Sergio Benitez 4f3511786c Introduce statically-enforced 'Rocket' phasing.
The core 'Rocket' type is parameterized: 'Rocket<P: Phase>', where
'Phase' is a newly introduced, sealed marker trait. The trait is
implemented by three new marker types representing the three launch
phases: 'Build', 'Ignite', and 'Orbit'. Progression through these three
phases, in order, is enforced, as are the invariants guaranteed by each
phase. In particular, an instance of 'Rocket' is guaranteed to be in its
final configuration after the 'Build' phase and represent a running
local or public server in the 'Orbit' phase. The 'Ignite' phase serves
as an intermediate, enabling inspection of a finalized but stationary
instance. Transition between phases validates the invariants required
by the transition.

All APIs have been adjusted appropriately, requiring either an instance
of 'Rocket' in a particular phase ('Rocket<Build>', 'Rocket<Ignite>', or
'Rocket<Orbit>') or operating generically on a 'Rocket<P>'.
Documentation is also updated and substantially improved to mention
required and guaranteed invariants.

Additionally, this commit makes the following relevant changes:

  * 'Rocket::ignite()' is now a public interface.
  * 'Rocket::{build,custom}' methods can no longer panic.
  * 'Launch' fairings are now 'ignite' fairings.
  * 'Liftoff' fairings are always run, even in local mode.
  * All 'ignite' fairings run concurrently at ignition.
  * Launch logging occurs on launch, not any point prior.
  * Launch log messages have improved formatting.
  * A new launch error kind, 'Config', was added.
  * A 'fairing::Result' type alias was introduced.
  * 'Shutdown::shutdown()' is now 'Shutdown::notify()'.

Some internal changes were also introduced:

  * Fairing 'Info' name for 'Templates' is now 'Templating'.
  * Shutdown is implemented using 'tokio::sync::Notify'.
  * 'Client::debug()' is used nearly universally in tests.

Rocket Website Source

This directory contains the source files for the content on Rocket's website.

Contents

This directory contains the following:

  • index.toml - Source data for the index.
  • overview.toml - Source data for the overview page (overview/).
  • news/index.toml - Source data for the news page (news/).
  • news/*.md - News articles linked to from news/index.toml.
  • guide/*.md - Guide pages linked to from guide.md.

Cross-linking guide pages is accomplished via relative links. Outside of the index, this is: ../{page}#anchor. For instance, to link to the Quickstart > Running Examples page, use ../quickstart#running-examples.

Aliases

Aliases are shorthand URLs that start with @ (e.g, @api). They are used throughout the guide to simplify versioning URLs to Rocket's source code and the Rocket API. They are replaced at build time with a URL prefix. At present, the following aliases are available, where ${version} is Rocket's version string at the time of compilation:

For example, to link to Rocket::launch(), you might write:

Launch an instance of your application using the [`launch()`] method.

[`launch()`]: @api/rocket/struct.Rocket.html#method.launch
