Using Dioxus with Rust to build performant single-page apps
Blog post from LogRocket
Single-page applications (SPAs) revolutionized web development by enabling parts of a webpage to update without reloading the entire page, enhancing performance and user experience. This concept is now integral to many JavaScript frameworks such as React, AngularJS, and Svelte, and has inspired libraries for Rust, including Dioxus. Dioxus, a Rust library, allows developers to build cross-platform UI components with the efficiency and safety of Rust, while resembling React's functionality. The tutorial demonstrates using Dioxus to create a simple to-do SPA, guiding through setting up the Rust environment, building app components, and deploying the app. Comprehensive details are provided on the design and functionality of components, event handling, and state management within Dioxus. The article concludes by highlighting the potential of Dioxus in building scalable web applications, despite its use of a virtual DOM, a feature some frameworks are moving away from, leveraging Rust's advantages for optimized project development.
