You actually don't need extra build tools to release a Yew application but we recommend them. They make deployment and packaging much less of a headache by generating all of the wrapper JavaScript code necessary to run the .wasm file from your app in the browser.
You can check out the Starter Templates to get up and running quickly or read on to learn more about your options.
This tool was created by the Rust / Wasm Working Group and is the most actively developed tool for building WebAssembly applications. It supports packaging code into npm modules and has an accompanying Webpack plugin for easy integration with an existing JavaScript application. Find more information here.
