rust-api

Following the Rust books tutorial walk through of creating an api from the Rust standard library - https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch20-00-final-project-a-web-server.html.

Pre-req

• Rust installed

How to run?

• Start project - cargo run

How to hit endpoints?

I've just used curl from my terminal but you could optionally use your own preffered approach to make http requests to the endpoint 127.0.0.1:7878.

HTTP GET:

• curl 127.0.0.1:7878/name - returns my name
• curl 127.0.0.1:7878/age - returns my age
• curl 127.0.0.1:7878/anything-else - returns 404

note: if you use an alternative way of sending http requests you'll need to remember to remove the curl from the start of the request url.
