Chapter 7: Implementing Partial Hydration for Interactive Components

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Chapter 7: Implementing Partial Hydration for Interactive Components

Welcome to Chapter 7! In the previous chapters, we built a robust foundation for our Static Site Generator (SSG), capable of parsing Markdown, extracting front matter, and rendering static HTML using Tera templates, including custom components. While this provides excellent performance for static content, many modern web applications require interactivity. This is where partial hydration comes into play.

In this chapter, we will extend our SSG to support interactive components that are initially rendered as static HTML on the server and then “hydrated” on the client-side with JavaScript and WebAssembly (WASM) to become interactive. This approach, often called “Island Architecture” (popularized by frameworks like Astro), offers the best of both worlds: fast initial page loads for static content and dynamic interactivity where needed, without shipping heavy JavaScript bundles for the entire page. We will use the Yew framework for our client-side WebAssembly components, leveraging Rust’s power end-to-end.

Chapter Introduction

Welcome to Chapter 10! So far, we’ve meticulously built a robust Mermaid code analyzer, validator, and fixer with a strong emphasis on correctness and maintainability. Our lexer, parser, AST, and rule engine are designed to be strict and deterministic. However, as diagrams grow in complexity and size, performance and memory footprint become critical concerns, especially for a production-grade CLI tool that might process thousands of lines of Mermaid code or be integrated into CI/CD pipelines.

Chapter 10: Incremental Builds and File System Watching

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Chapter 10: Incremental Builds and File System Watching

Welcome to Chapter 10! So far, our Rust-based Static Site Generator (SSG) can parse content, apply templates, generate routes, and output static HTML. However, with every change to a source file, our SSG currently rebuilds the entire site. While fast for small projects, this full rebuild approach quickly becomes a bottleneck for larger sites, leading to frustratingly long development cycles.

In this chapter, we will tackle this performance issue head-on by implementing two crucial features: incremental builds and file system watching. Incremental builds allow our SSG to intelligently detect changes and only re-process the necessary files, drastically reducing build times. Coupled with a file system watcher, this will enable an incredibly smooth developer experience: save a file, and the site automatically rebuilds and refreshes in milliseconds, showing your changes instantly.
