cargo-rustapi: The Architect

Lens: “The Architect” Philosophy: “Scaffolding best practices from day one.”

The CLI

The RustAPI CLI isn’t just a project generator; it’s a productivity multiplier.

Commands

• cargo rustapi new <name>: Create a new project with the perfect directory structure.
• cargo rustapi generate resource <name>: Scaffold a new API resource (Model + Handlers + Tests).
• cargo rustapi serve: Run the development server with hot reload (future feature).

Templates

The templates used by the CLI are opinionated but flexible. They enforce:

• Modular folder structure.
• Implementation of State pattern.
• Separation of Error types.
