99% of the time we deal with strings which are a sequence of characters and here are the things you need to know about them when learning Rust. 1. There Are 2 Types of String in Rust: String and str… Continue Reading
Errors are a part of Software and Rust has features to terminate an application using the panic macro and handle errors gracefully with the Result enum. There are 2 types of errors – recoverable and unrecoverable. A recoverable error is… Continue Reading
The most fun Rust web framework is back with a new project leader! I feel relieved by its comeback. Today, I was trying out one of the alternatives to Actix-web. But I was having difficulties making it read and parse… Continue Reading
People have started looking for 10 alternatives to the now-defunct Actix-web since its death. Some may end up forking Actix-web and evolve it into something uniquely theirs. Others may have started porting their applications to other frameworks or even out of Rust. Continue Reading
Have you started using Actix-Web in your learning of Rust or real projects? Actix-web is now dead and no longer an open-source project. The author has moved it, along with Actix-Net, to his personal GitHub account. He is taking his… Continue Reading
Macros are like functions but only better. They are triggered based on their patterns using pattern matching for declarative Macros. They group together our codes into a unit (or units) and there are 2 types of macros in Rust – declarative and procedural. This brief post is about declarative macros. Continue Reading
At some point in learning Rust, we will encounter the need to create our own crates. They need to go through development and testing before there are published to creates.io. This brief post is about creating and using local unpublished crates. Continue Reading
Non-exhaustive structs will future-proof our codes. We use Struct expressions to instantiate structs and they’re JSON-like expression in appearance with all fields present. When we update a struct with a new field, all expressions must be updated to include that field. Continue Reading
Using non-exhaustive enums in one crate prevents codes in other crates from listing all the possible matches in a match expression. It forces developers to use wildcards for future-proofing. Continue Reading
In Rust, we can read user inputs from the command-line console. These inputs are string values with newline characters at the end. Most of the time we do not want those extra characters. This post provides 3 basic example codes… Continue Reading
