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 — --perf flag for rebuild stage timings

Quick Start

dart pub global activate duxt
duxt create my-app
cd my-app && dart pub get
