Installation

With cargo install

This method support over Rust 1.7. :

cargo install --git https://github.com/okanon/rthrift.git

From source

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/okanon/rthrift.git

2. cd rthrift; cargo build --release. The binary will now be in ./target/release/

3. Add the binary to your PATH. This can be done by moving it to a directory already in your PATH (i.e. /usr/local/bin) or by adding the ./target/release/ directory to your PATH

Overview

This crate implements the components required to build a working Thrift server and client. It is divided into the following modules:

1. errors
2. protocol
3. transport
4. server
5. autogen

The modules are layered as shown. The generated layer is code generated by the Thrift compiler's Rust plugin. It uses the components defined in this crate to serialize and deserialize types and implement RPC. Users interact with these types and services by writing their own code on top.

Thrift Rust support requires code in several directories:

• compiler/cpp/src/thrift/generate/t_rs_generator.cc: binding code generator
• lib/rs: runtime library
• lib/rs/test: supplemental tests
• tutorial/rs: tutorial client and server
• test/rs: cross-language test client and server

All library code, test code and auto-generated code compiles and passes clippy without warnings. All new code must do the same! When making changes ensure that:

• rustc does does output any warnings
• clippy with default settings does not output any warnings (includes auto-generated code)
• cargo test is successful
• make precross and make check are successful
• tutorial/bin/tutorial_client and tutorial/bin/tutorial_server communicate
