quantizr VS jelly-actix-web-starter

Quanta.wiki

Yeah technology stacks have gotten completely out of hand over the decades. My current concoction is here:

Java+SpringBoot+Docker

I think I'm "doing it right", but like religions no one's is provably correct.

The younger kids are saying: "Meh, we'll just run NodeJS on the server, so we can ignore the J2EE mess the previous generation created since they're older and therefore dumber than us."

I'm also doing the same: Java+TypeScript.

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.
