Part 2:Processing Data and Managing Displays

Now that we can build applications in Rust, we need to be able to handle HTTP requests. By the end of this part, you will know how to handle HTTP requests and route them. You will also be able to extract data from the request body and header. You will also structure the application so routing can scale and implement middleware to process and route HTTP requests before the view is loaded. Finally, you will understand how to display content in the browser by directly serving HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the server. We will also explore a basic React application and wrap it in Electron to have a desktop application to talk to our Rust server. At this point, you will have learned everything to run a basic application without a proper database or authentication.

This part includes the following chapters:

• Chapter 3, Handling HTTP Requests
• Chapter 4, Processing HTTP Requests
• Chapter 5, Displaying Content in the Browser
