Abe is a small project that I started doing my blog. I use my skeleton-api as a base and build the rest on it. The point of this project is to learn, and I'm sharing it because I thought one more resource in Rust wouldn't hurt. So, it's not a mature or bug-free product, but I use it and it does the trick.
The backend is in Rust and uses Actix to serve the API and the blog with templates. The Dashboard (responsible for creating / updating / deleting / publishing articles) is a Svelte app with a web assembly module that uses Yew for the editor. Because why not. It's an admin dashboard, right now I don't care if it's not clean (or if it's a mess), but I'll rewrite it someday.
To compile we need a valid Rust environnement : https://rustup.rs/, tthe diesel_cli : http://diesel.rs/guides/getting-started/. We also need an postgresql database, a .env containing informations such as the name of your platform, various paths, and info about the API (see example.env). For admin dashboard we need Svelte (so npm install etc) and for the Yew module we need to install wasm-pack : https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/
cargo build --bin api --release
cargo build --bin artisan --release
cd dashboard
build.sh
diesel setup
diesel migration run
cargo run --bin api --release
cargo run --bin artisan --release
To show usage of artisan, just run :
./target/release/artisan -h
We need to add at least an admin to the DB, to be able to use the dashboard. Use the artisan to do that (-a is a flag that mean admin):
./target/release/artisan create-user -a --email aaa@bbb.ccc --password 123456
Now just go to the dashboard : http://127.0.0.1:8080/dashboard/admin_restricted
Create articles and see the result here : http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
