Hello World with Actix Web

This section revolves around simple Actix examples you can get quickly started with by following these 3 steps:

Initialize a new Actix project by running the shuttle init --template actix-web command
Copy pasting the contents of the example you want to deploy — make sure to check the tabs of the snippet(s) to ensure you are copying the right code/file
Running the shuttle deploy command

If you are looking for step-by-step guides, check out our Tutorials section.

You can clone the example below by running the following (you’ll need shuttle CLI installed):

shuttle init --template actix-web

use actix_web::{get, web::ServiceConfig};
use shuttle_actix_web::ShuttleActixWeb;

#[get("/")]
async fn hello_world() -> &'static str {
    "Hello World!"
}

#[shuttle_runtime::main]
async fn actix_web(
) -> ShuttleActixWeb<impl FnOnce(&mut ServiceConfig) + Send + Clone + 'static> {
    let config = move |cfg: &mut ServiceConfig| {
        cfg.service(hello_world);
    };

    Ok(config.into())
}
