Update pastebin example to avoid new gen reserved keyword; couple of typo fixes (#2975)
Pastebin example uses now deprecated `rand::gen()` which was changed due
to the reserved `gen` keyword in Rust 2024 edition.

Rather than changing dependencies or updating the guide to specify an
older edition, I've updated to use `gen_range` (should be best practice
to avoid an infinitesimal bias anyway). This should work with any
edition.

Also fixed typos I noticed in the CONTRIBUTING doc.

Rocket

Build Status Rocket Homepage Current Crates.io Version Matrix: #rocket:mozilla.org

Rocket is an async web framework for Rust with a focus on usability, security, extensibility, and speed.

#[macro_use] extern crate rocket;

#[get("/<name>/<age>")]
fn hello(name: &str, age: u8) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
}

#[launch]
fn rocket() -> _ {
    rocket::build().mount("/hello", routes![hello])
}

Visiting localhost:8000/hello/John/58, for example, will trigger the hello route resulting in the string Hello, 58 year old named John! being sent to the browser. If an <age> string was passed in that can't be parsed as a u8, the route won't get called, resulting in a 404 error.

Documentation

Rocket is extensively documented:

Documentation for the master branch is available at https://rocket.rs/master and https://api.rocket.rs/master.

Documentation for major release version ${x} is available at https://[api.]rocket.rs/v${x}. For example, the v0.4 docs are available at https://rocket.rs/v0.4 and https://api.rocket.rs/v0.4.

Finally, API docs for active git branches are available at https://api.rocket.rs/${branch}. For example, API docs for the master branch are available at https://api.rocket.rs/master. Branch rustdocs are built and deployed on every commit.

Examples

The examples directory contains complete crates that showcase Rocket's features and usage. Each example can be compiled and run with Cargo. For instance, the following sequence of commands builds and runs the hello example:

cd examples/hello
cargo run
