gus will be a general solution for setting up a REST-ful webserver with a database backend.
The idea is that the defined models (json) will be parsed and used by the model-layer (model controller view). The controller, the actual webserver, will serve the REST-API for them.
There will be a fully functional view layer as well, but first I need to enhance my frontend skills.
In the end, gus would be a nice and simple binary tool for private or whatever use. Of course I will try to make it as customizable and convenient as possible.
During development, until gus is ready for release, I serve the current release binaries of the latest commit on the separate branch debug-binaries for testing on Linux, Mac and Windows.
So feel free to try the current state.
Of course you can compile them by yourself for your OS.
Simply run:
cargo install --git https://github.com/qwerdenkerXD/gus
I also host an example webserver with the movie model from testing on Replit.
Testing Hint: The REST-API has currently no model name inflection implemented, so to test the current CRUD-one functions, access them via e.g. endpoint /api/rest/<model-name>/<id> or for POST without the ID.
