aex

A D&D 5e character sheet and campaign dashboard for a text-based play-by-post game. The UI is in Russian.

What works today

• Campaign header: name, in-game date steppers, session counter, and Save / Load / Clear: download dashboard.json, import a file back, wipe to a blank campaign
• Undo/redo: header buttons and Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z / Ctrl+Y over edit bursts; Clear and import are undoable too
• Character page: prepared spells (free-text slots with level/description) and attunements (growable slots, clearable)
• Character sidebar: portrait, names, class, level, XP, hit points with temp HP bar, manual AC, hit dice, death saves, spell slots
• Inventories page (/inv): personal and party-common inventories, currency per denomination, item rows with quantity and weight steppers, move between inventories, remove
• Bundled 5e.tools item data (~5k items) with fuzzy search components (search is not mounted on a page yet)

State autosaves to localStorage (debounced) and survives reloads; export/ import round-trips through a JSON file. The phased plan is in ROADMAP.md.

Tech stack

• Rust, edition 2024, nightly toolchain (pinned in rust-toolchain.toml)
• Leptos 0.8 SSR (actix-web) + client-side hydration
• reactive_stores for the reactive state model
• SCSS (style/main.scss), compiled by dart-sass
• Playwright for end-to-end tests

Development

Prerequisites: cargo-leptos, dart-sass, and the wasm32-unknown-unknown target. The nightly toolchain installs itself via rust-toolchain.toml.

cargo install cargo-leptos
cargo leptos watch          # dev server with hot reload
# open http://127.0.0.1:3000

Other commands:

cargo leptos build --release            # production build
cargo leptos serve                      # dev server without the watcher
cargo check --no-default-features --features ssr --bin aex
cargo check --no-default-features --features hydrate --lib
cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --no-default-features --features hydrate --lib

Tests

End-to-end tests live in end2end/ (Playwright): a smoke spec and a persistence spec (reload keeps state; export/import round trip). With the dev server running:

cd end2end
npm install
npx playwright test --project=chromium

or let cargo-leptos manage the server: cargo leptos end2end.
