create-rust-app

Dear HN community -- Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and all the best in the upcoming new year :) Just wanted to share a crate I've been working on that I finally felt was ready to publish. It's primary purpose is to make it easy to integrate ViteJS with your Rust project. It tries to be a low-touch integration so you can continue using ViteJS as you normally would. The next step for this is to show the community how you could integrate this into templating engines and web frameworks like `actix-web`/`axum`/`poem`/etc. I've previously drafted a ViteJS integration for Rust backends[1] in `create-react-app` and I hope to adapt that to use `vite-rs` soon.

I’m going to add dsync to create-rust-app [1] so users can apply a database-first approach in rust! [1] https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

Wowowowow thanks for your efforts behind this! I’ve integrated vite with a rust backend[1] and so many people have asked me how I managed to achieve SSR because they equate SSR with render+hydrate but it’s really just classical SSR. I think I can finally make their dreams come true because of this. [1] https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

I switched from CRA to Vite for create-rust-app[1]. If you ever needed to bundle JS/TS in an SSR framework (language agnostic), vite is a great choice :) [1] https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

Personally I got the sense that the Go community doesn't really care for web apps or anything too close to React, but maybe I'm just not experienced enough yet with Go. Is there something like CreateRustApp but with Go? https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

I’ve been working on an OS project to help people get on this bandwagon: create-rust-app [1]. The folks over at shuttle.rs also wrote a blogpost around a similar topic which was a very interesting read as a rust developer.

Haha love the name. Sad to see it’s not an actual framework. For those looking for something more akin to a framework, try create-rust-app [1]. I plan to add a templating plugin soon! [1] https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

Tytytyty!! I know this is not realistic, but the only thing rust is missing is faster compilation times. To be fair, it’s already super fast. I was adding a repl[1] to create-react-app[2] (trying to achieve something like RoR’s console) and it took way too long for it to boot simply because the dependencies for something like a full scale web app take long to compile. Even with incremental compilation, that first boot time was too much. [1] https://github.com/google/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl [2] https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

You’ve mentioned two of my favourite technologies :) In case you want to try rust and react together: https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app

If anyone is interested in trying out actix (or rust in general) for fullstack app development, you can quickly kickstart a project using create-rust-app[1]. [1]: https://github.com/Wulf/create-rust-app
