Rust Server

Simple server that connects to a MySQL database and returns static files (HTML, CSS, Javascript, Images, ...) or JSON.

Get Started

Follow these steps to get in running:

Database

Run a MySQL database rust-test on localhost:3306 with user root and password root (or change params in src/database/mod.rs). Import the the SQL table:

CREATE TABLE `user` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=3 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO `user` (`id`, `name`) VALUES
(1, 'Sascha'),
(2, 'You');

Build and Run

Install Cargo and run in terminal:

# fetches necessary dependencies before build/run automatically
# will run the server on http://localhost:7878
cargo run 

Try it

Open a browser (or Postman) and call (GET):

http://localhost:7878/users

Extend

In order to extend this implementation, just add new controller methods to the src/controller module. Expose the new method in src/controller/mod.rs.

Then register the method in the src/main.rs.

This implementation is based on the mysql and serde module. Everything should come with rust.

Known Issues

• Multi Threading is not implemented
• The 404 error should be in JSON or HTML
• All JSON REST API paths shoulb start with /api/v1
• URL query and params handling is not implemented
