A simple example of building a blog using Rust, Axum, Tokio, and PostgreSQL.

Rust Blog Example

Full code for the blog post on building a simple blog.

This is an example for those wanting to build a web app using Rust, Axum, and PostgreSQL.

How to run

The blog post basically covers it all. Just make sure the database is running with the fields shown in the blog post. Also insert a post into the database before running the app.

I created a separate binary to handle inserting a markdown file into the DB. However it's inefficient in the long run as it has now way to edit a blog post. I leave it to the user to create a better way of inserting, updating, deleting blog posts into the database ;)

cargo run --bin markd "some title" ./some_post.md

then spin up the server

cargo run --bin blog-rs
