  1. Agenda ⁉ What is Yew? Why Wasm & Rust? 🪄

    Simple tutorial 🤩 My impressions 🗺 Where to go from here
  2. Yew Multi-threaded front-end web apps using WebAssembly 🏎💨 • Component-based

    • Great performance • JavaScript interoperability
  3. WebAssembly Low-level assembly-like language with a compact binary format that

    runs with near-native performance and provides languages like Rust with a compilation target that can run in modern web browsers.
  4. WebAssembly Not a silver bullet for improving performance of web

    apps 🤪 • DOM APIs from Wasm are still slower than directly from JS
  5. WebAssembly Not a silver bullet for improving performance of web

    apps 🤪 • DOM APIs from Wasm are still slower than directly from JS • Perfect for heavy computation applications
  6. WebAssembly Not a silver bullet for improving performance of web

    apps 🤪 • DOM APIs from Wasm are still slower than directly from JS • Perfect for heavy computation applications • Multi-threading via Web Workers
  7. impl Component for TodoComponent { type Message = Msg; type

    Properties = (); fn create(_ctx: &Context<Self>) - > Self {} fn update(&mut self,_ctx, msg: Self : : Message) - > bool {} fn view(&self, ctx: &Context<Self>) - > Html {} }
  8. fn create(_ctx: &Context<Self>) - > Self { Self { todos:

    vec![Todo { text: "Learn Rust".to_string(), completed: true, }], new_todo_txt: "".to_string(), } }
  9. fn view(&self, ctx: &Context<Self>) - > Html { let link

    = ctx.link(); let on_cautious_change = link.batch_callback(|e: Event| { let input = e.target_dyn_into: : < HtmlInputElement>(); input.map(|input| Msg : : UpdateNewTodo(input.value())) }); html! { <div> <ol> { self.todos.iter().map(|todo| html! { <li> <input type="checkbox" checked={todo.completed} / > <span>{format!("{}", todo.text)} < / span> < / li> }).collect: : < Html>()} < / ol> <div> <input type="text" value={self.new_todo_txt.to_string()} onchange={on_cautious_change} / > <button onclick={link.callback(|_| Msg : : AddTodo)}>{ "Add" } < / button> < / div> < / div> } }
  10. fn update(&mut self, _ctx: &Context<Self>, msg: Self : : Message)

    - > bool { match msg { Msg : : AddTodo = > { let new_todo = Todo { text: self.new_todo_txt.to_string(), completed: false, }; self.new_todo_txt = "".to_string(); self.todos.push(new_todo); true } Msg : : UpdateNewTodo(new_txt) = > { self.new_todo_txt = new_txt; true } } }
  11. use yew : : prelude : : *; fn main()

    { yew : : start_app: : < TodoComponent>(); }
  12. My impressions Yew • Very similar to React, but it’s

    Rust • Easy to setup and learn the basics
  13. My impressions Yew • Very similar to React, but it’s

    Rust • Easy to setup and learn the basics • Good documentation
  14. My impressions Yew • Very similar to React, but it’s

    Rust • Easy to setup and learn the basics • Good documentation • Looks promising
