Learn YEW with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Practical Examples
Todo list SPA in Rust/Wasm
Interactive charting dashboard with async data fetch
WebAssembly game with user input handling
CRUD frontend for a Rust backend service
WebSocket-based realtime chat application
Troubleshooting
Ensure Rust toolchain and wasm-pack/trunk are installed
Check browser console for runtime errors
Verify proper async/await usage with wasm-bindgen-futures
Inspect component message flows and state updates
Ensure all dependencies are correctly declared in Cargo.toml
Testing Guide
Unit test components with Rust testing framework
Integration tests for async interactions
Use `wasm-bindgen-test` for Wasm-specific tests
Browser-based testing with headless browsers
Check component reactivity and state changes
Deployment Options
Compile to Wasm and host on static server
Use Trunk to bundle Wasm, JS glue, and static assets
Deploy via Netlify, Vercel, or any static hosting
Integrate with existing Rust backend APIs
Serve SPA through CDN for fast global access
Tools Ecosystem
Rust and Cargo
wasm-pack for WebAssembly builds
Trunk for development and bundling
web-sys and js-sys for JS interop
Yew component crates and libraries
Integrations
Fetch API for HTTP requests
WebSocket and WebRTC for realtime communication
Local storage and IndexedDB via web-sys
Integration with JS libraries via wasm-bindgen
Yew Router for SPA navigation
Productivity Tips
Use component modularity to simplify maintenance
Leverage Rust compiler for early bug detection
Optimize virtual DOM updates
Use wasm-bindgen efficiently for JS interop
Minimize Wasm bundle size for faster load
Challenges
Rust compiler and Wasm toolchain setup
Debugging WebAssembly in browsers
Long compile times for large apps
Interoperating with existing JavaScript libraries
Managing complex component state efficiently
