Fluent Templates

This is an example of how to integrate Fluent Templates with Actix Web using the Handlebars templating engine.

Directory Structure

• src: Rust source code for web server and endpoint configuration
• templates: Handlebars templates (no text content is stored in the templates)
• locales: Fluent files containing translations for English (en) and French (fr)

Usage

cd templating/fluent
cargo run

After starting the server, you may visit the following pages:

• http://localhost:8080
• http://localhost:8080/Alice/documents
• http://localhost:8080/Bob/passwords
• http://localhost:8080/some-non-existing-page - 404 error rendered using template

This example implements language selection using the standard Accept-Language header, which is sent by browsers according to OS/browser settings. To view the translated pages, pass the Accept-Encoding header with en or fr. Values which do not have associated translation files will fall back to English.

# using HTTPie
http :8080/Alice/documents Accept-Language:fr

# using cURL
curl http://localhost:8080/Alice/documents -H 'accept-language: fr'
