webserver

CaBr2 Webserver

This is the CaBr2 REST webserver. It is a complete implementation of the CaBr2 logic as REST API for use in the web app and possible mobile apps.

In the src/impl folder there is the glue code for the CaBr2 logic.

The webserver is written in rust with warp.

Build

In order to build the webserver you must first install rust.

If you want to generate PDFs have a look at the wkhtmltopdf section in the frontend README

The webserver will be built with all features enabled by default with the following command:

cargo build --release

If you only want specific features use the following command and add a space separated list of the features you want after --features:

cargo build --no-default-features --features "portable pdf"

These features are available:

Name	Explanation
portable	the config and all required assets are located in the same folder as the binary
beryllium	the Beryllium10 file reader
cabr2	load and save CaBr2 files
pdf	export the safety data sheet as PDF
gestis	search for substances in the Gestis database

Code Checking

We use clippy for linting and cargo fmt to check the formatting of the code:

cargo fmt
cargo lint # alias for our very restrictive clippy command
