Crate blixt 

Blixt is a Rust web framework built on Axum, Askama, and SQLx.

It provides compile-time safety for templates and SQL queries, SSE-based interactivity via Datastar, and automatic Tailwind CSS integration — with zero JavaScript build steps.

Quick start

use blixt::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    init_tracing()?;
    let config = Config::from_env()?;
    App::new(config).router(Router::new()).serve().await
}
