Virtual DOM

At the heart of the Percy toolkit is percy-dom, a crate that provides a virtual dom implementation that allows you to write functional front-end applications.

This same percy-dom also works on the backend by rendering to a String instead of a DOM element. This ability to render on the backend is commonly referred to as server side rendering.

use percy_dom::prelude::*;

// The most basic example of rendering to a String
fn main () {
  let component = html! { <div id="my-id"> Hello world </div> };
  println!("{}", component);
  // <div id="my-id">Hello world</div>
}
