  • Hyper – A fast and correct HTTP implementation for Rust
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 May 2023
    I tried warp [0] and I am unimpressed so far. Pretty complex, limited documentation, buggy. The builder paradigm they used feels pretty constrained and, in my opinion, achieve the opposite of the simplicity it is supposed to bring. I was surprised it is so popular.

    Maybe I need more time or a favorable comparison to another framework to appreciate it.

  • How in hell can Warp be considered "super easy"?
    1 project | /r/rust | 20 Apr 2023
    Have you gone through the (examples)[https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/blob/master/examples/]? There's actually a lot of explicit instructions here on how to use Warp, and all of them are very straightforward to read (e.g., (this example with route parameters and a POST'ed body)[https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/blob/master/examples/body.rs])

    There are numerous guides how to do custom error messages using the routes .recover() method (including the official one ), but it seems quite inflexible since I can't (seem to?) pass the actual error messages back to user.

    > If you are equally picky and constrain yourself to parts of the ecosystem which care about binary size, you still have more options and can avoid size issues.

    What's an example of this for, say, libcurl? On my system it has a tiny number of recursive dependencies, around a dozen. [0] Furthermore if I want to write a C program that uses libcurl I have to download zero bytes of data ... because it's a shared library that is already installed on my system, since so many programs already use it.

    I don't really know the appropriate comparison for Rust. reqwest seems roughly comparable, but it's an HTTP client library, and not a general purpose network client like curl. Obviously curl can do a lot more. Even the list of direct dependencies for reqwest is quite long [1], and it's built on top of another http library [2] that has its own long list of dependencies, a list that includes tokio, no small library itself.

    In terms of final binary size, the installed size of the curl package on my system, which includes both the command line tool and development dependencies for libcurl, is 1875.03 KiB.

    [0] I'm excluding the dependency on the ca-certificates package, since this only provides the certificate chain for TLS and lots of programs rely on it.

    You can use the tauri-plugin-deep-link crate to register your app as a protocol handler. After you get your code, you can exchange it for an auth token in the same manner as the Electron guide, but for Rust you can use reqwest for the HTTP call.

    When starting out, we made some design decisions at the backend. The decision will allow us to independently test the service without interfering with the real application using a term called integration testing. We'll utilize two "dev" packages: reqwest and fake. Dev dependencies only get introduced into your application in development or during testing. In production, they are not included:

    Rust allows me to mainly only run the application to confirm things work from a business perspective.

    For people starting out building stuff in rust - understand that there is a distinction of async code and libraries and can lead to confusing compiler errors if you don't realize there is a distinction. It's simple in hindsight but did cause me to waste hours barking up the wrong trees at first. Other wise just learn about `match` and Result/Option types asap, they're fundamental.

    https://github.com/http-rs/tide tide is great to create an http server / routes

    https://github.com/djc/askama I use this to template out HTML and it checks all my boxes, dynamic data, passing in functions, control flow.

    https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx sql interface for a variety of backend, async safe.

    https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest http client to make requests

    Rust is amazing, don't let the initial few speed bumps discourage you - building real things with rust is no more challenging today than any other modern language stack.
