Rust Web Development with Rocket

By: Karuna Murti

Overview of this book

Looking for a fast, powerful, and intuitive framework to build web applications? This Rust book will help you kickstart your web development journey and take your Rust programming skills to the next level as you uncover the power of Rocket - a fast, flexible, and fun framework powered by Rust. Rust Web Development with Rocket wastes no time in getting you up to speed with what Rust is and how to use it. You’ll discover what makes it so productive and reliable, eventually mastering all of the concepts you need to play with the Rocket framework while developing a wide set of web development skills. Throughout this book, you'll be able to walk through a hands-on project, covering everything that goes into making advanced web applications, and get to grips with the ins and outs of Rocket development, including error handling, Rust vectors, and wrappers. You'll also learn how to use synchronous and asynchronous programming to improve application performance and make processing user content easy. By the end of the book, you'll have answers to all your questions about creating a web application using the Rust language and the Rocket web framework.

Chapter 9: Displaying Users' Post

In this chapter, we are going to implement displaying user posts. Along with displaying user posts, we are going to learn about generic data types and trait bounds to group types that behave similarly and so reduce the creation of similar code. We are also going to learn about the most important part of the Rust programming language: the memory model and its terminologies. We are going to learn more about ownership, moving, copying, cloning, borrowing, and lifetime, and how we can implement those in our code.

After completing this chapter, you will understand and implement those concepts in Rust programming. Generic data types and trait bounds are useful to reduce repetitions, while the Rust memory model and concepts are arguably the most distinctive features of the Rust language and make it not only fast but one of the safest programming languages. Those concepts also make people say that Rust has a steep learning curve.
