Perseus is a blazingly fast frontend web development framework built in Rust with support for generating page state at build-time, request-time, incrementally, or whatever you'd like! It supports reactivity using [Sycamore](https://github.com/sycamore-rs/sycamore), and builds on it to provide a fully-fledged framework for developing modern apps.
- 📕 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](https://projectfluent.org)
- 🏎 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, Perseus is the only framework in the world that can do this, to our knowledge)
## What's it like?
Here's a taste of Perseus (see [the _tiny_ example](https://github.com/framesurge/perseus/tree/main/examples/comprehensive/tiny) for more):
```rust,ignore
use perseus::prelude::*;
use sycamore::prelude::*;
#[perseus::main(perseus_axum::dflt_server)]
pub fn main() -> PerseusApp {
PerseusApp::new()
.template(
Template::build("index")
.view(|cx| {
view! { cx,
p { "Hello World!" }
}
})
.build()
)
}
```
Check out [the book](https://framesurge.sh/perseus/en-US/docs) to learn how to turn that into your next app!
## Quick start
If you want to start working with Perseus right away, run the following commands and you'll have a basic app ready in no time! (Or, more accurately, after Cargo compiles everything...)
``` shell
cargo install perseus-cli
perseus new my-app
cd my-app/
perseus serve -w
```
Then, hop over to and see a placeholder app, in all its glory! If you change some code, that'll automatically update, reloading the browser all by itself. (This rebuilding might take a while though, see [here](https://framesurge.sh/perseus/en-US/docs/next/reference/compilation-times) for how to speed things up.)
## Aim
Support every major rendering strategy and provide developers the ability to efficiently create super-fast apps with Rust and a fantastic developer experience!
## Motivation
There is a sore lack of Rust frameworks for frontend development that support more than just SPAs and client-side rendering, and so Perseus was born. We need something like NextJS for Wasm. But why stop there?
