We are now at the stage where we can build a web application that can manage a range of HTTP requests with different methods and data. This is useful, especially if we are building a server for microservices. However, we also want non-programmers to interact with our application to use it. To enable non-programmers to use our application, we must create a graphical user interface. However, it must be noted that this chapter does not contain much Rust. This is because other languages exist to render a graphical user interface. We will mainly use HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. These tools are mature and widely used for frontend web development. While I personally love Rust (otherwise I wouldn’t be writing a book on it), we must use the right tool for the right job. At the time of writing this book, we can build a frontend application in Rust using the Yew framework. However, being able to fuse more mature tools into our Rust technical stack is a...
