I tried to create a simple embed HTTP server in Rust using Actix Web for the Desktop Tauri app. However, I found a lot of problems and unable to perform a simple file upload operation and have Websocket without extra dependencies. None of the stackoverflow solution worked for me.

May be I am a Django Guy and found difficult to use Actix Web which may be my skill issue. So I thought to create my own web framework in Rust for embed projects.

Here's github link: https://github.com/tejmagar/rusty-web/

It is same like a Django's functional approach.

use rusty_web::paths::{Path, Paths};
use rusty_web::request::Request;
use rusty_web::response::Response;
use rusty_web::server::run_server;

fn home(request: Request, mut response: Response) {
    response.html(200, "Home Page".to_string()).send();
}

fn about(request: Request, mut response: Response) {
    response.html(200, "About Us".to_string()).send();
}

fn main() {
    let paths: Paths = vec![
        Path::new("/".to_string(), home),
        Path::new("/about/".to_string(), about),
    ];

    run_server("0.0.0.0:8080", paths);
}

I will be using this for my personal projects. Leave your suggestions to make this project better.

I tried this

fn home(request: Request, mut response: Response) {
    response.json(200, "{'hey': 2}".to_string()).send();
}

Curious, how to you do JSON ?
