template engine blueprint

[erhards0812]

Thanks for sharing this project 😍

Is there a public roadmap that describes planned features?

At the moment this project seems to be focused on providing a API-Backend.
The generated controllers respond with json and the tests are in a folder called api.

Speaking for myself, I prefer solutions like HTMX and Laravel's Livewire
then writing the whole frontend in JS.

A quote from the livewire homepage...

Vue and React are extremely powerful, but the complexity they add
to a full-stack developer's workflow is insane.

askama for example provides a minimalist approach
and therefore aligns with gerust's goal of reducing complexity.

Furthermore by using a rust based template engine like askama, the power of rust could be used to render the frontend too.

Something like cargo generate controller <json/html> <controller name> would be nice.

Taking it a step further, an option to use a custom blueprint would be nice. (for example a custom blueprint that includes auth)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Currently, the issues are the closest to what we have to a "roadmap". There's still a bunch of major things missing (e.g. completing the documentation and defining a deployment story) before we can really move on towards making a proper roadmap.

I personally don't really see the use case of rendering HTML with Rust (I'm talking briefly about the reasoning for that in https://youtube.com/watch?v=5GM_ZubHyIk). That said, I'm not against adding support for it but I don't think it'll be prioritized very high on the list (for now) tbh…
