Resources

A curated list of resources for the technologies wasm-drydock is built on and around.

WebAssembly

• WebAssembly Official Site — specification, concepts, and use cases
• Rust and WebAssembly Book — the definitive guide to compiling Rust to WASM
• wasm-pack — the tool wasm-drydock uses to build your frontend
• wasm-bindgen — how Rust and JavaScript interoperate at the WASM boundary

Yew

• Yew Documentation — components, hooks, routing, and more
• Yew 0.22 Release Notes — what changed in the version wasm-drydock targets
• Yew GitHub
• gloo — toolkit for building WASM applications, used by Yew internally

Actix-web

• Actix-web Documentation — handlers, middleware, extractors
• Actix-web API Reference — full API docs on docs.rs

Trunk

• Trunk — the WASM bundler wasm-drydock does not use but which you may encounter in the Yew ecosystem. Understanding trunk helps clarify what wasm-drydock replaces.

Rust Async

• Tokio Documentation — the async runtime wasm-drydock is built on
• Tokio Tutorial — recommended reading for understanding the async foundations

Deployment

• Fly.io Documentation — the deployment platform covered in this guide
• cargo-chef — Docker layer caching for Rust projects, used in the wasm-drydock Dockerfile
• Caddy — a simple reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS, a good alternative to Fly for VPS deployments

Related Projects

• Leptos — a full-stack Rust framework with SSR support, worth knowing about as the ecosystem matures
• Dioxus — another Rust UI framework targeting multiple platforms including WASM
• cargo-generate — template-based project scaffolding, an alternative approach to what wasm-drydock's init command does
