Temporal Rust Project Template

This is a simple project for demonstrating Temporal with the Rust SDK and Actix Web server.

It is derived from sismilar Go example.

The full 20-minute Go tutorial is here: https://learn.temporal.io/getting_started/go/first_program_in_go/

Basic instructions

Step 0: Clone this Repository

In another terminal instance, clone this repo and run this application.

git clone https://github.com/ivan-mudrak/money-transfer-project-template-rust
cd money-transfer-project-template-rust

Step 1: Run Temporal Server

From the root of the project:

docker-compose up

Leave it running. You can use the Temporal Web UI at localhost:8080 which is currently in Beta. To use the legacy Temporal Web UI, use the localhost:8088 URL instead. There should be no workflows visible in the dashboard right now.

Step 2: Start Actix Web server

cargo run --bin main

It will start web-server on localhost:800.

Step 3: Run the Worker

In ANOTHER terminal instance, run the worker. Notice that this worker hosts both Workflow and Activity functions.

cargo run --bin worker

Step 4: Execute workflow

In YET ANOTHER terminal instance, send post request using curl.

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8000/transfer' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "source_account": "11-11",
    "target_account": "22-22",
    "amount": 100
}'

Now you can see the workflow run to completion. You can also see the worker polling for workflows and activities in the task queue at http://localhost:8080/namespaces/default/task-queues/TRANSFER_MONEY_TASK_QUEUE.
