Knowledge Group Advanced Software: Rust macros

This repo contains the examples and short workshop (and possible solution) from the talk.

Notes:

Example 05 requires that you are running a postgres database, this can be started by running docker compose up in the example directory. It also requires that the DATABASE_URL environment variable is set, this can be achieved by sourcing the .env file.

To setup the schema and data in the database you can use sqlx-cli (install: cargo install sqlx-cli), to apply to migrations run:

sqlx migrate run

For the workshop in 06 several hints are giving on things that might cause trouble. To help debug the macro you can install cargo expand: cargo install cargo-expand.
