## Code Structure
Almost all of the rust code is either auto-generated or "glue" between the
swagger API spec on one side and the SQL schema on the other.
- `./migrations/*/up.sql`: SQL schema
- `./src/database_schema.rs`: autogenerated per-table Diesel schemas
- `./src/database_models.rs`: hand- and macro-generated Rust structs matching
Diesel schemas, and a small number of row-level helpers
- `./src/api_entity_crud.rs`: "struct-relational-mapping"; trait
implementations of CRUD (create, read, update, delete) actions for each
entity model, hitting the database (and building on `database_model` structs)
- `./src/api_server.rs`: one function for each API endpoint, with rust-style
arguments and return types. mostly calls in to `api_entity_crud`.
- `./src/api_wrappers.rs`: hand- and macro-generated wrapper functions, one per
API endpoint, that map between API request and return types, and
rust-idiomatic request and return types (plus API models).
- `./fatcat-api-spec`: autogenerated API models and endpoint types/signatures
- `../fatcat-openapi2.yaml`: OpenAPI 2 specification of API models and
endpoints
When deciding to use this structure, it wasn't expected that either
`api_wrappers.rs` or `database_models.rs` would need to hand-maintained; both
are verbose and implemented in a very mechanical fashion. The return type
mapping in `api_wrappers` might be necessary, but `database_models.rs` in
particular feels unnecessary; other projects have attempted to completely
automate generation of this file, but it doesn't sound reliable. In particular,
both regular "Row" (queriable) and "NewRow" (insertable) structs need to be
defined.
## Test Structure
- `./tests/test_api_server.rs`: Iron (web framework) level raw HTTP JSON
request/response tests of API endpoints.
## Updating Schemas
Regenerate API schemas after editing the fatcat-openapi2 schema. This will, as
a side-effect, also run `cargo fmt` on the whole project, so don't run it with
your editor open!
cargo install cargo-swagger # uses docker
./codegen_openapi2.sh
Update Rust database schema (after changing raw SQL schema):
diesel database reset
diesel print-schema > src/database_schema.rs
Debug SQL schema errors (if diesel commands fail):
psql fatcat_test < migrations/2018-05-12-001226_init/up.sql
## Direct API Interaction
Creating entities via API:
http --json post localhost:9411/v0/container name=asdf issn=1234-5678
## Authentication
Uses macaroons. See `notes/auth.md` and maybe look in the guide.
