realworld-axum-sqlx VS book

This was one of the objectives when we created https://github.com/launchbadge/realworld-axum-sqlx

Clap can actually load values from the environment now: https://github.com/launchbadge/realworld-axum-sqlx/blob/main/src/config.rs

I'm working on a PoC to rewrite the realworld app from launchbadge to use entrait: https://github.com/audunhalland/rust-realworld-ioc/ (work in progress), maybe it can be used as inspiration.

While there already exists a fantastic implementation of the spec written by the sqlx authors, I wanted to use this as a Rust playground for myself and others to poke around the ecosystem. I'm sure there's quite a bit of room for improvement, and I'm looking forward to opening this up for those in a similar boat and learning Rust.

I'm following some examples for creating a server with Axum like realworld-axum-sqlx and customize-extractor-error. The second one shows how to get request errors related to json and I'd like to know if there's anyway to make the where clause more error-proof.

I've just migrated from actix-web to axum, so it's the backend that I'm interested in people's thoughs on. I've taken a fair amount of design inspiration from the realworld-axum-sqlx project.

Here is a realworld-spec in Axum: https://github.com/launchbadge/realworld-axum-sqlx

https://github.com/launchbadge/realworld-axum-sqlx is Axum based implementation of the Realworld specification

Here's an example codebase using these features: https://github.com/launchbadge/realworld-axum-sqlx/blob/main/src/http/articles/listing.rs

Realworld Spec with Axum

My first port of call was to google learn rust which lead me to "the book". The book is a first steps guide written by the rust community for newbies (or Rustlings as they're called) to gain a 'solid grasp of the language'.

Before Prodzilla, I’d read 'The Book' a couple of times, and had made my way through Rustlings, but hadn’t yet built a serious project in Rust.

To answer your last question;

Start with the Rust book.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

Then do Rustlings until the syntax becomes muscle memory.

Then join the Discord and start doing little projects.

You won’t get up to the proficiency of other languages as quickly in Rust. It takes longer. For me it’s taking a lot longer, but I enjoy it.

Before diving into these repositories, familiarize yourself with Rust and its development ecosystem. The official Rust book is an excellent resource for developers at all levels. Each repository has documentation on how to contribute, covering code style, issue tracking, and pull requests.

This is my third Rust book after the official book and Rust in Action. The other two books are great, but they were too theoretical for me. I'm a slow learner and had much trouble grokking Rust's features and idiosyncrasies. When I was done with these books, I was lost and unsure of what I could do.

It's the same reason everything digital and downloadable isn't free: there's a cost to create it and there's a value to it.

For a language developer to charge for a book about that language, I think that's a completely valid way to make some money off of their work.

Even the Rust book, "The Rust Programming Language" is available freely online [0], but also as a print and ebook for sale via NoStarchPress [1].

You know you can just read it online right now in 2 different variants It does contain some systems programming.

I am looking at The Book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/), but hoped there was an amazing person on youtube.

Yeah, I'll build something, finally trying webassembly.
