Loco. The one-person framework for Rust for side-projects and startups

[chubs]

I love how open this is about following Rails' ideas, in that one simple statement it really helps explain how this will work.

Author here. Thanks! I think Rails is still great these days. If someone can afford doing Ruby, they should definitely stick to Rails. However if you're into Rust, this is the best I could do that is as similar to Rails but can preserve some of Rust's strictness

Pretty great! Quick q for you when you update the docs. How does front end rendering work? Much of rust is deep into wasm - are you following that approach? or aiming for pure ssr of templates?

it seems JSON only so far

I love that the idea of the one-person framework is spreading to other languages and ecosystems. I personally love rails AND Ruby and will stick with them. But there’s always more room for great frameworks like it and they can all be better by learning from one another. Hotwire was heavily inspired by Phoenix, for example.

Looks good, couldn't find any examples of how to render pages in the docs though (SSR or otherwise).

[jkmcf]

Very cool!

I love how you've implemented models, particularly generating the entity from the database. I did something similar with PHP 20 years ago, but abandoned it when Rails came around.

[jondot]

Thanks! We much prefer to have had Rails' activerecord, but activerecord has hundreds of person-years (maybe thousands?). So what we found was the best for the current lifespan of Rust and its ORM ecosystem

How do you use front end (JavaScript) code with this as a backend? Or, does this somehow build wasm components that can be used client side?

[perryizgr8]

Looks cool, hope to use this or something else like this in the future. Is there anything like this but for web frontend?

[CraftThatBlock]

Interesting. Is the part to render HTML in the browser coming, or is this API-only?

[beatthatflight]

For a python developer, what would this be the 'equivalent' of? Flask?

[tomca32]

Well it wants to be like Rails so the Python equivalent is probably Django

[ofrzeta]

I don't quite get what is a one-person framework.

Looks cool; needs more examples

[block_dagger]

Looks cool!

Nice work!
