Vertical Slice Architecture with Rust

This is an example on how to implement the Vertical Slice Architecture, plus a basic CQRS, using Rust language. It's a simplistic way to do it, only to provide a little directions on how you can do it and use it as a template to start a web api project.

Tests

You can add an RUST_LOG=debug before the command to see more informations about the tests

Running integration tests:

cargo test --package backend-api --test tests --all-features

Running unit tests:

cargo test --package backend-api --lib --all-features

Useful commands

Running the API with debug logging:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run

Create new migrations

sea-orm-cli migrate generate name_of_migration

...and then move the migration to a specific DB type folder

Updating database

The migrations are automatically runned by the application at startup but you can use:

DATABASE_URL={connection_string} sea-orm-cli migrate up

Revert a migration

DATABASE_URL={connection_string} sea-orm-cli migrate down

Generate a new entity

sea-orm-cli generate entity -s public -u {connection_string} -o ./entity/src -v
