Rust-to-do-app

This is a full-stack to-do application built using Rust for the backend and Next.js for the frontend. The application allows users to create, read, update, and delete to-do items.

Features

• Create To-Do: Add new to-do items.
• Read To-Do: View all to-do items.
• Update To-Do: Edit existing to-do items.
• Delete To-Do: Remove to-do items.
• Search To-Do: Search for specific to-do items.
• Toggle Completion: Mark to-do items as completed or not completed.

Technologies Used

• Backend: Rust, Actix-web, MongoDB
• Frontend: Next.js, React, Axios, Date-fns, React-icons

Why Rust?

Rust was chosen for the backend of this application for several reasons:

• Performance: Rust is known for its high performance and efficiency, making it ideal for backend services that require fast response times.
• Memory Safety: Rust's ownership model ensures memory safety without needing a garbage collector, reducing the risk of memory leaks and other bugs.
• Concurrency: Rust's concurrency model makes it easier to write safe and efficient concurrent code, which is beneficial for handling multiple requests in a web server.
• Ecosystem: Rust has a growing ecosystem with libraries like Actix-web, which provides a powerful and flexible framework for building web applications.

Usage

• Add To-Do: Enter a to-do item in the input field and click "Add".
• Edit To-Do: Click the edit icon next to a to-do item, modify the text, and click "Update".
• Delete To-Do: Click the delete icon next to a to-do item.
• Toggle Completion: Click the checkbox next to a to-do item to mark it as completed or not completed.
• Search To-Do: Enter a search term in the search input field and click "Search".
