Using a database in fullstack

[w3irdrobot]

Currently, I am using the DioxusLabs/template repo as the basis for a new Dioxus fullstack project using Axum as the backend framework. Looking at the project, I can't see a way to add a piece of state to the underlying Axum server that I can then use an extractor to use the database pool in a server function. The only way I can think to accomplish this would be to pull out the underlying Axum server code that is executed when launch is called on the LaunchBuilder. This may be the only way, at least for now, but I'm just wondering if there is a cleaner way.

That is the best solution currently. There is an example of what the launch function uses internally here: https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/blob/master/packages/fullstack/src/adapters/axum_adapter.rs#L5-L54

so launch is just a nice wrapper around this kind of code? okay. that works. i thought that was the case. just wanted to make sure. are there any plans to open this up to more easy customization than completely not using the launch method? or even extending the template repo to allow for scaffolding this code if the end developer is wanting to customize the server more?

I would love to make it easier to integrate external state into dioxus fullstack. Could you open an issue?

In 0.7 (starting development in January-ish) there is a lot more work on fullstack planed including an abstraction around databases

i'd love to open an issue. will link here in it for context.

looking forward to new improvements. is there a project board or something for dioxus? i am trying to use it more in side projects i'm playing around with and would be willing to take a story here or there to help out its progress.

Yes, there is a roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/DioxusLabs/projects/7 and some good first issues here https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

There is also a contributor guide here that explains some testing + internals stuff that could be useful: https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.4/contributing
