(2)GitHub Action to collect Cargo/Rust project metadata (packages, features, publishable packages and a ready-to-use job matrix).
- Runs
cargo metadatafor the repository (or a specified manifest) and extracts useful information about packages and features. - Exposes outputs for raw metadata and parsed lists so subsequent workflow steps can use them (for example to publish crates, run tests per-package, or build per-feature).
manifest-path: Path toCargo.toml(default:"Cargo.toml").
metadata: Raw cargo metadata JSON.packages: JSON array (string) of package names, e.g.["foo","bar"].publish: JSON array (string) of packages that can be published.matrix: JSON array (string) of command-line fragments suitable for use as a job matrix, e.g.["--package=foo","--package=bar --features=foo"]

echo "Packages: ${{ steps.rustmeta.outputs.packages }}"
echo "Publishable: ${{ steps.rustmeta.outputs.publish }}"You can convert the matrix output into a job matrix for per-package jobs. The action emits matrix and publish as
JSON; use fromJson to parse them.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v5
- name: Publish crate (dry-run)
run: cargo publish -p ${{ matrix.package }} --dry-run
# Uncomment the real publish step once you're ready to publish for real
# run: cargo publish -p ${{ matrix.package }}- The action expects a Rust workspace or package with a
Cargo.toml. If your manifest lives in a subdirectory, setmanifest-pathaccordingly. - Outputs are emitted as JSON strings; use
fromJsonin workflows when you need native arrays or objects.
