  • Rust + WASM + Typescript [+ React]
    7 projects | /r/rust | 18 Jul 2023
    For a much simpler but less flexible approach there's wasm-pack for creating JS packages from Rust, and wasm-bindgen for easy interop. Both have very good documentation.
  • Tower of Hanoi in P5.js + WASM
    5 projects | dev.to | 8 May 2023
    After four years, I found some time to pay that deb-tech (yes, quite a long time, eh). To make it fun I rewrote everything from scratch in SolidJS, which went smooth thanks to this amazing library p5js-wrapper. For WASM, C++ is still a good choice, but what about Rust? I did some research and found wasm-pack. A few lines in the cargo.toml file and we were ready to generate compiled + ready to import bytecode!

  • Examples of Rust + SvelteKit + WASM
    2 projects | /r/rust | 6 Oct 2022
    wasm-pack has bugs - it publishes a module which declares itself as a commonjs module. (You can fix that by manually adding "type": "module" in package.json). Then the web build should work with other bundlers. I opened an issue about this over a year ago. There's a PR and everything, but no movement :/

    Is the Rust WASM ecosystem being half dead better? wasm-pack and wasm-bindgen are barely maintained anymore, and trust me it's not because everything works flawlessly…
  • Ask HN: Should I learn Rust or Go?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jul 2022
    I've been learning Rust for the past few weeks and have been enjoying it a lot.

    - The community is very helpful on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/rust-lang-community).

    - The package ecosystem (crates.io) makes it very easy to find and import things, and they're consistently documented.

    - There's a path to compiling on web via WebAssembly (https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/)

    In a few weeks of learning the language, I managed to put together this visualization: https://twitter.com/admiralakk/status/1542560489091350529

    But realistically, either Go or Rust will be fine. You should pick the one you're more likely to stick with and learn, even when it gets tough. I've found the community aspect to be very helpful, because then at least I know I'm not the only idiot out there.

  • Integrating a Svelte app with Rust using WebAssembly
    4 projects | dev.to | 29 Jun 2022
    There are various ways to set up a web project that uses Svelte, Wasm, and Rust. For example, wasm-pack from the rust-wasm group provides a template for simple HTML-CSS-JS applications. There are also several project templates for React or Svelte with Rust and Wasm.

  • Yew alternatives
    2 projects | /r/learnrust | 13 Jun 2023
    Practically every Rust web frontend I've seen takes a react-like approach, with "hooks" to store all of the state in. The now-abandoned Seed and Yew's struct components use a message-passing approach, where the state is stored as member variables on the struct representing the component that are updated based on messages dispatched by event handlers. There's also egui, which has a completely different paradigm that involves making the UI from scratch every frame based on the app's current state. It's not a web framework the same way as the others, but it can draw its UI to a web canvas just fine.
  • Want a web app to respond to local file changes. Is Tauri the solution here?
    8 projects | /r/rust | 1 May 2023
    Sycamore, Yew, or Seed if you want a full-stack solution. (Or Leptos if you want something that's faster but less mature.)
  • Full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit
    19 projects | dev.to | 23 Apr 2023
    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.

  • Blazor United - When it ships it would be the most glorious way to do web with .NET
    5 projects | /r/programming | 25 Jan 2023
    Aside from Blazor there's already some other projects like Yew (rust), seed (rust), asm-dom (C++) and vugu (Go) and more that have decent followings and activity. A lot more (especially managed languages) are waiting for some features to come online like wasm GC and host bindings (direct wasm access to browser apis which includes the DOM). It'll take a bit of time, but it'll get there eventually.

    For desktop apps maybe check out Tauri . You can use it with a lot of (web)frontend options including yew/wasm (also Seed ) if you want to go 100% Rust. Actix and Rocket are options for web framework. Also have look at the Building a Command Line Program in the book. I found it really helpful since i am just starting to learn myself.

    I haven't been keeping up with it, but have heard of it. If ibrecall correctly it was created by the developer that initially developed seed (https://seed-rs.org/)
