We have seen how a complete frontend web app can be built using Rust, by using the cargo-web command, the Wasm code generator, and the Yew framework. Such apps are modular and well structured, as they use the Elm Architecture, which is a variant of the MVC architectural pattern.
We created six apps, and we saw how they worked—incr, adder, login, yauth, persons_db, and yclient.
In particular, you learned how to build and run a Wasm project. We looked at the MVC architectural pattern for building interactive apps. We covered how the Yew framework supports the creation of apps implementing an MVC pattern, specifically according to the Elm Architecture. We also saw how to structure an app in several components and how to keep a common header and footer, while the body of the app changes from page to page. And at the end, we learned how to use Yew to communicate with a backend app, possibly running on a different computer, packaging data in JSON format.
