rustapi-view

Lens: "The Artist"
Philosophy: "Server-side rendering with modern tools."

Server-side rendering for RustAPI using Tera (Jinja2-like template engine).

Features

• Type-Safe Context: Pass Rust structs directly to templates
• Auto-Reload: Templates reload automatically in debug mode—no restart required
• Includes & Inheritance: Master pages, blocks, and macros supported

Tera Integration

async fn home(
    State(templates): State<Templates>
) -> View {
    let mut ctx = Context::new();
    ctx.insert("user", "Alice");
    
    View::new("home.html", ctx)
}

Layouts and Inheritance

Tera supports template inheritance, allowing you to define a base layout (base.html) and extend it in child templates (index.html), keeping your frontend DRY.

Full Example

src/main.rs

use rustapi_view::{View, Context};

#[rustapi_rs::get("/")]
async fn index() -> View {
    let mut ctx = Context::new();
    ctx.insert("title", "My Blog");
    ctx.insert("posts", &vec!["Post 1", "Post 2"]);
    
    View::new("index.html", ctx)
}

templates/index.html

<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for post in posts %}
    <li>{{ post }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
