A simple CRUD application written in Rust, based on this tutorial by Sean Wragg.

It uses the following tools

• rocket web framework
• diesel ORM framework with Sqlite3
• serde for JSON serialization

The application requires Rust nightly

rustup default nightly
rustup update && cargo update

The web application uses Diesel with a Sqlite3 database. Install the diesel-cli tool first

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "sqlite"

Setup

To use the application the Sqlite3 database has to be setup first.

# create folder
mkdir ./data
# run migrations
diesel migration run

To compile and run the application, execute:

cargo run
