Instructions

NOTE:

You may need to ensure that you are running the commands with the correct MySQL user/password.

1. Access MySQL Server

   Log in to the MySQL Server using a user account that has the CREATE DATABASE privilege.

2. Create database

   CREATE DATABASE my_bank;
   

3. Create tables in the database

   Directory "mysql\sql" contains below listed ".sql" files:

   • bankdetails.sql
   • branch_details.sql
   • teller_details.sql
   • customer_details.sql

   Copy the contents of each of the ".sql" and execute them separately on MySQL Server. This will create four tables in the database.

4. Create .env file:

   SERVER_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8080
   MYSQL_USER=XXX
   MYSQL_PASSWORD=XXX
   MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
   MYSQL_PORT=3306
   MYSQL_DBNAME=my_bank
   

   Update "MYSQL_USER" and "MYSQL_PASSWORD" values with the correct MySQL user/password. If your password contains dollar sign "$", then remember to escape it eg "123$abc" will need to be changed to "123\$abc"

5. Run the server:

   cargo run
   

6. Using a different terminal send an HTTP GET/POST requests to the running server:

   Directory "mysql\apis" contains below listed api's files:

   • addbank.txt
   • addbranch.txt
   • addteller.txt
   • addcustomer.txt
   • getbank.txt
   • getbranch.txt
   • getteller.txt
   • getcustomer.txt

   Copy the curl request on each of the ".txt" and execute them on separate terminals. Each ".txt" contains curl request and expected json reponse data.
