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 {
}

#[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 {}",
"",
"#[component]",
"pub fn $1(props: &${1}Props) -> Html {",
" let ${1}Props {} = props;",
" html! {",
" <${2:div}>$0</${2}>",
" }",
"}"
],
"description": "Create a minimal Yew function component"
},
"New Yew struct component": {
"prefix": "yewsc",
"body": [
"pub struct ${1:ComponentName};",
"",
"pub enum ${1}Msg {",
"}",
"",
"impl Component for ${1} {",
" type Message = ${1}Msg;",
" type Properties = ();",
"",
" fn create(ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Self {",
" Self",
" }",
"",
" fn view(&self, ctx: &Context<Self>) -> Html {",
" html! {",
" $0",
" }",
" }",
"}"
],
"description": "Create a new Yew component with a message enum"
}
}

The 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

The Rust-Yew extension is available on VSC Marketplace, providing syntax highlighting, 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",
}

Neovim

Lazyvim

The below configuration works with LazyVim and the lazy.vim plugin. Create a file in lua/plugins/nvim-lspconfig.lua (or update your lspconfig) with:

return {
{
"neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
init_options = {
userLanguages = {
eelixir = "html-eex",
eruby = "erb",
rust = "html",
},
},
},
}
