Creative Projects for Rust Programmers

By: Carlo Milanesi

Overview of this book

Rust is a community-built language that solves pain points present in many other languages, thus improving performance and safety. In this book, you will explore the latest features of Rust by building robust applications across different domains and platforms. The book gets you up and running with high-quality open source libraries and frameworks available in the Rust ecosystem that can help you to develop efficient applications with Rust. You'll learn how to build projects in domains such as data access, RESTful web services, web applications, 2D games for web and desktop, interpreters and compilers, emulators, and Linux Kernel modules. For each of these application types, you'll use frameworks such as Actix, Tera, Yew, Quicksilver, ggez, and nom. This book will not only help you to build on your knowledge of Rust but also help you to choose an appropriate framework for building your project. By the end of this Rust book, you will have learned how to build fast and safe applications with Rust and have the real-world experience you need to advance in your career.

The adder app

Here, we'll see the implementation of the adder project, which we already saw how to build and use. Only that which differentiates it from the incr project will be examined.

First of all, there is a problem with the html macro expansion recursion level. It is so deep that it must be increased using the following directives at the beginning of the program:

#![recursion_limit = "128"]
#[macro_use]
extern crate yew;

Without them, a compilation error is generated. With more complex views, an even larger limit is required. The model contains the following fields:

addend1: String,
addend2: String,
sum: Option<f64>,

They represent the following, respectively:

  • The text inserted in the first box (addend1).
  • The text inserted in the second box (addend2).
  • The number calculated and to be displayed in the third box, if the calculation was performed and was successful, or nothing otherwise.

The handled events (that is, the messages) are as follows:

 ChangedAddend1(String...
