Dfx build rust only?

Is there a dfx command to build all my Rust canisters but, skip another type of canister like the frontend?

My project got three Rust canisters and a frontend dapp. I’m doing refactoring in the backend code therefore would be handy to be able to do something like dfx build everything except frontend.

Quite a particular use case though.

No, we don’t have such an option. In this case, I’d actually recommend you use cargo check directly to make your iterations as fast as possible

Good tips, thanks Severin.
