An example full stack project using the warp framework, Diesel ORM and a frontend app built with JS.

You need the Rust compiler and the cargo package manager installed. The most convenient way to get them is with Rustup:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

You'll need a PostgreSQL database running and accessible on your network, as well as the PostgreSQL C headers the Rust compiler will link with, available on Debian-based distros inside the libpq-dev package:

sudo apt install postgresql libpq-dev ## or postgresql-10

The Diesel CLI (just the PostgreSQL features) is required, install it with:

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

You need to setup the following environment variables inside of a .env file:

DATABASE_URL

cd app/

The frontend was built using VueJS and Parcel following this tutorial. We consume the Rust API using axios.

Install the dependencies:

npm i -g parcel-bundler ## to get the parcel CLI
npm i

Launch the development server with hot module reloading:

parcel index.html
