jelly-actix-web-starter VS Roslyn

You can look at https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

My usual reminder that I have a Django-ish template for actix-web that I maintain: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

Now that actix-web 4.0 is out I should be able to finally resolve one of the open issues/PRs, which I was waiting on 4.0 for.

For those interested in Django-in-Rust type approaches, I maintain an actix-web starter project that does exactly this: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter

I maintain a starter for all of this kind of stuff on top of actix-web, for anyone interested: https://github.com/secretkeysio/jelly-actix-web-starter/

Curious why you went with the mailbox approach - since a request is pretty much in-and-out, I found it sufficient to just write a trait for HttpRequest and have a custom render(...) method that pulls any flash messages from the session, thus clearing them. Wouldn't surprise me if I'm missing something tho.

I love Askama, but being tied to compile time changes is an absurd handicap on a web framework in the initial iteration phase. With Tera, you can implement a watcher for template changes and reload them without needing to recompile the entire framework.

If you want, I have an open source actix-web repo that does stuff like this for you already.

If you enjoy Python's web story but want something similar-ish in Rust, you can check out my actix boilerplate repo - it "mimics" Django in many ways. If nothing else, might be useful for picking apart.

My understanding is that the .NET team is working toward this with Interceptors: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/main/docs/features/int...

.NET is a little smarter about switch code generation these days: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/66081

Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.

At runtime, the Case C# expressions are embedded into a function and dynamically compiled into an assembly using the Roslyn C# compiler. Then the function that contains the expression is called (e.g. CaseAvailableFunction.Availablle()). At runtime, the function provides various methods to access stored case values as well as the current input data.
