jelly-actix-web-starter VS sqlx

You can look at https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

My usual reminder that I have a Django-ish template for actix-web that I maintain: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

Now that actix-web 4.0 is out I should be able to finally resolve one of the open issues/PRs, which I was waiting on 4.0 for.

For those interested in Django-in-Rust type approaches, I maintain an actix-web starter project that does exactly this: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

I maintain a starter for all of this kind of stuff on top of actix-web, for anyone interested: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter/

Curious why you went with the mailbox approach - since a request is pretty much in-and-out, I found it sufficient to just write a trait for HttpRequest and have a custom render(...) method that pulls any flash messages from the session, thus clearing them. Wouldn't surprise me if I'm missing something tho.

I love Askama, but being tied to compile time changes is an absurd handicap on a web framework in the initial iteration phase. With Tera, you can implement a watcher for template changes and reload them without needing to recompile the entire framework.

If you want, I have an open source actix-web repo that does stuff like this for you already.

If you enjoy Python's web story but want something similar-ish in Rust, you can check out my actix boilerplate repo - it "mimics" Django in many ways. If nothing else, might be useful for picking apart.

For PostgreSQL, the most relevent part of the code is here. With this in mind I changed some things around to rely on schemas instead of databases and even simplified some parts of the implementation as this was always meant to be for internal use only..

What exactly are you missing? I haven't really written "boring corporate backend stuff" in a few years but something like sqlx provides everything I've ever needed there.

SQLX has entered the chat [1].

Database : SqLite (using sqlx).

The current (well, removed) MSSQL sqlx driver also doesn't support encrypted connections (https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues/1552), so it might work locally on an unnamed instance but not over the network until they add in the newer driver (which will be closed source but for an OSS project you should be able to request a free license I think)

I'm considering making my own wrapper over lower-level database drivers. There are a lot of features in sqlx that I don't need, and the latest version seems to have removed useful data structures that SQLPage is using. It also removed support for SQL Server.

add Ed25519 to AuthPlugin enum on https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/blob/061fdcabd72896d9bc3abb4ea4af6712a04bc0a8/sqlx-core/src/mysql/connection/auth.rs and implement them using these crates:
