README
The limiting-factor crate offers facilities to implement a REST API.
Goal
The goal of this library is to provide:
- glue code for Rocket and Diesel
- standard API replies
- boilerplate to parse environment to extract configuration and run a server
That allows an API or a back-end web server to focus on requests and data model, and to maintain helper methods as a separate library.
Dependencies
- Diesel, as PostgreSQL ORM, with r2d2 support to pool connections
- Rocket, as web framework
- Chrono, for date and time types
Compile
Windows
You need to give to rustc some hints about where libpq.lib is.
The pq-sys crate offers a build script to find the library and then print the relevant hints.
You can manually set your PostgreSQL library folder with:
export PQ_LIB_DIR="C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\lib"
cargo run

The glue code to use Rocket with Diesel is adapted from the Rocket guide. See https://rocket.rs/guide/state/#databases. Guide author: Sergio Benitez.
