A full-stack Rust template for building desktop apps with Yew frontend, Axum backend, and Tauri framework.
rust-yew-axum-tauri-desktop is a template project that provides a complete foundation for building desktop applications using Rust technologies. It solves the problem of setting up a full-stack Rust development environment by pre-integrating frontend (Yew), backend (Axum), and desktop packaging (Tauri) components.
Rust developers who want to build desktop applications using web technologies, particularly those interested in full-stack Rust development with WebAssembly frontends.
Developers choose this template because it provides a ready-to-use, opinionated setup that eliminates configuration complexity and demonstrates best practices for integrating multiple Rust web technologies into a desktop application workflow.
Rust + Yew + Axum + Tauri + Tailwindcss, full-stack Rust development for Desktop apps.

Combines Yew for frontend and Axum for backend in Rust, enabling a cohesive development experience as highlighted in the project's philosophy for building entire desktop apps with Rust.
Separates code into frontend, backend, server, and types crates, promoting clean architecture and ease of maintenance, as detailed in the README's crate structure.
Leverages Tauri for native desktop apps, resulting in smaller bundle sizes and better performance compared to Electron-based solutions, per the desktop packaging feature.
Provides both RESTful and WebSocket APIs out-of-the-box, facilitating real-time and traditional client-server communication without additional setup.
Requires proficiency in Rust, WebAssembly, Yew, Axum, and Tauri, making it inaccessible for developers unfamiliar with these technologies, as implied by the multi-tool installation steps.
Demands installing rustup, trunk, and tauri-cli separately, and managing multiple crates, which can be cumbersome and error-prone for initial configuration.
Rust's web and desktop libraries are less extensive than JavaScript's, potentially hindering access to pre-built components or community plugins for rapid development.
