loco.rs
Loco is "Rust on Rails".
Loco is strongly inspired by Rails. If you know Rails and Rust, you'll feel at home. If you only know Rails and new to Rust, you'll find Loco refreshing. We do not assume you know Rails.
To work with Loco, you need to know Rust to a beginner-moderate level. There are no crazy lifetime twisters and most of the development will be linear: request handling, workers, tasks, etc.
$ cargo install loco-cliNow you can create your new app (choose "Saas app").
$ loco new
❯ App name? [myapp]:
❯ Saas app (with DB and user auth)
Stateless service (minimal, no db)
🚂 Loco app generated successfully in:
myapp
To configure a database , please run a local postgres database with
loco:loco and a db named loco_app.
You can use Docker to run a Postgres instance:
$ docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_USER=loco -e POSTGRES_DB=loco_app -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="loco" postgres:15.3-alpine
Now cd into your myapp and start your app:
$ cd myapp
$ cargo loco start
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 21.63s
Running `target/debug/myapp start`
