Stack

• Dioxus 0.7.x (fullstack + router)
• Axum 0.8
• SurrealDB 3.x
• TailwindCSS

Local Development

Prerequisites

• Rust
• Dioxus CLI
• SurrealDB
• Node.js / npm

Install Dioxus CLI:

cargo install dioxus-cli

Prepare the database (schema lives in database/schema/, managed by surrealkit):

./db.sh
cargo binstall surrealkit
surrealkit sync

Install frontend tooling:

npm install

Run Dioxus fullstack dev server with Subsecond hotpatch:

dx serve --web --hotpatch

dx automatically compiles Tailwind when tailwind.css exists in the project root.

Build

Bundle app:

dx bundle --web --release
