⚠️ It's currently work in progress and not usable for production, but you can already play with it! You can join the Discord server if you have any question.

fn app(cx: Scope) -> Element { let mut count = use_state(&cx, || 0); cx.render(rsx!( container { height: "20%", width: "100%", background: "rgb(233, 196, 106)", padding: "25", color: "rgb(20, 33, 61)", label { font_size: "20", "Number is: {count}" } } container { height: "80%", width: "100%", background: "rgb(168, 218, 220)", color: "black", padding: "25", onclick: move |_| count += 1, label { "Click to increase!" } } ))

Want to try it? 🤔

Note for Windows: You need Visual Studio 2022.

Windows & MacOS:

cargo run --example counter

Linux:

cargo run --example counter --features x11

Features ✨

• Label and paragraphs
• Containers and rectangles
• Scroll views (nested too)
• Click, wheel, mouse /down/leave/over events
• Windows, Linux (needs x11 feature) and MacOS support
• Components library
• Animation hook

Goals 😁

• Fast
• Low memory usage
• Lightweight
• Secure
• Full cross platform
• Fluid animations

Ideas 💭

• Tauri integration
• Devtools

TO-DO 🚧

Besides all the tracking issues, here are some of the things to do:

• Support for percentages in padding
• Add Flex component (using taffy).
• Documentation
• Improve Auto calculation for width and height
• Investigate if image diffing can be speeded up (reference: DioxusLabs/dioxus#543 (comment))
• Better touchpad support
• Move layout calculation from the layout engine into the node's state? Not sure.
• Render shadows one layer below it's element to avoid overlapping with it's siblings
