# Leptos Starter Template
This is a template demonstrating how to integrate [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) with the [Leptos](https://github.com/leptos-rs/leptos) web framework and the [cargo-leptos](https://github.com/akesson/cargo-leptos) tool.
If you don't have `cargo-leptos` installed you can install it with
`cargo install --locked cargo-leptos`
Then run
`npx tailwindcss -i ./input.css -o ./style/output.css --watch`
and
`cargo leptos watch`
in this directory.
Open browser on [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)
You can begin editing your app at `src/app.rs`.
## Installing Tailwind
You can install Tailwind using `npm`:
```bash
npm install -D tailwindcss
```
If you'd rather not use `npm`, you can install the Tailwind binary [here](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases).
## Setting up with VS Code and Additional Tools
If you're using VS Code, add the following to your `settings.json`
```json
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"rust": "html",
"*.rs": "html"
},
"tailwindCSS.includeLanguages": {
"rust": "html",
"*.rs": "html"
},
"files.associations": {
"*.rs": "rust"
},
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": "on",
"comments": "on",
"strings": true
},
"css.validate": false,
```
Install [Tailwind CSS Intellisense](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss).
Install "VS Browser" extension, a browser at the right window.
Allow vscode Ports forward: 3000, 3001.
## Notes about Tooling
By default, `cargo-leptos` uses `nightly` Rust, `cargo-generate`, and `sass`. If you run into any trouble, you may need to install one or more of these tools.
1. `rustup toolchain install nightly --allow-downgrade` - make sure you have Rust nightly
2. `rustup default nightly` - setup nightly as default, or you can use rust-toolchain file later on
3. `rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown` - add the ability to compile Rust to WebAssembly
4. `cargo install cargo-generate` - install `cargo-generate` binary (should be installed automatically in future)
5. `npm install -g sass` - install `dart-sass` (should be optional in future
## Alternatives to cargo-leptos
This crate can be run without `cargo-leptos`, using `wasm-pack` and `cargo`. To do so, you'll need to install some other tools.
0. `cargo install wasm-pack`
1. Edit the `[package.metadata.leptos]` section and set `site-root` to `"."`. You'll also want to change the path of the `<StyleSheet / >` component in the root component to point towards the CSS file in the root. This tells leptos that the WASM/JS files generated by wasm-pack are available at `./pkg` and that the CSS files are no longer processed by cargo-leptos. Building to alternative folders is not supported at this time. You'll also want to edit the call to `get_configuration()` to pass in `Some(Cargo.toml)`, so that Leptos will read the settings instead of cargo-leptos. If you do so, your file/folder names cannot include dashes.
### Server Side Rendering With Hydration
To run it as a server side app with hydration, first you should run
```bash
wasm-pack build --target=web --no-default-features --features=hydrate
```
to generate the WebAssembly to hydrate the HTML delivered from the server.
Then run the server with `cargo run` to serve the server side rendered HTML and the WASM bundle for hydration.
```bash
cargo run --no-default-features --features=ssr
```
> Note that if your hydration code changes, you will have to rerun the wasm-pack command above before running
> `cargo run`
### Client Side Rendering
You'll need to install trunk to client side render this bundle.
1. `cargo install trunk`
Then the site can be served with `trunk serve --open`
