Hello Actix Web

A simple web application using the Actix Web framework in Rust.

Prepare

Install Tools

• Make sure you have Rust and Cargo installed. You can install them from rustup.rs.

• PostgreSQL should be installed (only its client psql is needed). You can download it from postgresql.org.

• Also, install the SQLx CLI tool with PostgreSQL support:

  cargo install --version=0.8.6 sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres

DB Setup

./scripts/init_db.sh

• To skip Docker setup:

  SKIP_DOCKER=true ./scripts/init_db.sh

Run

cargo run

• Set the RUST_LOG environment variable to see detailed logs, default is info:

  RUST_LOG=trace cargo run

• Structured logs can be viewed in a more readable format using bunyan:

  cargo run | bunyan

• Set the APP_ENVIRONMENT environment variable to production to run in production mode, default is local:

  APP_ENVIRONMENT=production cargo run

Test

cargo test

• Set TEST_LOG environment variable to see logs during tests, and the default log level is debug which also can be overridden by RUST_LOG:

  TEST_LOG=true RUST_LOG="sqlx=error,info" cargo test | bunyan
