Zero JS Build Steps

Interactive UIs via Datastar SSE. Tailwind auto-downloaded. No Node.js, no webpack, no bundler.

Batteries Included

Auth, CSRF, rate limiting, query builder, scaffolding, flash messages, forms, validation — all built in.

Handler

pub async fn index(
    State(ctx): State<AppContext>,
    pagination: PaginationParams,
) -> Result<impl IntoResponse> {
    let page = Select::from("posts")
        .columns(COLUMNS)
        .order_by("created_at", Desc)
        .fetch_all::<Post>(&ctx.db).await?;
    render!(PostIndex { page })
}

Scaffold

$ blixt generate scaffold post \
    title:string \
    body:text \
    published:bool

created model post and migration
created controller post

next: Add CRUD routes to src/main.rs:
  .route("/posts", get(..::index))
  .route("/posts", post(..::create))
  .route("/posts/{id}", get(..::show))
  .route("/posts/{id}", put(..::update))
  .route("/posts/{id}", delete(..::destroy))
