appy

Declarative cross-platform UI framework in Rust for native applications. More info in this article.

Running the examples locally

Should be as easy as cloning the code and running one of these:

cargo run --example hello --release
cargo run --example calculator --release
...

Check the examples folder for more examples. Btw, without the --release flag, it will still work, but your impression of the performance will probably not be that good.

Running the examples on Android

First install and set up cargo-sdl-apk.

Then, running the examples on android should be as easy as locally, almost:

cargo sdl-apk run --example hello

Changing rendering backend

Appy is, by default, using SDL to render its graphics. It also supports Glutin, which can be turned on as a feature. Check platform-examples/test-glutin for a project that is set up to use it. Running locally is done in the same way, i.e. with cargo run, but if you want to use Glutin on Android you need to use cargo-apk instead of cargo-sdl-apk.

Live reload

If you want live reload during development this can be done with cargo-watch. Install it and run:

cargo watch -x run

Appy - Declarative UI Framework for Native Application

This crate contains macros for Appy.

It is published as a separate crate due to technical reasons. See this stack overflow thread.

If it is not the case any more that it needs to be separate, please let me know!
