NAME

cargo-reaper-new -- Create a new REAPER extension plugin.

SYNOPSIS

cargo-reaper new [options] path

DESCRIPTION

This command will create a new Cargo package in the given directory that is set up for use with cargo-reaper. This includes a simple template with a Cargo.toml manifest, sample source file, reaper.toml configuration file, and a .gitignore file.

OPTIONS

-t
--template

The type of template to use.

-h
--help

Print help information.

EXAMPLES

  1. Initialize a new extension plugin.
cargo reaper new reaper_my_plugin

Important: REAPER requires that extension plugins be prefixed by reaper_, otherwise REAPER will not recognize it.

The reaper_ prefix is added by default in the cargo-reaper configuration file that is generated by cargo-reaper-new, however, cargo-reaper will throw an error and refuse to compile if an extension plugin listed does not meet this condition.

  1. Initialize a new VST plugin.
cargo reaper new --template vst reaper_my_plugin

[!WARNING] Currently the reaper-rs library supports using the vst crate which is deprecated. In an effort to maintain support for reaper-rs, cargo-reaper can initialize VST plugins, but it does not add any conveniences like it does for extension development.
