Sharenet

A full-stack application for managing users and products, built with Rust and Next.js.

Project Overview

Sharenet is a modern web application that demonstrates clean architecture principles and provides multiple interfaces for data management:

• Web Interface: Modern React-based UI with Next.js
• API: RESTful HTTP API built with Rust and Axum
• CLI: Command-line interface for automation
• TUI: Text-based user interface for terminal users

Tech Stack

Backend

• Language: Rust
• Framework: Axum (HTTP), Clap (CLI), Ratatui (TUI)
• Database: PostgreSQL (with in-memory option)
• Architecture: Clean Architecture with domain-driven design

Frontend

• Framework: Next.js 15.3.3
• Language: TypeScript
• UI Library: React 19
• Styling: Tailwind CSS with shadcn/ui components
• Form Handling: React Hook Form with Zod validation

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable)
• Node.js (latest LTS)
• PostgreSQL (optional, in-memory storage available)
• SQLx CLI (for database migrations)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone git@git.gcdo.org:devteam/sharenet.git
cd sharenet

2. Set up the backend:

# Install SQLx CLI
cargo install sqlx-cli

# Create and set up the database (if using PostgreSQL)
sqlx database create
sqlx migrate run

# Build the backend
cd backend
cargo build

3. Set up the frontend:

cd frontend
npm install

Running the Application

1. Start the backend (choose one):

# API with in-memory storage
cargo run --bin sharenet-api-memory

# API with PostgreSQL
cargo run --bin sharenet-api-postgres

# CLI with in-memory storage
cargo run --bin sharenet-cli-memory

# TUI with in-memory storage
cargo run --bin sharenet-tui-memory

2. Start the frontend:

cd frontend
npm run dev

The web interface will be available at http://localhost:3000.

See frontend/README.md for detailed frontend development instructions.

Configuration

Backend Configuration

Configuration files are located in backend/config/:

• api-memory.env - API server with in-memory storage
• api-postgres.env - API server with PostgreSQL storage
• cli-memory.env - CLI with in-memory storage
• cli-postgres.env - CLI with PostgreSQL storage
• tui-memory.env - TUI with in-memory storage
• tui-postgres.env - TUI with PostgreSQL storage

Frontend Configuration

The frontend is configured to connect to the backend at http://127.0.0.1:3000 by default. Update frontend/src/lib/api.ts if your backend is running on a different address.
