# diesel

Basic integration of [Diesel](https://diesel.rs/) using SQLite for Actix Web.

## Usage

### Install SQLite

```sh
# on OpenSUSE
sudo zypper install sqlite3-devel libsqlite3-0 sqlite3

# on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev sqlite3

# on Fedora
sudo dnf install libsqlite3x-devel sqlite3x

# on macOS (using homebrew)
brew install sqlite3
```

### Initialize SQLite Database

```sh
cd databases/diesel
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite

echo "DATABASE_URL=test.db" > .env
diesel migration run
```

There will now be a database file at `./test.db`.

### Running Server

```sh
cd databases/diesel
cargo run

# Started http server: 127.0.0.1:8080
```

### Available Routes

#### `POST /user`

Inserts a new user into the SQLite DB.

Provide a JSON payload with a name. Eg:
```json
{ "name": "bill" }
```

On success, a response like the following is returned:
```json
{
    "id": "9e46baba-a001-4bb3-b4cf-4b3e5bab5e97",
    "name": "bill"
}
```
