Cot.rs

In case you missed it, we've recently published the 0.5 version of Cot! This release brings in a cache system, email sending support, bulk insert for the ORM, among other changes!

Have a look at the blog post about the release: mackow.ski/blog/cot-v05...

Cot The Rust web framework for lazy developers. Build secure, type-safe web apps with ease.

We plan to make releases much more often going forward instead of these 4-month gaps. It'll be much easier to remember what we've changed when it's fresh 😅

A screenshot of code showcasing FromRequestParts derive macro in use.

The new `FromRequestParts` derive macro cuts down on repetitive code. Instead of listing `Urls`, `StaticFiles`, and `RouteName` in every handler signature, you can bundle them into one struct. Small quality of life improvement that really adds up.

A screenshot of TOML configuration showing usage of redis as a backend for cache for session store.

Session stores are now pluggable, so you can switch between backends without touching your code. Use in-memory for development, Redis for production, or the new database-backed store, which is now the default since it's good enough until you need Redis performance.

An HTML form showing Cot support for chrono types in forms.

Forms are much more capable now. File uploads work out of the box just by using a pre-defined special type! Full chrono support means date and time pickers actually work properly, and you can configure HTML attributes programmatically with restrictions like "images only".

Nicely-looking error page on the Cot site.

Error handling got a complete redesign. Before, you mostly got 404s and 500s; now you get proper HTTP status codes for different error types. The new system uses a single error handler instead of separate ones, and we managed to shrink error structs from 110+ bytes down to just 8 bytes.

Cot v0.4 is out! This Rust web framework update brings significant improvements to error handling, forms, and session management. We've been working on this for four months and are quite pleased with how it turned out 🎉

The static file framework has been improved to support content hashing. This is a big win for production performance, as it allows you to use aggressive caching strategies without worrying about cache invalidation.

Another neat thing is the addition of the `IntoResponse` trait. This trait allows you to convert any type into a response, making it easier to return different types of responses from your request handlers.

One of the biggest features is the automatic OpenAPI specification generation! It allows you to generate a specification for your API endpoints automatically, making it almost zero effort to generate Swagger UI for your RESTful endpoints that will always be kept in sync with the source code.

The Cot v0.3.0 has just been released! This release introduces several new features, improvements, and bug fixes, making it even easier to build web applications with Cot.
