Leptos is a Rust framework for building web apps. Compiles to WebAssembly for the client, native Rust for the server. Fine-grained reactivity like SolidJS, but in Rust.
Quick Start
cargo install cargo-leptos
cargo leptos new --git leptos-rs/start
cd my-app && cargo leptos watch
Components
use leptos::*;
#[component]
fn Counter() -> impl IntoView {
let (count, set_count) = create_signal(0);
view! {
<button on:click=move |_| set_count.update(|n| *n += 1)>
"Count: " {count}
</button>
}
}
Server Functions
#[server(GetPosts)]
pub async fn get_posts() -> Result<Vec<Post>, ServerFnError> {
let posts = db::get_all_posts().await?;
Ok(posts)
}
#[component]
fn PostList() -> impl IntoView {
let posts = create_resource(|| (), |_| get_posts());
view! {
<Suspense fallback=move || view! { <p>"Loading..."</p> }>
{move || posts.get().map(|data| view! {
<For each=move || data.clone() key=|p| p.id let:post>
<p>{post.title}</p>
</For>
})}
</Suspense>
}
}
Why Rust for Web?
| Leptos (Rust) | Next.js (JS) | |
|---|---|---|
| WASM bundle | ~200KB | ~300KB+ |
| Runtime perf | Fastest | Good |
| Type safety | Compiler-enforced | TypeScript |
| Memory safety | Guaranteed | GC |
The Bottom Line
Leptos is for Rust developers who want full-stack web. Compiler-level safety, WebAssembly performance, SolidJS-style reactivity.
