This is a work-in-progress, cross-platform, small, web-inspired user interface toolkit.
coming soon!
| platform | Link | Rendering | Asset Loading | Event Handling | |---|---|---|---|---| | web | acrylic-web | ☑ | ☑ | | | wayland | acrylic-wayland | glitchy | ☑ | | | x11 | | | | | | gdi | | | | | | fbdev | | | | | | drmkms | | | | |
We will first create directories for our application:
sh
$ mkdir -p my-app/src my-app/assets
$ cd my-app
Create a basic layout for your user interface:
```xml
The XML tags are not documented yet.
Create a rust file which will start our application:
```xml // my-app/src/app.rs
use platform::app; use platform::log; use platform::blit; use acrylic::app::Application; use acrylic::xml::ViewLoader;
app!("assets/", { let loader = ViewLoader::new("default.xml"); Application::new(&log, &blit, (), loader) });
```

As our most functional platform is acrylic-web, we are going to build for it. Install the corresponding rustc target, a minimal http server and a page which will start our app.
sh
$ rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
$ cargo install httpserv
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NathanRoyer/acrylic-web/main/index.html > index.html
$ httpserv > /dev/null &
Create a cargo manifest for this platform:
```toml
[package] name = "my-app" version = "0.1.0" edition = "2021"
[lib] crate-type = [ "cdylib" ] path = "src/app.rs"
[dependencies] acrylic = "0.1.25" platform = { package = "acrylic-web", version = "0.1.25" } ```
Build:
sh
$ cargo build -r --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
