rust-question-api

My endeavour to learn Rust started a couple of weeks ago and it's been quite interesting.

This project is the first one I created following the book "Rust web development" [https://www.manning.com/books/rust-web-development]. Interesting book that let you build from start to finish a small api, BUT, at the end the project does not fully work as expected.

Here, you can see some differences from the original project that I needed to add to make it work as expected. Hope that it can help someone else!

Test the endpoints

You can use the following curl scripts to test. Don't forget to rename the "" and pay atention on the ids!

curl --location 'localhost:8080/questions'

post a question

curl --location 'localhost:8080/questions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: <auth-token>' \
--data '{
    "id": "2",
    "title": "New question",
    "content": "brexit was a shitty idea!",
    "tags": [
        "general"
    ]
}'
