tera VS minijinja

You can also use HTML templating with crates like askama, tera and maud! This can be combined with the power of lightweight JavaScript libraries like htmx to speed up time to production. You can read more about this on our other article about using HTMX with Rust which you can find here.. We also collaborated with Stefan Baumgartner on an article for serving HTML with Askama!

Tera, based on Jinja, as the next two

Tera

An authentication system is an integral part of modern applications. It's so important that almost all modern applications have some sort of it. Because of their critical nature, such systems should be secure and should follow OWAP®'s recommendations on web security and password hashing as well as storage to prevent attacks such as Preimage and Dictionary attacks (common to SHA algorithms). To demonstrate some of the recommendations, we'll be building a robust session-based authentication system in Rust and a complementary frontend application. For this article series, we'll be using Rust's actix-web and some awesome crates for the backend service. SvelteKit will be used for the frontend. It should be noted however that what we'll be building is largely framework agnostic. As a result, you can decide to opt for axum, rocket, warp or any other rust's web framework for the backend and react, vue or any other javascript framework for the frontend. You can even use rust's yew, seed or some templating engines such as MiniJinja or tera at the frontend. It's entirely up to you. Our focus will be more on the concepts.

Or Flask!

My guess is that "fastest" refers to the request-response loop.

I'd be interested in knowing how fast it is once you tack your favourite template rendering engine on top.

It would be nice if it supported Tera, the Rust template engine that is inspired by Jinja2:

https://github.com/Keats/tera

supports sophisticated templating using Tera,

As you might've noticed I have a static www folder with all my files. If I go to /, /login, /register I want to respond with my templated HTML. If the browser asks for another file, such as index.js or something.png I want to serve it from the static folder. I someone wants to access the raw template HTML, such as index.html I want to response with a 404 message.

tera for email templates.

I've been using Tera and Chromium Oxide to generate and render reports to PDF and its been very needs suiting. It can also render to a PNG file.

MiniJinja v1 - Templating engine

I worked on a side project (currently with about 30-50 regular real users) using Rust (with axum), sqlite for the database, minijinja for template rendering, and htmx for the frontend interactivity and S3 for backups. It was quick to hack together (who says Rust is bad for prototyping?), and yet I still feel happy about the code quality. It's been running for a while now in production on fly.io free tier, I noticed it's apparently been using a steady 12MB of RAM, and zero errors or production issues so far since its inception. Last night I decided randomly to benchmark it on my laptop, it can handle 4000+ requests per second hitting the database with a bunch of data inside, I have put almost no effort into optimization. I feel like this might be a good result? Perhaps approaches like this will catch on? Something about this feels pretty cool! Has anyone else had this experience using Rust? I can think of multiple applications (in cluster of microservices) I've come across during my day jobs with large AWS bills and much higher incidental complexity that I would probably choose to do differently given this experience if I had the chance.

Jinja2 vs minijinja-py: not a rewrite per se tho https://github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja/tree/main/minijinja-py

Ronacher has ported jinja2 (partially) to Rust

https://github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja

If you wan't to know why I even dove down into this Rabbit hole: I wanted to enable borrowing for filter functions in MiniJinja. The PR has more context

Hello, I am developing a CLI program for rendering template files using the new MiniJinja library by /u/mitsuhiko.
