Adding Sea-ORM

First, we need to install Sea-ORM CLI,

cargo install sea-orm-cli

You can also specify the version you want to install. In my case, the above command installed v1.0.0 of the CLI. To install the same version as mine, type in the following,

cargo install sea-orm-cli@1.0.0

This will install v1.0.0 instead of the latest release. Any CLI operation mentioned in this post will be with this version of the Sea-ORM CLI.

Now we will add two migration crate. As the name suggests, migration will hold the the migrations for our models.

To create the migration crate, type in the following command from within your project directory,

sea-orm-cli migrate init

This will create a migration crate and should look like this,

migration
├── Cargo.toml
├── README.md
└── src
    ├── lib.rs
    ├── m20220101_000001_create_table.rs
    └── main.rs

We are now done with our Sea-ORM setup. Now let's test it by adding a User model.
