Loco

🚂 Loco is Rust on Rails.

English · 中文

Loco is strongly inspired by Rails. If you know Rails and Rust, you'll feel at home. If you only know Rails and new to Rust, you'll find Loco refreshing. We do not assume you know Rails.

To get started quickly and see Loco in action, check out our casts video. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with the framework and see some of its key features in use.

cargo install loco-cli
cargo install sea-orm-cli # Only when DB is needed

Now you can create your new app (choose "SaaS app").

❯ loco new
✔ ❯ App name? · myapp
✔ ❯ What would you like to build? · SaaS app (with DB and user auth)

🚂 Loco app generated successfully in:
myapp

To configure a database , please run a local postgres database with loco:loco and a db named [insert app]_development.

docker run -d -p 5432:5432 \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=loco \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=myapp_development \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="loco" \
  postgres:15.3-alpine

A more advanced set of docker-compose.yml and Dockerfiles that include Redis and the mailtutan mailer are available for each starter on GitHub.

Now cd into your myapp and start your app:

$ cargo loco start
