Rust Rest Framework

An attempt to make building a simple CRUD API in Rust as mindless as Django Rest Framework makes it for Django apps.

🚧 Work in progress. The end goal of this is to be a library that makes it possible to derive the equivalent of a DRF ModelViewSet for a Rust struct.

For now, this is just an exploration into what the output of that derive might be.

Roadmap

This is just an estimate of things that might someday happen:

• [ ] Build the output manually once to see what it might be like
• [ ] Abstract common functionality into traits backed by actix-web and sea-query traits
• [ ] Build derive macros that will derive all the required traits from a struct
• [ ] Further abstract the database backend, so we are not tied to sea-query
• [ ] Further abstract the web frontend, so we are not tied to actix-web
