handlebars-rust VS panamax

handlebars to create the HTML templates of all the built-in components

handlebars-rust, based on Handlebars

filling out templates inside files using Handlerbars

Would Handlebars-Rust be good for parsing non-Rust files? Or is there another templating engine built in Rust that I should use?

I am learning Rust currently, so to improve my skills, I am considering using its Handlebars implementation.

If you paid attention to the function code above, it might have occurred to you that the assets we serve don't have to be completely static. For example we could instead embed a handlebars template or similar & render it with the handlebars crate, allowing us "semi-dynamic" content for lack of a better name.

Tera is a templating engine, inspired by Jinja2 and Django. There are other options like handlerbars and askama, but in this case I prefer to use tera because I'm familiarized with the syntax.

This weekend I learned some unfamiliar behaviors with the way Handlebars handles nested variable scopes. I typically use Handlebars via the handlebars-rust implementation which aims to maintain nearly one to one compatibility with the JavaScript implementation. They have block scope helpers such as #each and #with, both of which create an inner scope for variable resolution. Unfortunately, the syntax can be quite unintuitive for accessing outer scope once in those nested scopes.

I have been tweaking and fixing issues with newline stripping feature for handlebars: https://github.com/sunng87/handlebars-rust/pull/448/files

We had previously tried panamax but it broke constantly. Well, recently we tried again and it worked beautifully this time and we used it to create an offline mirror. It was pretty straightforward to set up, has plenty of customization options, and is quick to update. It includes the Rust toolchain itself as well as the entire ecosystem of https://crates.io/. It's amazing, and it feels like we're online almost! The entire mirror is only about 150GB. Not bad!

I am trying to get a derivation for panamax, a mirror for crates.io, the package registry for Rust libraries.

It looks like panamax is also a program that can be used to mirror a local crates-io registry to ones device. And using .cargo/config one can point to it. https://github.com/panamax-rs/panamax

I’m looking for an equivalent of panamax for rust, for golang. Do you know if a tool like this exists ? The aim is to have a maximum of packages available (ideally all) in an offline environment.

We're no complete strangers to that ;-) (my handle on github is dureuill)

Finally got Panamax's (rust mirror) "serve" command to a point where I've finally made a PR for it!

Work on Panamax (a Rust mirror for rustup and crates.io). It's nearly complete, and as part of building a command to serve a downloaded mirror, I've implemented a warp proof of concept that serves a git repo: https://github.com/panamax-rs/warp-git
