leptos VS Vue.js

Lots of new frontend frameworks have been built on top of Rust, including Leptos, which happens to be one of the most popular ones. In this guide, we'll highlight why and how to migrate your JavaScript frontend to use the Leptos Rust frontend framework.

I don't know why OP felt moved to write this weird guide, https://leptos.dev is incredible!

You want a package? Add it to buildInputs.

You want to search a package: https://search.nixos.org/packages (or use the cli)

you want to test a package before adding it? nix-shell -p or nix shell for example.

Heck, even if you want it more easy, you could write a tool in less than 100 lines that adds packages names to .json/.yaml/.toml, which allows you to parse it using the nix language and a simple cli written with bash functions to add/remove packages if you wanted.

That's why it is hard for me to understand this project as a product, it seems like a wrapper to the most basic things :\

We use the fantastic Leptos framework for building the frontend. Besides that, we use the leptos-use utilities for connecting to the WebSocket server, serde for serialization, and rand for generating random numbers.

I'd use https://leptos.dev because you can use a fully typed language (Rust) that is super fast in the backend and also in the frontend (see https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/2024/table...)

For the web-side, if you'd like to use Rust end-to-end we've had the best experience with Leptos: https://leptos.dev/

I'd suggest https://leptos.dev/ is worth a look. I haven't used it yet, but plan to soon.

I think a lot of us reach for Jinja-style templates so it feels a little more like we're writing bare HTML. But they're of course still just templates, and they need a build step before they become valid HTML.

So it's true, if you're willing to use a DSL embedded in your server language (like JSX), then you'll have the full language tooling available to you. And this probably isn't giving up much over language-specific templates.

A JSX-equivalent for the Rust server-side rendering world would probably be maud [1] or leptops [2].

I wanted to deploy the app serverlessly, opting for Deno Deploy hosting. The JS fetch example and the leptos-deno examples were handy to get me going.

Vuejs

Vue.js is a big favorite for making websites because it's easy to use and fits in well with other stuff. Many people worldwide are using it, and the community keeps growing.

Vue has a thriving ecosystem with a wide range of third-party libraries and plugins available for extending its functionality. These libraries cover everything from state management to routing, making it easy for developers to find solutions to common problems and enhance their development workflow. As of this writing, Vue has 200k GitHub stars.

6. Vue.js

I have got the privilege of working on Vue 2 couple of months ago and its really amazing framework to work with .

Angular is as little innovative for web frameworks as Firefox-ESR is for browsers. It merely keeps copying features from other frameworks - just many years later. It is a chronically outdated framework that always struggles to keep up with its competitors. It would be ok if those were deliberate design decisions, but if the features get copied some day anyway, what is the point? Why not do it the right way from the start?

For example, this update brings us computed properties, an essential feature for any complex performant web application that was made popular by Vue.js 10 years ago [1]. And now in 2023 we get it in Angular, essentially a confirmation by its devs that its lack has always been a design error.

I also cannot understand the "mature" argument. For example, it took five years for documentation on `` to arrive [2]. This is something I'd expect from the side project of a lone programmer, not an enterprise-level framework.

The only upsides of Angular are its "batteries included" approach and the (debatable) default of RXJS, while the downsides are plenty.

It's down since months. https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/11867

{ "user": "vuejs", "repo": "vue", "url": "https://github.com/vuejs/vue", "stars": 201555, "description": "🖖 Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web.", "topics": [ "javascript", "framework", "vue", "frontend" ], "label": "repository", "commitCount": 3544 }

Vue.js is a progressive open-source MVVM frontend JavaScript framework that is designed to be implemented incrementally since the core library focuses only on the presentation layer. Nevertheless, this framework is used for building UI (user interfaces) and complex single-page applications with modern tools and libraries to support them. It enables you to take advantage of libraries for client-side routing and state management when you need it.
