# Install Rust Toolchain
This GitHub Action installs a Rust toolchain using rustup.
It further integrates into the ecosystem.
Caching for Rust tools and build artifacts is enabled.
Environment variables are set to optimize the cache hits.
[Problem Matchers] are provided for build messages (cargo, clippy) and formatting (rustfmt).
The action is heavily inspired by *dtolnay*'s <https://github.com/dtolnay/rust-toolchain> and extends it with further features.
## Example workflow
```yaml
name: "Test Suite"
on:
push:
pull_request:
jobs:
test:
name: cargo test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1
- run: cargo test --all-features
# Check formatting with rustfmt
formatting:
name: cargo fmt
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
# Ensure rustfmt is installed and setup problem matcher
- uses: actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1
with:
components: rustfmt
- name: Rustfmt Check
uses: actions-rust-lang/rustfmt@v1
```
## Inputs
All inputs are optional.
If a [toolchain file](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html#the-toolchain-file) (i.e., `rust-toolchain` or `rust-toolchain.toml`) is found in the root of the repository, it takes precedence.
All input values are ignored if a toolchain file exists.
