Moose

Designed and developed by Luqman

Moose is a simple bank management system written in Rust. It includes a REST API for clients to perform various operations such as creating accounts, making transactions, and managing their accounts. Designed to be integrated with various projects and services that may require a backend for managing accounts and transactions. This is also my first Rust project. Originally written in C++ and migrated to Rust.

The original C++ version is available at this release. Note that it barely works.

Development

Stack

• Language: Rust
• Framework: Actix Web
• Database: SQLite3

Developed in a Fedora environment I daily drive. Optimised for Linux/Unix.

How it works

At the core of the project is a REST API built using Actix Web. All the endpoints are inside the src/routes directory. The logic for these endpoints are located inside the src/functions directory and are called from the routes. Input validations happen inside the the src/routes directory and returns a corresponding HTTP status code.
