Databases Example

This example makes use of SQLite and MySQL. You'll need sqlite3 and a MySQL client installed:

• macOS: brew install sqlite mysql-client
• Debian, Ubuntu: apt-get install libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
• Arch: pacman -S sqlite libmysqlclient

API Implementation

This example implements a JSON-based HTTP API for a "blog" using several database drivers:

• sqlx (/sqlx, sqlx.rs)
• rusqlite (/rusqlite, rusqlite.rs)
• diesel (sqlite) (/diesel, diesel_sqlite.rs)
• diesel-async (mysql) (/diesel-async, diesel_mysql.rs)

The exposed API is succinctly described as follows, with httpie CLI examples:

• POST /driver: create post via JSON with title and text; returns new post JSON with new id

  http http://127.0.0.1:8000/sqlx title="Title" text="Hello, world."
  > { "id": 2128, "text": "Hello, world.", "title": "Title" }
  

• GET /driver: returns JSON array of IDs for blog posts

  http http://127.0.0.1:8000/sqlx
  > [ 2128, 2129, 2130, 2131 ]
  

• GET /driver/<id>: returns a JSON object for the post with id <id>

  http http://127.0.0.1:8000/sqlx/2128
  > { "id": 2128, "text": "Hello, world.", "title": "Title" }
  

• DELETE /driver: delete all posts

  http delete http://127.0.0.1:8000/sqlx
  

• DELETE /driver/<id>: delete post with id <id>

  http delete http://127.0.0.1:8000/sqlx/4
  

Migrations

Database migrations are stored in the respective db/${driver} directory.

diesel

Diesel migrations are found in db/diesel/migrations. They are run automatically. They can be run manually as well:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite
DATABASE_URL="db/diesel/db.sqlite" diesel migration --migration-dir db/diesel/migrations redo

sqlx

sqlx migrations are found in db/sqlx/migrations. They are run automatically.

Query metadata for offline checking was prepared with the following commands:

cargo install sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features sqlite
DATABASE_URL="sqlite:$(pwd)/db/sqlx/db.sqlite" cargo sqlx prepare
