Overview of this book

Rust 2018, Rust's first major milestone since version 1.0, brings more advancement in the Rust language. The Rust Programming Cookbook is a practical guide to help you overcome challenges when writing Rust code. This Rust book covers recipes for configuring Rust for different environments and architectural designs, and provides solutions to practical problems. It will also take you through Rust's core concepts, enabling you to create efficient, high-performance applications that use features such as zero-cost abstractions and improved memory management. As you progress, you'll delve into more advanced topics, including channels and actors, for building scalable, production-grade applications, and even get to grips with error handling, macros, and modularization to write maintainable code. You will then learn how to overcome common roadblocks when using Rust for systems programming, IoT, web development, and network programming. Finally, you'll discover what Rust 2018 has to offer for embedded programmers. By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to build fast and safe applications and services using Rust.

Rendering HTML templates

While JSON is a very human-readable format and easy to work with, many people still prefer a more interactive experience—such as websites. While this is not native to actix-web, some template engines provide seamless integration to minimize the calls required to assemble and output HTML. The major difference compared to simply delivering a static site is that template engines render variable output and Rust code into an augmented HTML page to produce content adapted to whatever the application's state is. In this recipe, we are taking a look at Yet Another Rust Template Engine (Yarte) (https://crates.io/crates/yarte) and its integration with actix-web.
