Custom Integration

[akelyasir]

Hi,

I want to use Leptos SSR. But I don't want to use the leptos watch feature, server and cargo.toml features. I want to integrate it to my own server application. Is there a way to use SSR without the server feature?

This may be an illogical question, I don't know much about Leptos. For example, SSR application can be done with dioxus virtual dom, this way it is easy to integrate it into special applications. I wanted to know if there is a similar way for Leptos.

Thanks

Sure.

You don't want to use:

• cargo leptos watch: not part of the crate, cargo-leptos is a (very convenient) separate build tool
• server: not sure what you mean by this
• Cargo.toml: I assume you're referring specifically to the cargo-leptos config sections of Cargo.toml, which of course you don't need if you're not using cargo-leptos

It is fairly straightforward to render a View directly to HTML (https://docs.rs/leptos/latest/leptos/ssr/fn.render_to_string.html). All the rest is just for convenience.

If you try and run into more specific issues feel free to ask, of course.

Hi @gbj

Thank you very much for your help. You got it right, thank you. Are there any disadvantages to using it this way? Will I have any problems with speed and usability? My purpose in using it is to be able to use it in a special backend structure. To use data from the backend as an html template (like tera) and to get the advantages of leptos.

Hi,

Is there any loss of performance when used this way? Also, can I still use all of Leptos' abilities?

Thanks

No and yes.
