Fullstack web app built 100% with Rust. GraphQL API, WebAssembly client and PostgreSQL.
When my Rust learning jurney first started I found it difficult to find begginer friendly examples or tutorials that implemented all the featues neccessary to build real world web application.
This example is simple enough for Rust begginers to understand and pick appart the parts they need. It's also rich with features that are regularly used in production like cookie authentication, several levels of user role authorization, and post change tracking.
Work in progress.
- Rust programming language
- Async-graphql integration with Actix web framework for Rust
- SQLx async crate for querying databases featuring compile-time checked queries without a DSL
- PostgreSQL object-relational database
- Yew Rust framework for creating multi-threaded front-end web apps using WebAssembly
cargo install sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features native-tls,postgres
Rename .env.example file to .env. Inside, replace the word 'password' of DATABASE_URL with Postgres superuser password.
sqlx database create
sqlx migrate run
Rename ./server/configuration/base.example.yaml file to ./server/configuration/base.yaml. Inside, replace password with your Postgres superuser password.
Run:
cd server
cargo run
Open GraphQL playground at http://localhost:8080/graphiql in your Browser where you can test queries and mutations.
Install Trunk, a WASM web application bundler for Rust, and wasm-bindgen, a Rust library and CLI tool that facilitate high-level interactions between WASM modules and JavaScript by running cargo install trunk wasm-bindgen-cli.
Navigate to ./client/ folder with cd client in your terminal and run trunk build.
Run trunk serve to start the web app and open http://localhost:4001 in your browser.
