Polylithic Batteries-Included Web Framework for Rust
Build with all the power of Django’s batteries-included philosophy,
or compose only what you need—your choice, your way.
Why Reinhardt?
🔒 Type-Safe ORM
Compile-time validated queries via SeaQuery. No runtime surprises, no SQL injection by construction.
⚡ Batteries Included
Auth, REST, Admin, GraphQL, WebSockets, i18n, Pagination—all available, none mandatory.
🌐 Modern WASM Frontend
Built-in SSR + hydration via reinhardt-pages. Fine-grained reactivity, server functions, and component-based UI—no separate JS framework needed.
📱 One Source, Multi-Platform
Write once, deploy everywhere. Web, desktop, and mobile from a single Rust codebase. (Planned)
🎛️ 70+ Feature Flags
Fine-grained control over your build. Include only the features you use—minimal binary size, maximum flexibility.
🛠️ Django-Style CLI
Scaffold projects and apps with reinhardt-admin. Run dev server, execute migrations, collect static files—a familiar workflow for Django developers.
💉 FastAPI-Style DI
Automatic dependency injection via #[inject] and Depends<T>. Type-safe extraction of path params, query strings, headers, cookies, JSON, and form data.
🔌 WASM Plugin System
Extend your app with static compile-time plugins or dynamic WASM plugins loaded at runtime via wasmtime. Manage plugins from crates.io with built-in CLI.
📖 Auto OpenAPI & Browsable API
Zero-config OpenAPI schema generation plus a DRF-inspired browsable API interface. Interactive API documentation out of the box.
⚙️ Environment-Aware Config
Layered TOML settings per environment (base, local, staging, production) with REINHARDT_ENV profile switching. No external config crates needed.
🗄️ Multi-Database Support
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and CockroachDB via feature flags. Switch databases at compile time without changing application code.
