NIF Scaffold Generator

Create a new Rust NIF module for app $0 named $1.

Steps

1. Validate arguments:

   • $0 must be an existing umbrella app (eth_core, eth_crypto, eth_net, eth_storage, eth_rpc)
   • $1 should be snake_case (the NIF crate name)

2. Read the app's mix.exs to understand current dependencies and compilers

3. Create the Rust NIF structure:

   apps/$0/native/$1/
   ├── Cargo.toml
   └── src/
       └── lib.rs
   

4. Cargo.toml template:

   • [package] with name = "$1", edition = "2021"
   • [lib] with crate-type = ["cdylib"]
