how to use tokio_postgres in actix-web - rust

Question

So I want to use tokio_postgres in an actix API, I just started and I am having difficulties with sharing the client in my get request.
Here is my code:
use actix_web::{web, App, HttpServer, HttpResponse};
use tokio_postgres::{NoTls};
use std::cell::RefCell;
mod api;
use api::routes::hello_actix;
fn main() {
actix_rt::System::run(|| {
println!("connecting to postgres");
let pro = tokio::spawn(
async
{
let (client , conn) = match tokio_postgres::connect(
"foo",
NoTls)
.await {
Ok(t) => t,
Err(e) => panic!("{}", e)
};
tokio::spawn(async move {
if let Err(e) = conn.await {
eprintln!("connection error: {}", e);
}
});
println!("connected to postgres");
HttpServer::new(|| {
App::new()
.data(RefCell::new(conn))
.route("/hello", web::get().to(hello_actix))
.default_service(web::route().to(|| HttpResponse::NotFound().body("404 Not Found")))
})
.bind("127.0.0.1:8080")
.unwrap()
.run();
Ok(())
});
});
}
i base this code on this but it does not seem to be working.
I would also like to stay "Pure" so I don't want to have a global client if possible.
Is it even possible to do what I want?
