Calendar Server Example

A simple Rust web server using Hyper that exposes an /all_calendars endpoint.

Running the server

# Navigate to the examples directory
cd /path/to/examples

# Build and run the server
cargo run

Once the server is running, you can access the endpoint at:

• http://127.0.0.1:8080/all_calendars

Features

• Simple HTTP server using Hyper
• Single endpoint that returns "Hello World"

Sure thing! Here’s the Markdown version you can copy-paste directly into your README.md:

🔁 Live Reload (Hot Reload for Development)

To automatically recompile and restart your example server on file changes (e.g. Rust code, templates, Rhai scripts), you can use cargo-watch:

✅ Step 1: Install cargo-watch

cargo install cargo-watch

✅ Step 2: Run the server with live reload

cargo watch -x 'run --example server'

This will: • Watch for file changes in your project • Rebuild and re-run examples/server.rs whenever you make a change

🧠 Bonus: Watch additional folders

To also reload when .tera templates or .rhai scripts change:

cargo watch -w src -w examples -w src/templates -w src/scripts -x 'run --example server'

💡 Optional: Clear terminal on each reload

cargo watch -c -x 'run --example server'
