RustActix-Basic

This project demonstrates a full-stack application with a Rust backend using Actix-web and a React TypeScript frontend with Three.js integration. It showcases routing, request handling, CORS configuration, file logging on the backend, and an interactive 3D scene on the frontend.

Features

Backend

• Actix-web server with basic routing
• CORS configuration for frontend integration
• File logging using log4rs
• Simple API endpoints: hello, echo, and personalized greeting

Frontend

• React with TypeScript
• Three.js integration using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei
• Interactive 3D scene with customizable elements
• Dynamic HDRI environment
• Leva for easy GUI controls

Prerequisites

• macOS or Linux
• Internet connection
• Git
• Rust and Cargo
• Node.js and npm

Quick Start Guide

1. Install Rust (if not already installed)

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env

Verify installation:

rustc --version
cargo --version

2. Set Up Backend

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/C0nsumption/RustActix-Basic.git
cd RustActix-Basic

Run the backend:

cargo run

The server will start on http://localhost:8080

3. Set Up Frontend

In a new terminal, navigate to the frontend directory:

cd react-ts/
npm install
npm run dev

The frontend will be available at the URL provided by Vite (usually http://localhost:5173)

Backend API Endpoints

• GET /: Returns a "Hello, World!" message
• POST /echo: Echoes back the request body
• GET /hey/{name}: Returns a personalized greeting

Frontend Features

• Interactive 3D sphere with customizable material properties
• Dynamic HDRI environment with multiple presets
• Fog and sky simulation
• Orbit controls for camera manipulation
• GUI controls for easy customization of scene elements
• Integration with backend API for personalized greetings

Next Steps

• Implement more complex backend logic and database integration
• Enhance error handling and input validation
• Implement user authentication
• Add more interactive elements to the 3D scene
• Optimize 3D rendering performance
• Add unit and integration tests for both backend and frontend
