Svelte-Tide-Project

Starter template for Svelte frontend apps with Rust Tide backend server. Contains an example of using sessions to store user login and access secure area.

Ideas taken from https://github.com/sachinbhutani/svelte-on-rust which combined rocket.rs and svelte.

Requirements

NodeJs - Install

Rust - Install

Get started

Create a new project based on this template using degit and install the dependencies...

npx degit jbertovic/svelte-tide-project svelte-tide-project
cd svelte-tide-project
npm install

...then start Tide server and Rollup in two different terminals

Terminal 1: (To run the rust server)

cargo run  

Terminal 2: (To build and hot reload svelte components)

npm run dev  

Navigate to localhost:8080. You should see your app running. All svelte front end code lives in src_front directory. Save any changes live-reloading. All tide server back end code lives in src directory. To rebuild Rust code use cargo run after saving your changes. All static files are served from public directory. Including the JS code compiled by Svelte Compiler.

Building and running in production mode

Currently the store for the sessions in Tide is accomplished using a simple MemoryStore which isn't meant for production.

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build
cargo build
