Working get_todos

[iterion]

It seems like a few rust changes broke get_todos. I had to point to my own fork of nickel.rs while I'm waiting for nickel-org/rust-http#2 to be merged. I'm happy to wait until that is merged and pointing back to mainline nickel.rs before merging this.

I implemented ToJson on Todo instead of on Vec<Todo> primarily because we get Vec<Todo>.to_json() for free when doing so. Also, it seems like it might be better to build a layer on top of the core json serialization stuff to get our output a little more JSON API-ish. I'm not sure if this is the direction we should go, so input here is greatly appreciated.

You can use overrides so that you don't end up modifying checked in files: http://doc.crates.io/guide.html#overriding-dependencies

But yeah, let's wait until that PR lands to land this. :)

That's awesome, thanks!

Once nickel-org/rust-http#2 is merged I'll update this PR and let you know.

So, I ended up going down a rabbit hole to get this working, a rust update and few PR's later this is still not quite ready to merge. :)

See:
nickel-org/nickel.rs#118 & sfackler/r2d2#8

Fun!

I think everything is good now. A few more things have changed due to changes in rust + dependencies.

Woot! Thanks so much!
