Function create_user

pub async fn create_user(
    pool: &Pool<MySql>,
    email: &str,
    password: &str,
    salt: &str,
) -> Result<User>

Creates a new user in the system.

This function inserts a new user record with the provided information. New users are created with the ‘pending’ status by default.

Arguments

• pool - Database connection pool for executing the query
• email - User’s email address (must be unique)
• password - User’s password (should be pre-hashed for security)
• salt - Cryptographic salt used in the password hashing process

Returns

• Ok(User) - Successfully created user record
• Err(anyhow::Error) - Failed to create user record

Security Considerations

This function expects the password to be pre-hashed before being passed in. It does not perform any password hashing itself, as this is typically handled by a higher-level security service. Never pass plain text passwords to this function.

Transaction Handling

This function uses a database transaction to ensure atomicity of the operation. If any part of the operation fails, the entire operation is rolled back.
