Duxt
The meta-framework for Jaspr -- Build full-stack Dart web apps with module-based architecture, file-based routing, and powerful scaffolding.
Features
- Module-Based Architecture -- Organize code by feature with pages, components, models & APIs
- File-Based Routing -- Pages and markdown files auto-generate routes
- 3 Rendering Modes -- Static (SSG), Server (SSR), or Client (SPA)
- Namespace Support -- Nest modules under namespaces like
Admin/Post - Built-in Tailwind CSS -- Automatic compilation, no extra dependencies
- Desktop Apps -- Native desktop via Tauri with
duxt build desktop - Scaffold Generator -- Full CRUD from a single command
- Markdown Content -- Docs and blog content with frontmatter
- Security Middleware -- CORS, rate limiting, CSRF, security headers
- Multi-Target Builds -- Cross-compile for Linux, macOS, Windows
- Performance Tracing --
--perfflag for rebuild stage timings
