Rust Nightly for Rocket
Once rustup is installed, configure Rust nightly as your default toolchain by running the command:
rustup default nightly
If you prefer, once we setup a project directory in the following section, you can use per-directory overrides to use the nightly version only for your Rocket project by running the following command in the directory:
rustup override set nightly
Startup
Rocket
Start Rocket using your IDE or using cargo run.
Rust has no live reloading feature. If there are any changes to the server cargo has to be restarted.
Svelte
First change to the client folder
cd client
install all npm packages npm i
do this before starting the backend server
Start Svelte with hot reload npm run dev
Or build Svelte once npm run build
Recommended IDEs
| IDE | Language |
|---|---|
| JetBrains CLion | Rust |
| JetBrains WebStorm | Svelte |
CLion offers Debugging for Rust. WebStorm doesn't have this feature but is more focused on web languages. Both can be used as a single tool for everything. Other IDEs like VSCode, Sublime or Vim can also be used but are not recommended.
