Quick Start

• Create a database rust_blog_engine

• Add a collection authorization containing authorized users id (Google user id)

{
    "_id": "116710526826489061000",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "name": "Nabil Hachicha"
}

• Add a collection blogs which will persist our blog posts entries.

• Setup a Google OAuth2 API and add the client_id and client_secret inside the Rocket.toml file.
