Required Methods§

Source

fn name(&self) -> &PackageName

The package name as the registry reports it.

This is the identifier the registry displays and that completion pastes into a manifest. It is not guaranteed byte-identical to the manifest-declared Dependency::name for the same package: casing may differ (NuGet, Composer, Swift), and for Maven/Gradle it is a "group:artifact" value synthesized from two separate response fields. Do not compare it to a manifest name without going through PackageNaming::normalize_package_name.
