mix UI Library

mix is a high-performance UI library for Rust, inspired by Makepad's architecture but with a focus on simplicity and performance. mix provides a clean, modular API for building cross-platform user interfaces without the complexity of live rendering and compiler features.

Features

• High Performance: Built with performance in mind, using efficient rendering techniques
• Cross-Platform: Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Web (via WebAssembly)
• Modular Architecture: Clean separation between platform, drawing, and widget layers
• Simple API: Easy-to-use API for building UIs with minimal boilerplate
• Customizable Theming: Flexible theming system for consistent UI appearance

Architecture

mix is organized into three main modules:

1. platform: Core platform abstraction layer that handles windowing, events, and rendering
2. draw: Drawing primitives and utilities for 2D rendering
3. widgets: UI widgets and layout system

Getting Started

Add mix to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
mix = "0.1.0"

Create a simple application:

use mix::Cx;
use mix::event::Event;
use mix::*;

struct MyApp {
    window: Window,
}

impl MyApp {
    fn new() -> Self {
        let mut cx = Cx::new();

        // Create a view with a label
        let mut content = View::new(&mut cx);
        content.add_child(Label::new(&mut cx, "Hello, mix!"));

        // Create window with content
        let window = Window::new(&mut cx, "My App")
            .with_content(content);

        Self { window }
    }
}

impl AppMain for MyApp {
    fn handle_event(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, event: &Event) {
        self.window.handle_event(cx, event);

        if let Event::Draw = event {
            let mut cx2d = Cx2d::new(cx);
            self.window.draw(&mut cx2d);
        }
    }
}

app_main!(MyApp);
