Real World Project Case Study Campus Modern Web(1751345249734700)

As a junior student learning web development, there was always a huge gap between theoretical knowledge and actual projects. It wasn’t until I used this Rust framework to complete a comprehensive campus second-hand trading platform project that I truly understood the essence of modern web development. This project not only helped me master the framework but also gave me the joy of developing high-performance web applications.

Project Background: Campus Second-Hand Trading Platform

I chose to develop a campus second-hand trading platform as my course design project. This platform needed to support user registration/login, product publishing, real-time chat, payment integration, image upload, and other features. The technical requirements included:

  • Support for 1000+ concurrent users
  • Real-time message push
  • Image processing and storage
  • User authentication and authorization
  • Database transaction processing
  • Third-party payment integration

Project Architecture Design

Based on this framework, I designed a clear project architecture:

use hyperlane::*;
use hyperlane_macros::*;
use sqlx::{PgPool, Row};
use redis::aio::Connection as RedisConnection;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use uuid::Uuid;
use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};

// Core data models
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::FromRow)]
struct User {
    id: Uuid,
    username: String,
    email: String,
    phone: Option<String>,
    avatar_url: Option<String>,
    created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::FromRow)]
struct Product {
    id: Uuid,
    seller_id: Uuid,
    title: String,
    description: String,
    price: i64, // Store in cents
    category: String,
    condition: ProductCondition,
    images: Vec<String>,
    status: ProductStatus,
    created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::Type)]
#[sqlx(type_name = "product_condition", rename_all = "lowercase")]
enum ProductCondition {
    New,
    LikeNew,
    Good,
    Fair,
    Poor,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::Type)]
#[sqlx(type_name = "product_status", rename_all = "lowercase")]
enum ProductStatus {
    Available,
    Sold,
    Reserved,
    Deleted,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::FromRow)]
struct Order {
    id: Uuid,
    buyer_id: Uuid,
    seller_id: Uuid,
    product_id: Uuid,
    amount: i64,
    status: OrderStatus,
    payment_method: String,
    created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::Type)]
#[sqlx(type_name = "order_status", rename_all = "lowercase")]
enum OrderStatus {
    Pending,
    Paid,
    Shipped,
    Delivered,
    Cancelled,
    Refunded,
}

// Application state management
#[derive(Clone)]
struct AppState {
    db_pool: PgPool,
    redis_pool: deadpool_redis::Pool,
    jwt_secret: String,
    upload_dir: String,
}

impl AppState {
    async fn new() -> Result<Self, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
        let database_url = std::env::var("DATABASE_URL")?;
        let redis_url = std::env::var("REDIS_URL")?;
        let jwt_secret = std::env::var("JWT_SECRET")?;
        let upload_dir = std::env::var("UPLOAD_DIR").unwrap_or_else(|_| "uploads".to_string());

        let db_pool = PgPool::connect(&database_url).await?;

        let redis_config = deadpool_redis::Config::from_url(redis_url);
        let redis_pool = redis_config.create_pool(Some(deadpool_redis::Runtime::Tokio1))?;

        // Ensure upload directory exists
        tokio::fs::create_dir_all(&upload_dir).await?;

        Ok(Self {
            db_pool,
            redis_pool,
            jwt_secret,
            upload_dir,
        })
    }
}

// Global state
static mut APP_STATE: Option<AppState> = None;

fn get_app_state() -> &'static AppState {
    unsafe {
        APP_STATE.as_ref().expect("App state not initialized")
    }
}

async fn init_app_state() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let state = AppState::new().await?;
    unsafe {
        APP_STATE = Some(state);
    }
    Ok(())
}

User Authentication System Implementation

I implemented a complete JWT authentication system:

use jsonwebtoken::{encode, decode, Header, Algorithm, Validation, EncodingKey, DecodingKey};
use bcrypt::{hash, verify, DEFAULT_COST};

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Claims {
    sub: String, // User ID
    username: String,
    exp: usize, // Expiration time
}

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct LoginRequest {
    username: String,
    password: String,
}

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct RegisterRequest {
    username: String,
    email: String,
    password: String,
    phone: Option<String>,
}

#[post]
async fn register(ctx: Context) {
    let body = ctx.get_request_body().await;
    let request: RegisterRequest = match serde_json::from_slice(&body) {
        Ok(req) => req,
        Err(_) => {
            ctx.set_response_status_code(400).await;
            ctx.set_response_body("Invalid JSON").await;
            return;
        }
    };

    let state = get_app_state();

    // Check if username and email already exist
    let existing_user = sqlx::query!(
        "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username = $1 OR email = $2",
        request.username,
        request.email
    )
    .fetch_optional(&state.db_pool)
    .await;

    match existing_user {
        Ok(Some(_)) => {
            ctx.set_response_status_code(409).await;
            ctx.set_response_body("Username or email already exists").await;
            return;
        }
        Ok(None) => {
            // Create new user
            let user_id = Uuid::new_v4();
            let password_hash = match hash(&request.password, DEFAULT_COST) {
                Ok(hash) => hash,
                Err(_) => {
                    ctx.set_response_status_code(500).await;
                    ctx.set_response_body("Password hashing failed").await;
                    return;
                }
            };

            let result = sqlx::query!(
                r#"
                INSERT INTO users (id, username, email, phone, password_hash, created_at, updated_at)
                VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7)
                "#,
                user_id,
                request.username,
                request.email,
                request.phone,
                password_hash,
                Utc::now(),
                Utc::now()
            )
            .execute(&state.db_pool)
            .await;

            match result {
                Ok(_) => {
                    // Generate JWT token
                    let token = generate_jwt_token(user_id, &request.username, &state.jwt_secret);

                    ctx.set_response_body(response.to_string()).await;
                }
                Err(e) => {

        }
    }
}

fn generate_jwt_token(user_id: Uuid, username: &str, secret: &str) -> String {
    let expiration = chrono::Utc::now()
        .checked_add_signed(chrono::Duration::hours(24))
        .expect("valid timestamp")
        .timestamp() as usize;

    let claims = Claims {
        sub: user_id.to_string(),
        username: username.to_string(),
        exp: expiration,
    };

    encode(
        &Header::default(),
        &claims,
        &EncodingKey::from_secret(secret.as_ref()),
    )
    .expect("JWT encoding failed")
}

async fn auth_middleware(ctx: Context) {
    let auth_header = ctx.get_request_header("Authorization").await;

    match auth_header {
        Some(header) if header.starts_with("Bearer ") => {
            let token = &header[7..];
            let state = get_app_state();

            match decode::<Claims>(
                token,
                &DecodingKey::from_secret(state.jwt_secret.as_ref()),
                &Validation::new(Algorithm::HS256),

    public_routes.iter().any(|&route| uri.starts_with(route))
}

Image Upload Functionality

I implemented secure image upload and processing functionality:

use image::{ImageFormat, DynamicImage};
use tokio::fs;

#[post]
async fn upload_image(ctx: Context) {
    let authenticated = ctx.get_attribute::<bool>("authenticated").await.unwrap_or(false);
    if !authenticated {
        ctx.set_response_status_code(401).await;
        ctx.set_response_body("Authentication required").await;
        return;
    }

    let content_type = ctx.get_request_header("Content-Type").await.unwrap_or_default();
    if !content_type.starts_with("image/") {
        ctx.set_response_status_code(400).await;
        ctx.set_response_body("Only image files are allowed").await;
        return;
    }

    let image_data = ctx.get_request_body().await;
    if image_data.len() > 5 * 1024 * 1024 { // 5MB limit
        ctx.set_response_status_code(413).await;
        ctx.set_response_body("Image too large").await;
        return;
    }

    let state = get_app_state();
    let user_id = ctx.get_attribute::<String>("user_id").await.unwrap();

    match process_and_save_image(&image_data, &user_id, &state.upload_dir).await {
        Ok(image_urls) => {
            let response = serde_json::json!({
                "original": image_urls.original,
                "thumbnail": image_urls.thumbnail,
                "medium": image_urls.medium
            });

            ctx.set_response_header(CONTENT_TYPE, APPLICATION_JSON).await;
            ctx.set_response_status_code(200).await;
            ctx.set_response_body(response.to_string()).await;
        }
        Err(e) => {
            eprintln!("Image processing error: {}", e);
            ctx.set_response_status_code(500).await;
            ctx.set_response_body("Image processing failed").await;
        }
    }
}

struct ImageUrls {
    original: String,
    thumbnail: String,
    medium: String,
}

async fn process_and_save_image(
    image_data: &[u8],
    user_id: &str,
    upload_dir: &str,
) -> Result<ImageUrls, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Validate image format
    let img = image::load_from_memory(image_data)?;
    let format = image::guess_format(image_data)?;

    // Generate filename
    let timestamp = chrono::Utc::now().timestamp_millis();
    let file_id = format!("{}_{}", user_id, timestamp);
    let extension = match format {
        ImageFormat::Jpeg => "jpg",
        ImageFormat::Png => "png",
        ImageFormat::WebP => "webp",
        _ => "jpg",
    };

    // Create user directory
    let user_dir = format!("{}/{}", upload_dir, user_id);
    fs::create_dir_all(&user_dir).await?;

    // Save original image
    let original_filename = format!("{}.{}", file_id, extension);
    let original_path = format!("{}/{}", user_dir, original_filename);
    fs::write(&original_path, image_data).await?;

    // Generate thumbnail (150x150)
    let thumbnail = img.thumbnail(150, 150);
    let thumbnail_filename = format!("{}_thumb.{}", file_id, extension);
    let thumbnail_path = format!("{}/{}", user_dir, thumbnail_filename);
    thumbnail.save(&thumbnail_path)?;

    // Generate medium size image (800x600)
    let medium = img.thumbnail(800, 600);
    let medium_filename = format!("{}_medium.{}", file_id, extension);
    let medium_path = format!("{}/{}", user_dir, medium_filename);
    medium.save(&medium_path)?;

    Ok(ImageUrls {
        original: format!("/uploads/{}/{}", user_id, original_filename),
        thumbnail: format!("/uploads/{}/{}", user_id, thumbnail_filename),
        medium: format!("/uploads/{}/{}", user_id, medium_filename),
    })
}
