Why Dioxus?

Dioxus 0.7 brings a fresh approach to building web applications in Rust. With its React-like component model, reactive signals, and fullstack capabilities, it bridges the gap between Rust's safety guarantees and modern web development.

Signals and Reactivity

The signal-based reactivity system is at the heart of Dioxus 0.7:

rust
#[component]
fn Counter() -> Element {
    let mut count = use_signal(|| 0);

    rsx! {
        button {
            onclick: move |_| count += 1,
            "Count: {count}"
        }
    }
}

Server Functions

Dioxus makes fullstack development seamless with server functions:

rust
#[post("/api/create-post")]
async fn create_post(title: String, content: String) -> Result<Post, ServerFnError> {
    let db = get_database();
    db.insert_post(title, content).await
}

Conclusion

Dioxus 0.7 is a powerful framework for building web applications entirely in Rust. Give it a try!
