Installation

Add dataflow-rs to your Rust project using Cargo.

Requirements

• Rust 1.85 or later (Edition 2024)
• Cargo (comes with Rust)

Add to Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
dataflow-rs = "2.1"
serde_json = "1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }

Verify Installation

Create a simple test to verify the installation:

use dataflow_rs::Engine;

fn main() {
    // Create an empty rules engine
    let engine = Engine::new(vec![], None);
    println!("Rules engine created with {} rules", engine.workflows().len());
}

Run with:

cargo run

You should see:

Rules engine created with 0 rules

[dependencies]
# For async operations
async-trait = "0.1"

# For custom error handling
thiserror = "2.0"

# For logging
