Actix Web with Shuttle Shared DB (Postgres)

Introduction

This template shows how to connect a Postgres database and use it for a simple TODO list app.

Features

• Public routes for creating/fetching notes using a database.

Pre-requisites

• Rust
• cargo-shuttle

How to use this template

Run the project with shuttle run.

Then run the following curl commands below:

curl -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' localhost:8000/todos --data '{"note":"My todo"}'
# {"id":1,"note":"My todo"}

curl localhost:8000/todos/1
# {"id":1,"note":"My todo"}

Once you're ready to deploy, use shuttle deploy.

Troubleshooting

• Shuttle connects by default to port 8000 - if you're currently already using something at port 8000, you can add the --port <port-number> to the shuttle run command to change this.
• If you're running locally, don't forget to have Docker installed and running!
