🎨 Windjammer UI

Pure Windjammer UI framework - Zero HTML/CSS/JavaScript required

---

🚀 Quick Start

Write Pure Windjammer

use windjammer_ui::*

fn main() {
    let app = Container::new()
        .child(Text::new("Hello, World!").size(TextSize::XLarge).bold().render())
        .child(Button::new("Click Me").variant(ButtonVariant::Primary).render())
        .child(Alert::success("Ready to build!").render())
        .render()
    
    println!("{}", app)
}

That's it! No HTML, no CSS, no JavaScript. Just pure Windjammer.

📦 Installation & Setup

1. Add Windjammer UI to your project

wj add windjammer-ui

2. Include the CSS (one time)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="windjammer-ui.css">

3. Write Windjammer code

use windjammer_ui::*

fn main() {
    let ui = Button::new("Hello").render()
    println!("{}", ui)
}

That's it! No build configuration, no webpack, no npm packages.

---

🏗️ Architecture

What Developers Write:

Button::new("Click Me")
    .variant(ButtonVariant::Primary)
    .size(ButtonSize::Large)
    .render()

What Gets Generated:

<button class="wj-button wj-button-primary wj-button-lg">
    Click Me
</button>

What Styles It:

/* Included in windjammer-ui.css */
.wj-button { padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 6px; ... }
.wj-button-primary { background: #667eea; color: white; ... }

Developers never write the HTML or CSS! They're auto-generated from pure Windjammer code.

🐛 Known Limitations

While Windjammer UI is production-ready, there are some platform-specific considerations:

Platform Support

• Desktop on Linux CI: Requires display server (X11/Wayland). CI tests web features only on Linux.
• iOS Features on Windows: macOS-specific dependencies (cocoa, core-foundation) are not available on Windows.
• Cross-compilation: Some features may require platform-specific system libraries.

Technical Limitations

• Event Handlers in HTML: Event handlers are not serializable to HTML strings (by design). Use the DOM rendering methods for interactive components.
• WASM Binary Size: Desktop features significantly increase WASM binary size. Use features = ["web"] for web-only builds.

Recommended Feature Configurations

# Web/WASM only (smallest bundle)
windjammer-ui = { version = "0.1.1", features = ["web"] }

# Desktop only (native windowing)
windjammer-ui = { version = "0.1.1", features = ["desktop"] }

# All platforms (largest bundle)
windjammer-ui = { version = "0.1.1", features = ["all-platforms"] }
