Rocket Todo Example

This example makes use of a SQLite database via diesel to store todo tasks. As a result, you'll need to have sqlite3 and its headers installed:

• OS X: brew install sqlite
• Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
• Arch: pacman -S sqlite

Running

Before running, building, or testing this example, you'll need to ensure the following:

1. A SQLite database file with the proper schema is present.

On a Unix machine or with bash installed, you can simply run the
`boostrap.sh` script to create the database. The script installs the
`diesel_cli` tools if they're not already installed and runs the migrations.
The script will output a `DATABASE_URL` variable.

You can also run the migrations manually with the following commands:

```
cargo install diesel_cli                      # install diesel CLI tools
mkdir db                                      # create db folder
DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql diesel migration run   # create db/db.sql
```

2. A DATABASE_URL environment variable is set that points to the SQLite database file.

   Use the DATABASE_URL variable emitted from the bootstrap.sh script, or enter it manually, as follows:

   • DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql cargo build
   • DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql cargo test
   • DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql cargo run
