Rocket Messenger App
Rust server using Rocket, WS-RS, Diesel, PostgreSQL, and Docker to support a real-time messaging app
Running the Server
Install Docker and run the command docker-compose up.
Or, run the server directly with cargo run (use nightly Rust). To do this you must have Postgres running locally and provide a DATABASE_URL environment variable for Diesel to connect to Postgres. For instance:
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/ rustup run nightly cargo run
Running Tests
To run the project unit tests run cargo test.
To run integration tests run the script scripts/test.sh. This will build a release of the Rocket server and run it with docker compose, and then run a test suite against the live server. The integration tests live in the integration/ directory.
Continuous Integration
Continuous integration setup with CircleCI (see .circleci/config.yml).
Deploy
Deployed with Heroku using the Heroku Rust buildpack.
Frontend
Built with React Native: https://github.com/bonham000/messenger-app.
Todo
- Get integration tests to run in CI.
- Figure out why websockets doesn't work in deployment.
