MoonZoon VS rust-embed

They are both async and made for GUI -- in case of rust-signals WebGUI, provided by dominator and MoonZoon.

Fullstack Framework: MoonZoon, Leptos

Dominator is more of a low-level framework for manipulating the DOM. There's also MoonZoon (https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon) which uses dominator but provides a more complete experience.

Alternative 2)thin client in browser and server in rust. If you really want to limit it to web client and web server, possibly try a newer approach with moonzoon. https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon/tree/main/examples/todomvc

I don't really know Rust so clearly I'm not the target audience, but this thing where you define all the styles using chains of methods seems kinda clumsy to me. And if it's all turning into CSS in the end you presumably still need to understand CSS concepts in order to make the layout you want using this syntax. So I'm not sure this is really saving you from learning HTML and CSS. That said it does appear to be compiling your Rust to web assembly (like Blazor does) which is pretty cool.

I've come across MoonZoon (https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon) which seems like an interesting full stack framework, but I'm wondering about a solution that would allow choosing both frontend and backend frameworks.

There’s also https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon which is built on dominator. It’s in fairly early stage development but offers a higher level interface than dominator.

Not sure how common it is exactly but I've definitely seen it done here and there and done it myself in some projects. Having self-contained binaries is super nice and avoids a fair few issues. rust-embed makes it even better.

They even accepted one of my feature requests to add some file metadata which makes doing this kind of thing easier: https://github.com/pyros2097/rust-embed/issues/140

Note: include_str! can make compilation a bit slow. The rust-embed crate can read files in debug mode as normal and embed the files in release mode.

For reference, there are examples for several frameworks in the rust-embed repo.

But then it turned out that the images can’t be read from the database due to the lack of GridFS support in MongoDB Rust Driver (open ticket). So for simplicity purposes, I decided to use rust_embed crate which allows including images in the application binary at compile time (at the development time they are loaded from a file system). (It is also possible to store images separately from the application; images folder should be mounted as a volume in the Docker Compose service definition)

Images of planets are included in the application binary at compile time using rust_embed crate (at the development time they are loaded from a file system).

Maybe rust-embed can help you? I haven't used it myself, just came across the crate on this sub a while ago.
