REST API

A very simple REST API written in Rust, powered by the actix-web crate.

Compiling

To compile the application for the current OS/architecture (WSL2 Ubuntu Linux for me):

• cargo build --release

Cross-compiling

For cross-compiling from WSL2 to Windows:

• Install GCC compiler support for Windows systems:
  • sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64
• Install the appropriate target:
  • rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
• Compile the binaries:
  • cargo build --release --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Endpoints

GET health_check

• http://localhost:8080

GET get_entries

• http://localhost:8080/todolist/entries

POST create_entry

• http://localhost:8080/todolist/entries

{
  "title": "Title",
  "date": 1665230864337
}

PUT update_entry

• http://localhost:8080/todolist/entries/{id}

{
  "title": "New Title"
}

DELETE delete_entry

• http://localhost:8080/todolist/entries/{id}

Testing the endpoints

• Import thunder-collection_todolist_api.json from .thunderclient using the VSCode Thunder Client extension to load the requests/tests.
• Make requests to the endpoints using the extension.

Alternatively, you can also use a tool like curl.
