Perseus is a web development framework for the Rust programming language that focuses on the state of your app.
It supports reactivity using Sycamore, and builds on it to provide a fully-fledged framework for developing modern apps.
The main key idea that underpins Perseus is about templates, and the primary architectural matter to understand is how Perseus apps actually work in terms of their components. Templates are the key to understanding Perseus code. Once you do, you should be able to confidently write clear code for apps that do exactly what you want them to. Nicely, this core concept also correlates with the file of code that defines the majority of the inner workings of Perseus (which is 600 lines long…). There are two things you need to know about templates: An app is split into templates, and each template is split into pages. A page is generated from a template and state. Template + state = page
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Supports static generation (serving only static resources).
- Supports server-side rendering (serving dynamic resources).
- Supports revalidation after time and/or with custom logic (updating rendered pages).
- Supports incremental regeneration (build on demand).
- Open build matrix (use any rendering strategy with anything else).
- CLI harness that lets you build apps with ease and confidence.
- Full i18n support out-of-the-box with Fluent. Just add translations using Fluent, and your app can be set up in seconds in multiple languages, with automatic user locale detection.
- Lighthouse scores of 100 on desktop and over 95 on mobile.
- Support for hot state reloading (reload your entire app’s state after you make any code changes in development.
- Built-in plugins system and full customizability of almost every part of the system
