• PostgreSQL

  405 14,673 10.0 C

  Mirror of the official PostgreSQL GIT repository. Note that this is just a *mirror* - we don't work with pull requests on github. To contribute, please see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch

  

As stated, CryptoFlow will support user authentication and authorization and questions and answers management. We need to persist these data and to do this, we need SQL relations. We're building the application with PostgreSQL. Since we use SQLx, our data schema needs to be inside the migrations folder at the root of of project (in the same level as src). Create this folder and then issue the following command:

• axum

  150 16,097 9.3 Rust

  Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper

  

You also get to specify the accepted HTTP method of the URL via axum::routing. To answer its name, modularity, Axum also supports nested routes as we'll see later in this series. Next is the layer, a method used to apply tower::Layer to all routes before it. This means that routes added after the layer method will not have such a layer applied to their requests. In our case, we used the layer to add tracing to all HTTP requests and responses to our routes. This is needed for proper logging. The tower_http::trace::TraceLayer can even be really customised.

• SvelteKit

  611 17,685 9.8 JavaScript

  web development, streamlined (by sveltejs)

  

Being a pragmatist, it's always intriguing to learn by building cool systems with the best tools currently available. The last time I did this, three series came out and it was fulfilling. Having had some break, I decided to build something with axum, "a rust web application framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity". As usual, SvelteKit comes to our rescue at the front end. What are we building? That's a nice question!
