A modular toolkit for building isomorphic web apps with Rust + WebAssembly
View the isomorphic web app example live with a query string! 😉
An isomorphic web application allows the same application code (in our case Rust code) to be run on both the server-side and the client-side (usually a web browser).
In a browser our application renders to an HtmlElement, and on the server our application renders to a String.
For an example of an isomorphic web app in Rust check out the isomorphic example or view the isomorphic web app example live.

// CSS in Rust isn't required. You can use regular old
/* classes just fine! */
class="btn-bs4 btn-bs4-success",
>
{ "Click Me!" }
</button>
</div>
};
println!("{}", html.to_string());
}Please open issues / PRs explaining your intended use case and let's see if we should or shouldn't make percy support it!
Also feel free to open issues and PRs with any questions / thoughts that you have!
