Philosophy
The UI is a projection of a virtual world onto the screen.
Iris UI embraces a unique approach to building user interfaces: instead of thinking about widgets and layouts, you model your application as a virtual world. The UI becomes a natural projection of this world onto the screen.
About Iris UI
Iris UI is a pure Rust UI framework that lets you build interfaces by modeling virtual worlds. Using Rust's type system and ergonomic syntax, you can create rich, interactive applications with a declarative approach.
Examples
Clock Example
A simple clock that updates the time every few milliseconds, demonstrating the World, Board, Card, Row, Text, and TextTimer components.
//! A simple little clock that updates the time every few milliseconds.
use iris_ui::prelude::*;
fn world() -> World {
World {
root: Board {
width: VIEWPORT_WIDTH,
height: VIEWPORT_HEIGHT,
h_align: HAlign::Center,
v_align: VAlign::Middle,
children: vec![Card {
children: vec![
Row {
children: vec![Text{
text: "Carpe diem 🎉",
..default()
}.into()],
..default()
},
Row {
children: vec![TextTimer{
format: "%H:%M:%S",
..default()
}.into()],
..default()
},
],
..default()
}],
..default()
}.into(),
}
}
fn main() {
iris_ui::launch(world);
}Lovely Girl Example
A minimal example demonstrating how to create custom widgets and model domain-specific virtual worlds.
//! A minimal example for `iris-ui` demonstrating basic usage.
use iris_ui::prelude::*;
#[derive(IntoWidget)]
struct LovelyGirl {
girl: Girl,
}
fn lovely_girl() -> LovelyGirl {
LovelyGirl {
girl: Girl {
hair_color: HairColor::Black,
skin_color: SkinColor::Yellow,
body_type: BodyType::Slim,
appearance: Appearance::Beautiful,
every_morning: vec![
GirlActions::SayHi,
GirlActions::PrepareBreakfast,
],
..default()
},
}
}
fn world() -> World {
World {
root: lovely_girl().into(),
..default()
}
}
fn main() {
iris_ui::launch(world);
