rustomword

A play on random word, gives you a random word that you can use for ... whatever words are for.

For now, there is no real way to set it up locally. You must deploy it to Heroku. A live one is available here : https://rustomword.herokuapp.com/

Setting Up Local Instance

Notes

Since Heroku's database URI are dynamic, there is no way to test local instance of this application against the rustomword's backend. Hence, you will have to provide the database yourself.

Thankfully, it's not that hard.

Prerequisite

Currently, our setup is not database agnostic. You will have to install PostgreSQL.

Instructions

1. Access the database, and create a user using the name rustomword_test_user and the password 654321. This is just for local testing, so I thought its fine to expose them here :3
2. Create a database with the name rustomword_test_db.
3. Clone this repository : https://github.com/hbina/englishdictsql
4. You will then have to feed the database with the entries table which is provided by the SQL file. To do so, simply execute : psql -d rustomword < psql_entries.sql
5. Execute cargo run. You will encounter "errors" saying some environment variables are not set up, but you can ignore them.
