RecipeFinder

A sample client/server application for Rust and Angular

Database

The recipe finder database has a very simple recipe storage and is perfect for small example applications. This is currently available as a MS SQL Server database but could easily be converted over to other open-source database types.

Server

The backing server for this application is a Rust based web server. There are plenty of comments and examples of how to set up a rust web server with routes, authorization, response codes, and response bodies. Rust was chosen as the server language due to it's processing speed and memory safety guarentees.

HTTPS/TLS configuration

Make sure to download the "makecrt" executable from: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases

Run the following command to install this in the root store:

mkcert -install

If you want to generate your own cert/private key file, then run:

mkcert 127.0.0.1 localhost

This will make two .pem files in the same directory as the "mkcert" executable. Rename the "127.0.0.1+1.pem" file to "cert" and put at the root of the /server folder. Rename the "127.0.0.1+1-key.pem" file to "key" and put at the root of the /server folder.

Client

The client application is an Angular front-end. This was chosen due to familiarity with the Angular framework and community.
