Rust/Yew Noob trying to deploy my fork of zzhack's Blog/Site

[wock9000]

Hi Misty and everyone!

I've managed to use the zzhack template for my own personal blog (and will be giving major kudos to zzhack team for this amazing repo!)

I'm currently at the stage of deployment - as in, I want to have my Yew Frontend deployed somewhere. I was wondering if there was an easy way to do this?

• I noticed a vercel.json file in the repo, but am unsure how to get it working, since Rust/WASM doesn't play as nicely with Vercel as Next.js.

• My current approach is to try an actix-server of some sort, but I'm learning as I'm going :)

Any tips and tricks to get this deployed would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks zzhacks team :)

(Of course, willing to provide any information required, in case this comment wasn't very descriptive)

Sincerely,
Anand

Here's a link to my fork at the moment! Quite a bit of work to go, but I'm happy with the progress I've made so far 😄

Hey! Andnasnd thank u for following zzhack and forked this repo to create ur own site, I'm glad someone make zzhack's code work :D

The vercel.json is used to be parsed by Vercel, and the Vercel will deploy it in a serverless container I guess. But as u see, the Vercel is not provided templates like Yew/Rust or something, but Vercel still can easier to deploy static files like HTML/CSS/JS, so u need to run trunk build to build dist files before, and try to deploy these dists files on Vercel.

However, having trigger build action(trunk build) before each deployment is a pain in the ass, so I put these actions(just like install deps -> build -> deploy) on CI, as u can see the .github/workflows that describe this things. U can create ur own version of .github/workflows/deploy-side.yml or use ur favorite CI platform.

Since the zzhack was published, A few people asked me to provide a template of the zzhack that they can use this template to create their own websites, I think providing a common template is a good thing that I wanna do, but I was thinking about how to do that for other developers can easier to use.

Actually, I'm working on zzhack-cli lol, which can fast generate a static site using zzhack template with just a few commands, but it's experimental, you can use it carefully. Also if u want, u can contribute PR or ur ideas to get it ready for release! lol

Hope the above information can help u.

Thank you so much Mist! This was extremely helpful. Let me dig into this more, and if I stumble and can't unblock myself, I'll be back!

Sorry Mist! Haven't had much time to dive deeper into this, I've been working on some other stuff. I'll close the discussion and will re-open it if I have any further questions!

Sincerely appreciate the help and detailed insight. It means a lot to me!
