications.

Getting Started

To get started, click the "Use this template" button above. This will create a new repository in your account with the contents of this template.

Once you have created a new repository from this template, you can clone it to your local machine and start developing your COSMIC application.

Development

When you open the repository in your code editor, you will see a lot of comments in the code. These comments are there to help you get a basic understanding of what each part of the code does.

Once you feel comfortable with it, refer back to the COSMIC documentation for more information on how to build COSMIC applications.

Install

To install your COSMIC application, you will need just, if you're on Pop!_OS, you can install it with the following command:

sudo apt install just

After you install it, you can run the following commands to build and install your application:

just build-release
sudo just install

To uninstall simply run

sudo just uninstall

Publish

To create a .deb package you'll need to install cargo-deb if you haven't already.

cargo install cargo-deb

Then you can create a .deb package for your application with:

just debpkg

With cargo cargo-deb your package configuration is in Cargo.toml in the [package.metadata.deb] section. Since TOML doesn't really support variables you have to update everything manually (for now).
