How to allow for a backgroud job to execute on the server side

[Mistera91]

Hi !

I’m still new to Dioxus, didn’t had the time to build big things, but so far so good, and I’m loving this framework.

However, I couldn’t find documentation on how to build a server binary that :

1. runs a « real program » (which should, for example, get data from APIs, and move some files in the background).
2. serves the web page.
3. answers to API requests, using the data from the main program, and potentially modify this data.

Currently all I can do is separate functions that do separate stuff and never interact with each other, except through file manipulations, but I’m not sure this is very async-friendly).

My end goal is to have, for example, and app that continuously fetches and sends data from and to another server, and when asked (through API requests), can sum up the exchanged data (and obviously serve the web app too).

My main question is : How to structure the codebase the Dioxus way ? (all in one codebase)
(also I couldn’t figure out how to run the server without dx serve web)

You can start from https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/tree/main/examples/fullstack-auth/src or workspace template from dioxus. Seperate the server side like on the fullstack-auth example. For workers i would suggest using https://github.com/geofmureithi/apalis as it also have web dashboard and one example for axum integration.

Thank you very much for your reply, I’ll look into this.
