Fastro

Fast and simple web application framework for deno.

With near-native perfomance, you can:

  • Manage your routing, middlewares, and dependencies cleanly.
  • Simplifies JSON, HTML, JSX, and SSR initiation.
  • Take advantage of existing Deno objects and methods.

Getting started

Create a main.ts file for deno-cli entry point.

import application from "https://deno.land/x/fastro@v0.57.0/server/mod.ts";

const app = application();

app.get("/", () => "Hello world");

console.log("Listening on: http://localhost:8000");

await app.serve();

Run the app

deno run -A main.ts

HTML Render with SSR

Component

Create react component: app.tsx

import React from "https://esm.sh/react@17.0.2";

const App = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Hello Deno Land!</h1>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click the 🦕</button>
      <p>You clicked the 🦕 {count} times</p>
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Endpoint

Create routing file: api.tsx

import application, { response } from "https://deno.land/x/fastro@v0.57.0/server/mod.ts";
import rendering from "https://deno.land/x/fastro@v0.57.0/server/ssr.ts";
import App from "./app.tsx";

const ssr = rendering().component(<App />);

const app = application(ssr)
  .static("/static")
  .get("/", () => {
    return response(ssr).render({ title: "Hello world" });
  });

console.log("Listening on: http://localhost:8000");

await app.serve();
