---
Seed is a Rust front-end framework for creating fast and reliable web apps with an Elm-like architecture.
- completely written in Rust, including the templating system (e.g. `div!` macro).
- built-in state management that is based on the Elm architecture.
- clear and extensive documentation for Rust beginners and pros alike.
- WebAssembly.
## Why Seed?
Seed allows you to develop the front-end with all the benefits of Rust, meaning speed, safety, and too many more things to count.
The Seed templating system uses a macro syntax that makes Rustaceans feel right at home.
This means linting, formatting, and commenting will work, and it's all in Rust.
This is opposed to a JSX-like syntax that relies on IDE extensions to improve the developer experience.
## Why not Seed?
- It's not maintained at the moment.
- WebAssembly is newer with less support. [Browser compatibility is at 95.5%](https://caniuse.com/?search=webassembly).
- Pre-built components are rare. You will likely have to roll your own components such as date pickers.
- No server-side rendering yet [#232](https://github.com/seed-rs/seed/issues/232).
- You may prefer [other Rust frameworks](https://github.com/flosse/rust-web-framework-comparison#frontend-frameworks-wasm)
## Getting Started
To get started right away, we can use the quickstart template:
```sh
cargo install cargo-generate
cargo install trunk
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli
cargo generate --git https://github.com/seed-rs/seed-quickstart.git --name seed-quickstart
cd seed-quickstart
trunk serve
```
If you get an error about wasm being linked against a different version of `wasm-bindgen`, just follow the suggestion to run `cargo update -p wasm-bindgen`. This will fix the linkings.
You should now see a working counter app in your browser at `localhost:8080`.
## Getting into Seed
The [Seed website](https://seed-rs.org/) and the [library docs](https://docs.rs/seed/latest) are the best way to learn about the functionalities of Seed.
The [Seed examples](examples/) are another good resource.
[Trunk](https://github.com/thedodd/trunk) is the recommended application bundler for Seed.
Seed projects are typically run with `trunk serve` instead of `cargo run`.
You might also see `cargo make start project_name` in the examples. Going forward, we recommend using Trunk.
[Seed Styles](https://github.com/seed-rs/styles_hooks) is a styling library for Seed to create global and scoped styles.
To use web APIs, there is [`web-sys`](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/tree/master/crates/web-sys)
which is a part of the [`wasm-bindgen`](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen) project. `wasm-bindgen` is a dependency of Seed.
There are also two template repositories. However, they are not currently up to date.

- [Webpack quickstart](https://github.com/seed-rs/seed-quickstart-webpack)
## FAQ
### How stable is Seed?
As a framework, Seed is mostly feature-complete. You can build complete web apps in Seed.
Projects built in Seed do use Rust `stable`. Being in Rust, it's easy to create robust, predictable programs.
