This is a boilerplate project made using best practices for getting started quickly in a new project. I made this for myself but maybe it will help someone else. Pull requests and discussions on best practices welcome!
Install a few external dependencies and make sure ~/.cargo/bin is in your $PATH:
cargo install diesel_cli
cargo install watchexec
Set up your environment by sourcing local_env.sh.
source local_env.sh
For every new shell you need to source this file and you're good to go.
Make sure you have a working local postgres setup. Your current user should be
admin in your development postgres installation and it should use the "peer" or
"trust" auth methods (see pg_hba.conf).
Now you can launch the watch.sh script which helps you quickly iterate. It
will remove and recreate the DB and run the migrations and then the tests on
all code changes.
./watch.sh
