void.werefox.cafe

This will be used to replace my "A Letter To The Void" collection of poems on write.as for hosting my poetry.

Usage

This project works by using a Cargo workspace with two projects void-fe and void-be

Backend

You can develop the backend by simply running the project from the root directory

cargo run

Generally, any commands you'd use for any other standard Rust project will work for this.

Ex:

cargo build

Frontend

If you want to develop the Dioxus frontend, you'll need to do the following:

• From the official Dioxus docs, ensure you have dioxus-cli and the wasm32-unknown-unknown target installed

cargo install dioxus-cli

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

• Additionally, you may need to have the Tauri prerequisites installed.

Then, you should be able to run the development server after moving into the rust-letter-fe directory.

(Linux example)

cd rust-letter-fe && dioxus serve

If you'd link to know about how to use dioxus-cli, you should run dioxus --help or reference the official documentation.*

* At the time of writing this, the link to the documentation is broken. If you'd like to see what I normally use to run the project, here's an example: dioxus serve --hot-reload --port [port #]

Running

Here are some ways you can run the project

Cargo

You can either do the standard run --release

cargo run --release

Or, referencing the Dockerfile, you can install and then run.

cargo install --path .
