⚡️ Quickstart

Project structure:

. ├── Cargo.toml ├── assets │ ├── ferris.png │ └── default.xml └── src └── app.rs

An asset: ferris.png

You can get it here. Place it in assets/.

The view layout: default.xml

xml <x rem="1" style="default"> <inflate /> <y fixed="400" gap="10"> <inflate /> <png src="rustacean-flat-happy.png" /> <x fixed="40" gap="10"> <inflate /> <p txt="Rust rocks!" /> <inflate /> </x> <inflate /> </y> <inflate /> </x>

The code: app.rs

```rust use std::rc::Rc; use platform::app;

fn layout_selector() -> Rc { Rc::new("default.xml".into()) }

app!("./assets/", layout_selector, "default.json"); ```

The manifest: Cargo.toml

```toml [package] name = "my-app" version = "0.1.0" edition = "2021"

[lib] crate-type = [ "cdylib" ] path = "src/app.rs"

[dependencies] acrylic = "0.3.1"

building for the web

platform = { package = "acrylic-web", version = "0.3.1" } ```

Building

bash cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

Install a web server

httpserv is tiny and good enough for this demo.

bash cargo install httpserv

Download the HTML file which starts your app

You can get it here. Place it at the root of your project, next to the cargo manifest.

Start the web server

From the root of your project:

```bash

normal start:

httpserv

quiet + in the background

httpserv > /dev/null & ```

Then open http://localhost:8080/#release

Expected Result
