Auth-rs

A minimal authentication / authorization server using Rust, Hyper, Postgres, and async/await .

I didn't easily find any ready-made examples that do just that, so here's one.

Features

• Register users with email/password
• Get an exsisting user / Check if an email is already taken
• Login / Logout with email/password
• Access / modify protected resources: one example included: creating posts that belong to a user

and also:

• Great performance and minimal footprint thanks to Rust, Hyper, tokio and async/await syntax
• Users database using Postgres

Limitations

• As of now, this example is usable for writing API routes in Rust (i.e. starting from this code and extending). Usage with an other stack might be possible but wasn't yet taken into consideration for this project.

Usage

Prerequisites

• Docker daemon running
• Rust 1.38+

Starting the server

Run make

Testing

Test requests are included in the makefile (using curl)

• Register a user using make users/register
• Check if an email is already taken using make users/check
• Login using make users/login
• Access a dummy protected route using make protected
• Create a post belonging to a user using make posts/create

TODO and contributing

Don't hesitate to file a bug, request a feature, or simply comment using issues.

If you want to help here's a few useful tasks I have in mind for this project:

• Email verification and email invitations
• CI
• example deployment instructions
• Write a tutorial to re-create this repo from scratch
