Router Crates (Renamed from router-*)

Crate	Version	Status	URL
ruvector-router-core	0.1.1	✅ Published	https://crates.io/crates/ruvector-router-core
ruvector-router-cli	0.1.1	✅ Published	https://crates.io/crates/ruvector-router-cli

🎯 Publishing Process

1. Configuration

• Used .env file with CRATES_API_KEY
• Set up cargo credentials in ~/.cargo/credentials.toml
• Authenticated to crates.io registry

2. Crate Renaming

Problem: router-core was owned by another user ('westhide')

Solution: Renamed all router-* crates with ruvector- prefix:

mv crates/router-core crates/ruvector-router-core
mv crates/router-cli crates/ruvector-router-cli
mv crates/router-ffi crates/ruvector-router-ffi
mv crates/router-wasm crates/ruvector-router-wasm

3. Updates Made

Workspace Cargo.toml:

• Updated member list with new crate names

Individual Cargo.toml:

• Changed package names from router-* to ruvector-router-*
• Updated all dependency paths

Source Code:

• Fixed module imports: router_core → ruvector_router_core
• Updated all use statements across 3 crates

4. Publishing Order

# Already published (previous sessions)
cargo publish -p ruvector-core
cargo publish -p ruvector-node
cargo publish -p ruvector-cli

# Newly published (this session)
cargo publish -p ruvector-router-core  # Foundation
cargo publish -p ruvector-router-cli   # Depends on core
cargo publish -p ruvector-router-ffi   # Depends on core
cargo publish -p ruvector-router-wasm  # Depends on core

🔧 Installation & Usage

From crates.io (Rust)

[dependencies]
ruvector-core = "0.1.1"
ruvector-router-core = "0.1.1"

CLI Installation

cargo install ruvector-cli
cargo install ruvector-router-cli

Example Usage

use ruvector_core::{VectorDB, VectorEntry, SearchQuery};

// Create database
let db = VectorDB::with_dimensions(128)?;

// Insert vector
let id = db.insert(VectorEntry {
    id: Some("vec_1".to_string()),
    vector: vec![0.5; 128],
    metadata: None,
})?;

// Search
let results = db.search(SearchQuery {
    vector: vec![0.5; 128],
    k: 10,
    filter: None,
    ef_search: None,
})?;

🎓 Lessons Learned

Crate Naming

• Always check crates.io availability before choosing names
• Use consistent prefixes to avoid conflicts
• Module names (underscores) vs package names (hyphens)

Publishing Order

• Publish dependencies before dependents
• Use --allow-dirty for uncommitted changes
• Verify each crate after publishing

Workspace Management

• Keep workspace Cargo.toml in sync
• Use workspace dependencies for consistency
• Test compilation before publishing
