Rust Web Service Template

This repository contains a template for setting up Rust Web Development. To handle database migrations, I have opted for Django due to its convenient built-in functionality. For database ORM, I have used diesel. To facilitate development, I have configured the CLI using zsh, which has been my go-to shell for some time. For the HTTP service, I have chosen hyper due to its lightweight nature.

Rust Setup

Install Rust

• https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

IDE Setup

I have opted for PyCharm Community Edition for updating the Django Models and IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition for Rust.

Zsh Setup

Install zsh

For Mac

# Installing the zsh
brew install zsh

# Setting the `zsh` as your default shell
chsh -s /bin/zsh

# After that restart your terminal, now you should be using `zsh` as your default shell

For Ubuntu and Debian-based Linux distributions

# Installing the zsh
sudo apt install zsh

# Setting the `zsh` as your default shell 
chsh -s $(which zsh)

# After that restart your terminal, now you should be using `zsh` as your default shell

Autoenv Setup

mkdir ~/.dotfiles
git clone https://github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv
echo 'source ~/.dotfiles/lib/zsh-autoenv/autoenv.zsh' >> ~/.zshrc

• Reference: https://github.com/Tarrasch/zsh-autoenv

Django Setup

Install pip

Create virtualenv

python3 -m venv .env
source ./.env/bin/activate

Install python Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create Django Project

We don't need to run this command everytime as we have to create only first time, it is already done

django-admin startproject proj
mv proj dj

Create Django APP

cd dj
django-admin startapp temp_app

Add this APP into dj/proj/settings.py in INSTALLED_APPS.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    "temp_app"
]

Install Redis

Diesel Setup

Install Diesel CLI

If above zsh setup is not done

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

If above zsh is done so run below command

install_diesel

Diesel Schema

If above zsh setup is not done

diesel print-schema only-tables --database-url=$DATABASE_URL > $PROJDIR/service/db/src/schema.rs
