rust

This Claude Code skill provides Rust backend patterns for building Axum web applications with structured project organization, database integration using SQLx, configuration management, and error handling. Use it when developing type-safe REST APIs, implementing database migrations, setting up middleware, organizing routes and services, or building production-ready Rust backend services with PostgreSQL databases.

## Axum Application

### Main Application

```rust
// src/main.rs
use axum::{
    routing::{get, post},
    Router,
};
use sqlx::postgres::PgPoolOptions;
use std::sync::Arc;
use tower_http::cors::CorsLayer;

mod config;
mod error;
mod routes;
mod services;
mod repositories;

use config::Config;

#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct AppState {
    pub db: sqlx::PgPool,
    pub config: Arc<Config>,
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    dotenvy::dotenv().ok();
    tracing_subscriber::init();

    let config = Config::from_env()?;

    let pool = PgPoolOptions::new()
        .max_connections(config.database.max_connections)
        .connect(&config.database.url)
        .await?;

    sqlx::migrate!().run(&pool).await?;

    let state = AppState {
        db: pool,
        config: Arc::new(config),
    };

    let app = Router::new()
        .route("/health", get(|| async { "ok" }))
        .nest("/api/users", routes::users::router())
        .with_state(state)
        .layer(CorsLayer::permissive());

    let listener = tokio::net::TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0:3000").await?;
    tracing::info!("listening on {}", listener.local_addr()?);
    axum::serve(listener, app).await?;

    Ok(())
}
```

### Configuration

```rust
// src/config.rs
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
pub struct Config {
    pub database: DatabaseConfig,
    pub jwt: JwtConfig,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
pub struct DatabaseConfig {
    pub url: String,
    #[serde(default = "default_max_connections")]
    pub max_connections: u32,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
pub struct JwtConfig {
    pub secret: String,
    #[serde(default = "default_expiry")]
    pub expiry_hours: u64,
}

fn default_max_connections() -> u32 { 10 }
fn default_expiry() -> u64 { 24 }

impl Config {
    pub fn from_env() -> Result<Self, config::ConfigError> {
        config::Config::builder()
            .add_source(config::Environment::default().separator("__"))
            .build()?
            .try_deserialize()
    }
}
```

## Error Handling

```rust
// src/error.rs
use axum::{
    http::StatusCode,
    response::{IntoResponse, Response},
    Json,
};
use serde_json::json;
use thiserror::Error;

#[derive(Error, Debug)]
pub enum AppError {
    #[error("Not found: {0}")]
    NotFound(String),

    #[error("Validation error: {0}")]
    Validation(String),

    #[error("Unauthorized")]
    Unauthorized,

    #[error("Forbidden")]
    Forbidden,

    #[error("Database error")]
    Database(#[from] sqlx::Error),

    #[error("Internal error")]
    Internal(#[from] anyhow::Error),
}

impl IntoResponse for AppError {
    fn into_response(self) -> Response {
        let (status, code, message) = match &self {
            AppError::NotFound(msg) => (StatusCode::NOT_FOUND, "NOT_FOUND", msg.clone()),
            AppError::Validation(msg) => (StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST, "VALIDATION_ERROR", msg.clone()),
            AppError::Unauthorized => (StatusCode::UNAUTHORIZED, "UNAUTHORIZED", "Unauthorized".into()),
            AppError::Forbidden => (StatusCode::FORBIDDEN, "FORBIDDEN", "Forbidden".into()),
            AppError::Database(e) => {
                tracing::error!("Database error: {:?}", e);
                (StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "DATABASE_ERROR", "Database error".into())
            }
            AppError::Internal(e) => {
                tracing::error!("Internal error: {:?}", e);
                (StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "INTERNAL_ERROR", "Internal error".into())
            }
        };

        (
            status,
            Json(json!({
                "error": {
                    "code": code,
                    "message": message
                }
            })),
        ).into_response()
    }
}

pub type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, AppError>;
```

## Models and DTOs

```rust
// src/models/user.rs
use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use sqlx::FromRow;
use uuid::Uuid;
use validator::Validate;

#[derive(Debug, FromRow, Serialize)]
pub struct User {
    pub id: Uuid,
    pub name: String,
    pub email: String,
    #[serde(skip_serializing)]
    pub password_hash: String,
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub updated_at: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Validate)]
pub struct CreateUser {
    #[validate(length(min = 2, max = 100))]
    pub name: String,
    #[validate(email)]
    pub email: String,
    #[validate(length(min = 8))]
    pub password: String,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Validate)]
pub struct UpdateUser {
    #[validate(length(min = 2, max = 100))]
    pub name: Option<String>,
    #[validate(email)]
    pub email: Option<String>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize)]
pub struct UserResponse {
    pub id: Uuid,
    pub name: String,
    pub email: String,
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

impl From<User> for UserResponse {
    fn from(user: User) -> Self {
        Self {
            id: user.id,
            name: user.name,
            email: user.email,
            created_at: user.created_at,
        }
    }
}
```

## Repository Pattern

// src/repositories/user.rs
use sqlx::PgPool;
use uuid::Uuid;
use crate::error::{AppError, Result};
use crate::models::user::{User, CreateUser,
