Want to make a web app with Rust and TS. Any advices with what framework to choose & why? | Rust Programming Language Community | Page 1

Well, a friend and I want to create a web app which would use TS on the client side, and a rust framework for the backend. Both of us are new to the technologies and I'd like to know which framework would be suitable for the task.

Any ideas or recommendations?

@nimble pilot My apologies, but that doesn't answer the choice of the framework nor whether TS and any rust frameworks are compatible. Could you elaborate?

TS and any rust frameworks are compatible
A Rust server would provide an HTTP API so all would be compatible.

And the second link shows the most popular frameworks for you to assess.

#

I'm the maintainer of Actix Web so I'd be biased in recommending it.

all I know is that axum and actix-web are the most recommended rust web frameworks

So it's a choice between axum and actix-web I suppose? Which is more beginner friendly if I may ask?

If you know Rust already, both should feel similarly easy.

#

If not, do put a little time into learning the language from The Rust Book first.
