API Deployment Example

Setup

1. Make sure Docker is installed and running

2. Make sure sqlx cli is installed

3. settup postgresql locally with docker: ``docker run -p 5432:5432 --name some-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d postgres````

4. Create a .env file. This file will store environment variables. Specifically, DATABASE_URL and POSTGRES_PASSWORD. It should look like this:

   DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:mysecretpassword@localhost:5432/postgres

   NOTE: When deploying the API, make sure to change the default PostgreSQL password.

5. To Test the api locally with Cargo:

   $ cargo run

   Add a user:

   Create a post request to (in postman or an equivalent tool): localhost:3000/user,

   body:

   { "name": "Daniel Ahmed",
     "email": "daniel.ahmed@gmail.com" }

6. Update docker-compose.yml and change nuaip to your own Docker Hub username.

Run Locally with Docker

1. Run an instance of PostgreSQL. This can be done via Docker:

   docker pull postgres
   docker run --name example-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgrespw -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

2. Run SQL migrations:

   sqlx migrate run

3. Start server:

   cargo run

4. Test routes. I like to use Postman.

Run Locally using Docker

1. Run API via Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up

2. Test routes. I like to use Postman.
