Rust (Axum)

Quick start

tinkerise backend rust my-rust-service --no-git

When to use

Use rust when you want a high-performance backend service scaffolded around Axum patterns.

Prerequisites

• Rust rustc >=1.78
• cargo-generate installed through cargo install cargo-generate

First run after scaffold

cd my-rust-service
cargo check
cargo run

Unified flags

• --no-git -> --init

Framework-specific behavior

• tinkerise delegates to cargo generate.
• Two-level prerequisite checks validate Rust runtime plus cargo-generate.
• Passthrough args are supported.
• --no-git maps to cargo generate --init when you want to avoid repository initialization.
• You can pass template-specific native args directly to control generation details.

Generated output

You get a Rust web-service template (Axum-oriented) generated through cargo-generate, typically including:

• Cargo.toml and lockfile-ready dependency setup
• src/ structure with router and server entrypoint files
• Config and middleware starter patterns from the selected template
• Project layout ready for cargo check, cargo run, and iterative development
