This is a leptos demo application that will help anyone who wants a hands-on and learn by experimenting in a working example.

It includes:

Leptos
actix-web
SSR
DB integration (sqlite)
Modal Window

To test it out, clone the repo and run.

git clone https://github.com/santhosh7403/demo-tools-app-leptos-07-actix-tailwind.git

cd demo-tools-app-leptos-07-actix-tailwind

cargo leptos watch or cargo leptos serve

This expects cargo-leptos is installed already, if you don't have cargo-leptos installed you can install it with

cargo install cargo-leptos --locked

By default, cargo-leptos uses nightly Rust, cargo-generate etc. If you run into any trouble, you may need to install one or more of these tools.

1. rustup toolchain install nightly --allow-downgrade - make sure you have Rust nightly
2. rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown - add the ability to compile Rust to WebAssembly
3. cargo install cargo-generate - install cargo-generate binary (should be installed automatically in future)

Update (2025-05-02):

Below issue appears resolved, hence switching back to nightly channel of rust (change in rust-toolchain.toml). A fresh clone of repo will not have any issue, above steps should work. Any test with old clone might need a `cargo update` and channel switch to nightly.

      # Update(2025-04-18)
    
       This app build seems breaking with 1.88.0.nightly release, with below error:
    
                       error[E0599]: no method named `source_file` found for struct `memo::proc_macro::Span` in the current scope
                       --> /home/santhosh/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/leptos_macro-0.7.8/src/lib.rs:360:22
                        |
                    360 |                 site.source_file().path(),
                        |                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
                        |
                    help: there is a method `source` with a similar name
                        |
                    360 -                 site.source_file().path(),
                    360 +                 site.source().path(),
    
    As a work around for now, adding a rust-toolchain.toml config file to force it to use 1.87.0 , at the project root folder.
    
    You may need install it with rustup as below.
    
    `rustup toolchain install nightly-2005-03-05-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`  - add this channel
    
    `rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown`  - adding wasm target to the newly added channel
    
    Now you may run the build.
    
    `cargo leptos watch`  or `cargo leptos serve` 

Application access
