Add a template for creating components

JetBrains IDEs

1. Navigate to File | Settings | Editor | Live Templates.
2. Select Rust and click on the + icon to add a new Live Template.
3. Give it a name and description of your preference.
4. Paste the following snippet(s) into the Template Text section.
5. Change the applicability on the lower right, select Rust > Item > Module

For function components, use the following template.

• (Optional) Click on Edit Variable and give tag a reasonable default value like "div", with double quotes.

#[derive(PartialEq, Properties)]
pub struct $Name$Props {
}

#[function_component]
pub fn $Name$(props: &$Name$Props) -> Html {
    html! {
        <$tag$>$END$</$tag$>
    }
}

For struct components, you can use the following more complicated template.

struct $NAME$;

enum $NAME$Msg {
}

impl Component for $NAME$ {
    type Message = $NAME$Msg;
    type Properties = ();

    fn create(ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Self {
        Self
    }

    fn view(&self, ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Html {
        html! {
            $HTML$
        }
    }
}

VS Code

1. Navigate to File > Preferences > User Snippets.
2. Select Rust as the language.
3. Add the following snippet in the snippet JSON file:

    "New Yew function component": {
        "prefix": "yewfc",
        "body": [
            "#[derive(PartialEq, Properties)]",
            "pub struct ${1:ComponentName}Props {}",
            "",
            "#[function_component]",
            "pub fn $1(props: &${1}Props) -> Html {",
            "    let ${1}Props {} = props;",
            "    html! {",
            "        <${2:div}>$0</${2}>",
            "    }",
            "}"

            "    type Message = ${1}Msg;",
            "    type Properties = ();",
            "",

            "        html! {",
            "            $0",
            "        }",
            "    }",
            "}"
        ],

Rust-Yew extension

This is a work in progress, and community maintained project! Please see details and direct related bug reports / issues / questions over to the extension's repository

Rust-Yew extension is available on VSC Marketplace, providing syntax highlight, renames, hover, and more.

Emmet support should work out of the box, if not please fall back to editing the settings.json file:

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
    "rust": "html",
}
