Question 1

How do I add routing to a Yew app from this template?

Accepted Answer

Yew doesn't include built-in routing; you'll need to add a crate like yew-router and set it up manually, as the template only provides a basic structure without routing features.

Question 2

Yew vs React for WebAssembly projects?

Accepted Answer

Yew uses Rust for type safety and performance, while React relies on JavaScript with WebAssembly via tools like wasm-bindgen. Choose Yew for Rust-centric teams or React for broader ecosystem support.

Question 3

Can I use this template without yarn?

Accepted Answer

The template's scripts are configured for yarn, but you can adapt package.json to use npm or other package managers, though it may require manual adjustments to build commands.

Question 4

What's the benefit of using wee_alloc in WebAssembly?

Accepted Answer

wee_alloc reduces the WebAssembly binary size by optimizing memory allocation, which improves load times and performance, especially for resource-constrained environments like the web.

Question 5

How to deploy a Yew WebAssembly app built with this template?

Accepted Answer

Deploy the output files (e.g., from the dist folder) to static hosting services like GitHub Pages or Netlify, ensuring the server correctly serves .wasm files with application/wasm MIME type.

Question 6

Is Yew production-ready for large applications?

Accepted Answer

Yew is stable for many use cases, but it's less mature than JavaScript frameworks, so expect to handle more architectural decisions and potential breaking changes in updates.
