Dioxus Fullstack

Website | Guides | API Docs | Chat

Fullstack utilities for the Dioxus framework.

Features

• Integrates with the Axum server framework with utilities for serving and rendering Dioxus applications.
• Server functions allow you to call code on the server from the client as if it were a normal function.
• Instant RSX Hot reloading with dioxus-hot-reload.
• Passing root props from the server to the client.

Example

Full stack Dioxus in under 30 lines of code

#![allow(non_snake_case)]
use dioxus::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    dioxus::launch(App);
}

#[component]
fn App() -> Element {
    let mut meaning = use_signal(|| None);

    rsx! {
        h1 { "Meaning of life: {meaning:?}" }
        button {
            onclick: move |_| async move {
                if let Ok(data) = get_meaning("life the universe and everything".into()).await {
                    meaning.set(data);
                }
            },
            "Run a server function"
        }
    }
}

#[server]
async fn get_meaning(of: String) -> Result<Option<u32>, ServerFnError> {
    Ok(of.contains("life").then(|| 42))
}

Axum Integration

If you have an existing Axum router or you need more control over the server, you can use the DioxusRouterExt trait to integrate with your existing Axum router.

First, make sure your axum dependency is optional and enabled by the server feature flag. Axum cannot be compiled to wasm, so if it is enabled by default, it will cause a compile error:

[dependencies]
dioxus = { version = "*", features = ["fullstack"] }
axum = { version = "0.7.0", optional = true }
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"], optional = true }
dioxus-cli-config = { version = "*", optional = true }

[features]
server = ["dioxus/server", "dep:axum", "dep:tokio", "dioxus-cli-config"]
web = ["dioxus/web"]

Then we can set up dioxus with the axum server:

#![allow(non_snake_case)]
use dioxus::prelude::*;

// The entry point for the server
#[cfg(feature = "server")]
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // Get the address the server should run on. If the CLI is running, the CLI proxies fullstack into the main address
    // and we use the generated address the CLI gives us
    let address = dioxus::cli_config::fullstack_address_or_localhost();

    // Set up the axum router
    let router = axum::Router::new()
        // You can add a dioxus application to the router with the `serve_dioxus_application` method
        // This will add a fallback route to the router that will serve your component and server functions
        .serve_dioxus_application(ServeConfigBuilder::default(), App);

    // Finally, we can launch the server
    let router = router.into_make_service();
    let listener = tokio::net::TcpListener::bind(address).await.unwrap();
    axum::serve(listener, router).await.unwrap();
}

// For any other platform, we just launch the app
#[cfg(not(feature = "server"))]
fn main() {
    dioxus::launch(App);
}

#[component]
fn App() -> Element {
    let mut meaning = use_signal(|| None);

    rsx! {
        h1 { "Meaning of life: {meaning:?}" }
        button {
            onclick: move |_| async move {
                if let Ok(data) = get_meaning("life the universe and everything".into()).await {
                    meaning.set(data);
                }
            },
            "Run a server function"
        }
    }
}

#[server]
async fn get_meaning(of: String) -> Result<Option<u32>, ServerFnError> {
    Ok(of.contains("life").then(|| 42))
}
