Question 1

How do I create a scheduled job with summer-rs?

Accepted Answer

Use the summer-job plugin with macros like cron, fix_delay, or fix_rate as shown in the README example. Define your async function with the macro, add JobPlugin to your app, and configure it via TOML for timing.

Question 2

summer-rs or Axum alone: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

summer-rs builds on Axum but adds a convention-over-configuration layer and plugin system for productivity. Choose summer-rs if you want Spring Boot-like ease; use Axum directly for more control and minimal dependencies.

Question 3

Is summer-rs production ready?

Accepted Answer

With version 0.4, it's still in active development, so while it's usable for projects, expect potential breaking changes. Evaluate based on your risk tolerance and check the plugin stability for critical features.

Question 4

How to add custom plugins to summer-rs?

Accepted Answer

Implement the Plugin trait and use the component macro for automatic registration, as demonstrated in the README. You can extend functionality by creating crates that integrate with summer-rs's core system.

Question 5

Does summer-rs support WebSockets?

Accepted Answer

Not directly mentioned in the core plugins; you might need to use Axum's WebSocket support manually or create a custom plugin. The summer-web plugin is based on Axum, which has WebSocket capabilities.

Question 6

What databases are supported by summer-rs?

Accepted Answer

Through plugins like summer-sqlx for SQL databases, summer-postgres for PostgreSQL, and summer-sea-orm for ORM, it supports multiple backends. Check each plugin's documentation for specific database compatibility.

Question 7

How to handle authentication in summer-rs?

Accepted Answer

Use the summer-sa-token plugin for Sa-Token-based auth, or integrate other Rust libraries by building custom plugins. The plugin system allows flexibility but requires setup for non-standard auth methods.
