  1. Thanks, I was stuck but your tutorial helped me. I’m noob to rust so I would love more tutorials 🙂

  2. Thanks for the tut. One remark though:
    “Due to the nature of Rust’s ownership model, you can’t simply read and return the underlying list of groceries.”
    That’s not true, the Deref trait on Mutex allows us to do this:

    Ok(warp::reply::json(&*store.grocery_list.read()));

    Cheers 🙂

  3. Thanks for the tutorial.

    Maybe I am missing something, but it seems to me, your curl delete example is missing the id. In fact I am missing where the id path section is defined at all for get (on a single item) and put.

  4. sorry noob here, how can I solve this ?:

    error: cannot find derive macro `Deserialize` in this scope
    –> src/serve.rs:69:17
    |
    69 | #[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize, Clone)]
    | ^^^^^^^^^^^

    Thanks a lot !
