This is a fun little POC for a Rust service layer. Click on my cute friend to make sure you have the latest version of Rust and Cargo.
Next Click on the sweet Diesel logo to snag the diesel CLI and get up to speed.
I use a Linux machine so feel free to tweak these steps but the way I run this POC is by doing the following.
If you don't have docker on your computer now would be a great time to get it.
make sure you have docker on your machine.
docker -v
cd to your app directory and open the terminal in your IDE
start docker.
sudo systemctl start docker
check and see if the docker daemon is running
sudo docker ps -a
build and start the postgres db docker container
docker compose up
use diesel to run the migration which will add the greeting to the first row of the db.
diesel migration run
The table stucture is the exact same as the Diesel getting started example.
run the application, and see the greeting.
cargo run
