Turso + Actix
Set up Turso in your Actix project in minutes
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you:
- Install the Turso CLI
- Sign up or login to Turso
- Have an Actix app — learn more
1
Retrieve database credentials
You will need an existing database to continue. If you don’t have one, create one.
Get the database URL:
turso db show --url <database-name>
Get the database authentication token:
turso db tokens create <database-name>
Assign credentials to the environment variables inside .env.
TURSO_DATABASE_URL=
TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN=
You will want to store these as environment variables.
2
Add the libsql crate to the project
cargo add libsql
Optionally, you can add a package such as dotenvy to help you work with .env files:
cargo add dotenvy
3
Execute SQL
#[tokio::main]
#[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
HttpServer::new(|| App::new().route("/", web::get().to(index)).route("/items", web::get().to(get_items)))
.bind(("127.0.0.1", 8080))?
.run()
.await
}
async fn get_items() -> Result<HttpResponse, Error> {
dotenv().expect(".env file not found");
let db_url = env::var("TURSO_DATABASE_URL").unwrap();
let auth_token = env::var("TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN").unwrap();
let db_file = env::var("LOCAL_DB").unwrap();
let db = Builder::new_remote_replica(db_file, url, auth_token)
.read_your_writes(true)
.build()
.await
.unwrap();
let conn = db.connect().unwrap();
let mut results = conn.query("SELECT * FROM items", ()).await.unwrap();
let mut items: Vec<T> = Vec::new();
while let Some(row) = results.next().await.unwrap() {
let item: Item = Item {
task: row.get(0).unwrap(),
};
items.push(item);
}
Ok(HttpResponse::Ok().json(items))
}
