# Touch Typing Website - My Computer Science Coursework
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This project is a web server built using the Rocket framework in Rust. It provides APIs for interacting with a database and serves Javascript for the front-end of the website.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- **User Authentication**: Users can sign up, login, and access their tests from anywhere they can access the server.
|
|
- **Test Management**: Allows users to create tests and retrieve their test data.
|
|
- **Leaderboard**: Provides a leaderboard of users based on their test performance.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
>[!NOTE]
|
|
>You will need to have Rust and sqlite installed
|
|
> - [Rustup - Rust Installer](https://rustup.rs/)
|
|
> - [SQLITE - Installation Tutorial](https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/download-install-sqlite/)
|

## Usage
|
|

>[!CAUTION]
|
|
>The hashing algorithm used by this project is a basic one and should not be considered safe enough to use any password that is used on another site. Proceed at your own risk

|
|
- Get user tests: `GET /api/get_tests/<user_id>/<secret>`
|
|
- Leaderboard: `GET /api/leaderboard`
|
|
- Test-related endpoints:
