Technical requirements
For this chapter, we need to download and install Postman. We will need Postman to make API requests to our server. You can download it from https://www.postman.com/downloads/.
We will also be building on the server code we created in the previous chapter, which can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Rust-Web-Programming-2nd-Edition/tree/main/chapter03/managing_views_using_the_actix_web_framework/web_app.
You can find the full source code that will be used in this chapter here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Rust-Web-Programming-2nd-Edition/tree/main/chapter04.
Managing views code will be the basis of this chapter, and we will add features to this code base. We will be fusing this with the to-do module that we wrote in Chapter 2, Designing Your Web Application in Rust, which can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Rust-Web-Programming-2nd-Edition/tree/main/chapter02/processing_traits_and_structs.
