Rusty Road is a framework written in Rust that is based on Ruby on Rails. It is designed to provide the familiar conventions and ease of use of Ruby on Rails, while also taking advantage of the performance and efficiency of Rust.
Rusty Road is a framework written in Rust that is based on Ruby on Rails. It is designed to provide the familiar conventions and ease of use of Ruby on Rails, while also taking advantage of the performance and efficiency of Rust.
Rusty Road is intended to offer developers a powerful and reliable platform for building web applications using Rust, and its name incorporates a rust-themed crab pun in a playful and memorable way.
Rusty Road currently works with the actix web framework, the Diesel ORM, the Tera template engine, the SASS asset pipeline, and the PostgreSQL database. It also uses the dotenv crate to manage environment variables, and it uses the dotenv-linter crate to lint environment variables.
Because Rusty Road uses the actix web framework, the architecture is not exactly MVC
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
Rust is required to build and run Rusty Road. You can install Rust using rustup. rustup is a tool that helps manage Rust installations, it allows for installing multiple versions of Rust and switching between them easily.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Rusty Road is available on crates.io. You can install it using cargo:
cargo install rustyroad
Bonus Step #1 (optional): Add the following to your .bashrc or .zshrc file to make the rustyroad command available in your terminal:
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
Bonus Step #2 (optional): Create a symbolic link to the rustyroad command in your ~/.cargo/bin directory.
This will create a symlink from rustyroad to rr inside ~/.cargo/bin/ directory.
Now you can invoke rr command which is just a symlink to rustyroad.
sudo ln -s ~/.cargo/bin/rustyroad /usr/local/bin/rr
(Windows users can download the executable from the releases page and add it to their PATH.)
Clone the repository and run the setup script.
git clone https://github.com/RileySeaburg/RustyRoad
cd RustyRoad
cargo run
The cli will prompt you to create a new project. Enter the name of your project and the cli will create a new project in the current directory.
