Mira

Mira is a taggable image-board implemented in Rust with a React front-end.

Building and Running

The backend API is written in Rust, and depends on a running PostgreSQL instance. Start by exporting a DATABASE_URL environment variable. If you don't already have the diesel_cli, install it with

$ cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

Then, go ahead and run the set up and migrations with

$ diesel setup
$ diesel migration run

Once the database is set up, you should be able to run the backend server with

$ cargo run

The frontend is built with React in JavaScript, so ensure you have node and npm installed, then run

$ npm install
$ npm run start

in the mira-web directory. There should be no extra set up necessary for the frontend and backend to communicate with one another.
