Build a Rust + WebAssembly frontend web app with Yew

Rust, traditionally recognized for its backend web development prowess, can now be used to develop rich frontend applications thanks to WebAssembly (Wasm) and frameworks like Yew, which resembles JavaScript's React in syntax and structure. This tutorial demonstrates building a basic frontend app using Rust and Yew, creating a simple to-do list application that interfaces with JSONPlaceholder to fetch data. Key components include setting up the Rust project with essential dependencies, using Trunk for building, defining app routing with Yew-router, and implementing components for list and detailed views. The app's development showcases Rust's capability to leverage modern web technologies and points to the early yet promising nature of the Wasm ecosystem. Despite its nascent state, Rust's potential for larger frontend projects is evident, and tools like LogRocket can enhance debugging and performance tracking by providing full visibility into Rust-based web applications.
