The Dapr client package allows you to interact with other Dapr applications from
a Rust application.
{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
The Dapr Rust-SDK is currently in Alpha. Work is underway to bring it to a
stable release and will likely involve breaking changes.
{{% /alert %}}
## Prerequisites
- [Dapr CLI]({{< ref install-dapr-cli.md >}}) installed
- Initialized [Dapr environment]({{< ref install-dapr-selfhost.md >}})
- [Rust installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
## Import the client package
Add Dapr to your `cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
# Other dependencies
dapr = "0.16.0"
```
You can either reference `dapr::Client` or bind the full path to a new name as follows:
```rust
use dapr::Client as DaprClient;
```
## Instantiating the Dapr client
```rust
let addr = "https://127.0.0.1".to_string();
let mut client = dapr::Client::<dapr::client::TonicClient>::connect(addr,
port).await?;
```
## Building blocks
The Rust SDK allows you to interface with the
[Dapr building blocks]({{< ref building-blocks >}}).
### Service Invocation (gRPC)
To invoke a specific method on another service running with Dapr sidecar, the
Dapr client provides two options:
Invoke a (gRPC) service
```rust
let response = client
.invoke_service("service-to-invoke", "method-to-invoke", Some(data))
.await
.unwrap();
```
For a full guide on service invocation, visit
[How-To: Invoke a service]({{< ref howto-invoke-discover-services.md >}}).
### State Management
The Dapr Client provides access to these state management methods: `save_state`
, `get_state`, `delete_state` that can be used like so:
```rust
let store_name = String::from("statestore");
let key = String::from("hello");
let val = String::from("world").into_bytes();
// save key-value pair in the state store
client
.save_state(store_name, key, val, None, None, None)
.await?;
let get_response = client
.get_state("statestore", "hello", None)
.await?;
// delete a value from the state store
client
.delete_state("statestore", "hello", None)
.await?;
```
Multiple states can be sent with the `save_bulk_states` method.
For a full guide on state management, visit
[How-To: Save & get state]({{< ref howto-get-save-state.md >}}).
### Publish Messages
To publish data onto a topic, the Dapr client provides a simple method:
```rust
let pubsub_name = "pubsub-name".to_string();
let pubsub_topic = "topic-name".to_string();
let pubsub_content_type = "text/plain".to_string();
let data = "content".to_string().into_bytes();
client
.publish_event(pubsub_name, pubsub_topic, pubsub_content_type, data, None)
.await?;
```
For a full guide on pub/sub, visit
[How-To: Publish & subscribe]({{< ref howto-publish-subscribe.md >}}).
