An implementation of "The mother of all demo apps" using SQLx

This application supports both SQLite and PostgreSQL!

1. Pick a DB Backend.

   export DB_TYPE="postgres"
   

2. Declare the database URL.

   export DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres@localhost/realworld"
   

3. Create the database.

   createdb -U postgres realworld
   

4. Load the database schema from the appropriate file in schema directory.

   psql -d "${DATABASE_URL}" -f ./schema/postgres.sql
   

5. Run!

   cargo run --features "${DB_TYPE}" -- --db "${DB_TYPE}
   

6. Send some requests!

   curl --request POST \
     --url http://localhost:8080/api/users \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"user":{"email":"[email protected]", "password":"not_secure", "username":"sqlx_user"}}'
   

   curl --request POST \
     --url http://localhost:8080/api/users/login \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"user":{"email":"[email protected]", "password":"not_secure"}}'
   

• Filters via query parameters
• Unit tests

• This is not a production application, pks are public ids, caveat emptor, etc.
• Currently you CANNOT compile this crate with multiple DB backends enabled as the query macros will conflict with one another.
• SQLite locks the tables if there are basically any errors (e.g. constraint violations). This may be related to #193
• The realworld API tests complain about timestamps in our responses. This is an issue w/ their tests [realworld-apps/realworld#490]realworld-apps/realworld#490
• As of 0.6.0, tide has not fully worked out the error handling story. tide::ResultExt helps but as of now API endpoint functions can only return tide::Response
• sqlx::Error does not carry type information about the Database so some clever downcasting is needed to resolve details from Database errors
