*Imagine* that you have a process that involves 3 steps. The steps here
|
|
|
|
|
are dumb in that they do nothing other than call an
|
|
|
|
|
httpbin endpoint that returns the json that was posted to it. The intent here
|
|
|
|
|
is to illustrate how to chain these steps together as futures and return
|
|
|
|
|
a final result in a response.

Actix-web features illustrated here include:

|
1. handling json input param
|
|
|
|
|
2. validating user-submitted parameters using the 'validator' crate
|
|
|
|
|
2. actix-web client features:
|
|
|
|
|
- POSTing json body
|
|
|
|
|
3. chaining futures into a single response used by an asynch endpoint

Example query from the command line using httpie:
|
|
|
|
|
```http post 127.0.0.1:8088/something id=1 name=JohnDoe```
