Pokédex Starter Template

This is a starter template - which will get you going for the start. It is built up by the more commonly known Model-View-Controller pattern.

It currently consists of four modules:

• model.rs: Consists of structs, that represent your internal data representation.
• view.rs: Consists of structs, that define how the data is represented to the outside world. In a server context, this is the json incoming via a POST,PATCH, or getting returned by a e.g. GET. Your view gets transformed into your models and vice versa.
• controller.rs: The handlers, called from the Axum router and handling the logic. Here you can extract the json ( view) coming in - and also have access to your shared state, like our hashmap database, that store your models. The controller usually also maps the model back to a view.
• main.rs: The main entry point of you web server, or rust executable in general. All the other modules are referenced here.

In a real world scenario you would have a real database and not just a hashmap. But for our learning purpose that will suffice.

If you are fast enough - you can exchange it with an e.g. SQlite database (have a look here).

Building

To build the solution, just type in cargo build, as you should know by now.

Running

To run the webserver, which offers its endpoints in 127.0.0.1:3000, you can just type in cargo run. The starting endpoint could be fetched via

curl -i -X GET "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:3000/some-route/42

which should return a

{"some_field": "some_value"}
