This repo provides an example web server written using rust's axum web framework.
This project assumes you've installed the rust toolchain from rustup.rs. If you download the latest version you should be able to run this project without any issue.
To start the server run:
# Build the debug binary and run it
cargo run
Alternatively, you can build the binary and then run the executable
# Build the debug binary (gets stored in ./target/debug)
cargo build
# run the binary directly
./target/debug/hello_world_web_server
You should see a log message similar to this:
2023-05-17T04:48:37.074292Z INFO hello_world_web_server: listening on 127.0.0.1:7878
In a seperate terminal use curl to make calls to the web app:
curl -G http://localhost:7878
curl -G http://localhost:7878 -d "name=Yacin"
You should see the following log messages
2023-05-17T04:48:42.283979Z INFO hello_world_web_server: No name passed to hello_world handler!
2023-05-17T04:48:47.826873Z INFO hello_world_web_server: Yacin passed to hello_world handler!
Some simple integration tests have been written to validate the hello_world request handler. You can run them with:
cargo test
