Vapor VS Tokamak

Botter works in tandem with Vapor, which handles the server-side functions of your project. This powerful combination allows you to focus on what matters most - creating an engaging and effective chatbot.

// swift-tools-version: 5.8 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "MyServer", platforms: [.macOS("12.0")], products: [ // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, and make them visible to other packages. .executable( name: "MyServer", targets: ["MyServer"]), ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.70.0")), // Dependencies declare other packages that this package depends on. // .package(url: /* package url */, from: "1.0.0"), ], targets: [ // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package.

The Swift/Vapor project is a relatively easy way to do it.

Opening this webpage (https://vapor.codes) cranks my CPU (5800x3d) to 100% instantly. Why?

Vapor is the most popular non-Apple-ecosystem Swift project. There have been a few others, but none particularly popular.

Server-side apps (typically via Vapor)

My first option other than PHP was using Swift and Vapor. I have made some projects with iOS and Objective-C, maybe I could also learn Swift and create both native iOS apps and backends with the same language.

StreamCam is written 100% in Swift, SwiftUI & Combine. The serverside is handled with Vapor.

I’m also working (slowly) on native Flutter channels:

But this is really targeted at embedded use cases.

There is Tokamak but I don't know how usable it is just yet.

TokamakUI runs via SwiftUI on WASM for web. Apple just hired the creator of the framework.

You can even make web apps by creating web components in swift with Tokamak.

I am playing around with Tokamak just for a bit of fun and learning, and it's been pretty solid so far! Though I want to branch out and play with some dynamic data from a random API, instead of just using mocked/pre-populated data.

There is SwiftWasm that compiles swift into WebAssembly so you can run it in the browser, but swift can't directly manipulate the DOM so you'd still need JavaScript or something like TokamakUI so you can design the front-end portion of your app.
