Actix Web Boilerplate

An Actix Web boilerplate with R2D2 and Diesel ORM/Migrations support

Requirements

• Rust Stable/Nightly
• Cargo

Database Support

Currently the repository is set up to use PostgreSQL as its DBMS. However, you can change this to other diesel-compatible DBMSes by changing PgConnection in src/db/mod.rs to your preferred choice and importing necessary dependencies in Cargo.toml

Folder Structure

The following are the notable folders with their descriptions:

• /migrations - Contains your diesel migrations
• /src/app - Contains most files related to your app
  • /src/app/api - Contains methods for handling requests
  • /src/app/db - Contains methods for connecting to the database and setting up connection pools
  • /src/app/models - Contains your diesel model files

Configuration

• You can set configuration variables in config.toml

• You can also configuration variables via environment variables which will override config.toml

• You can also declare environment variables in a .env file which will get loaded by dotenv

  Example of .env contents:

  APP_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:9999
  APP_DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/dbname
