Hello World (Rust)

A minimal example demonstrating RivetKit in Rust with a real-time counter shared across multiple clients. This is the Rust translation of the hello-world example.

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/rivet-dev/rivet.git
cd rivet/examples/hello-world-rust
cargo build -p rivet-engine
RIVET_ENGINE_BINARY_PATH=../../target/debug/rivet-engine cargo run

See the Rust Quickstart for creating the actor and connecting clients.

Features

• Actor state management: Persistent counter state managed by Rivet Actors
• Real-time updates: Counter values synchronized across all connected clients via events
• Multiple actor instances: Each counter key creates a separate actor instance
• Typed Rust runtime: Built on the rivetkit crate's Actor and Handles traits

Implementation

This example demonstrates the core RivetKit concepts with a simple counter:

• Actor Definition (src/lib.rs): A counter actor with persistent state, an increment action, and a newCount broadcast event
