hal-rs-demo

A demonstration of how to use the hal-rs library in a web server.

Build Instructions

$ git clone https://github.com/hjr3/hal-rs-demo
$ cd hal-rs-demo
$ cargo build
$ cargo run

The demo requires a postgres database server. The postgres database server credentials can be customized using the following environment variable:

• DBHOST
• DBPORT
• DBUSER
• DBPASS
• DBNAME

Setup

There is fixture data that will setup the database and allow the requests to work. Please make sure the database user is allowed to create and drop tables.

The setup assumes the database is already created.

Browse to http://localhost:6767/setup and you should see "Setup complete".

Examples

The two working examples are:

• / - returns a Hal collection that was manually constructed
• /orders/:order_id returns a Hal object via the ToHal trait being implemented on an Order struct
