product-service-bestbuy

This is a Rust app that simulates a product catalog. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the store-front and store-admin apps.

This app is a simple REST API that allows you to get a list of products, get a single product, update a product, and add a product.

Products are loaded into memory and not persisted. So if the app is restarted, the products will be reloaded.

Running the app locally

The app does not rely on any other services, so you can run it locally without any other services running.

Prerequisites

• Rust

Running the app

To run the app, clone the repo, open a terminal, and navigate to the product-service directory. Then run the following command:

cargo run

When the app is running, you should see output similar to the following:

    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.16s
     Running `target/debug/product-service`
Listening on http://0.0.0.0:3002

[2023-06-28T02:44:47Z INFO  actix_server::server] Actix runtime found; starting in Actix runtime

Using the test-product-service.http file in the root of the repo, you can test the API. However, you will need to use VS Code and have the REST Client extension installed.
