# Rust Question and Answer Web app

## Background
This is a simple [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) Web [Axum](https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/) server, so far serving a handful of [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST) [API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API) endpoints as the basis of a "Q&A" or question and answer application. The APIs supported offer basic [CRUD](https://www.codecademy.com/article/what-is-crud) functionality. Specifically, this example mirrors that which is found in the early chapters of the [Rust Web Development textbook by Bastian Gruber](https://rustwebdevelopment.com/) (except using Axum and not Warp). A frontend web server using [Yew](https://crates.io/crates/yew) is also provided to utilize the APIs

### Setup

#### Rustup
First install Rust. I suggest using the [rustup toolchain](https://rustup.rs/)

Then run 
```bash
cargo install trunk
rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown
```

Finally, run both the backend and frontend to use the application

### Using the backend crate

See [backend/README.md](./backend/README.md)

### Using the frontend crate

See [frontend/README.md](./frontend/README.md)
