Hypp enables you to create GUI applications using a declarative programming style drawing inspiration from other popular web frameworks.
The core abstraction is the Component, which usually represents some kind
of rectangle on the screen.
Hypp tries to analyze as much as possible from your template declarations - the ultimate goal being to produce the most efficient DOM updating code possible.
Hypp doesn't use a "virtual DOM". Instead it performs inline patching of the DOM exactly where a change happens, and does no DOM work at all if there are no changes.
Hypp strives to keep the amount of boilerplate code to an absolute minimum. Rust is a fantastic language, but nonetheless infamous for its verbosity. Our feeling is that when writing GUI code, you want to concentrating on the logic that decides what will be shown on the screen.
Hypp provides an advanced code generator that enables both ergonomic templates and efficient target code at the same time.
Hypp is not designed towards a specific target. Thus, using it in a web server works equally well as inside a browser. There are plans for targeting other GUI environments that use a DOM-like representation like widget trees.
Hypp is a work in progress. The surface syntax is not written in stone. Examples on how to use it currently can be found inside the code base.
- Self-update
- For loops in template
- Reduce amount of generated code using closures in patch
- Passing callbacks as props to other components
- typed argument(s) in callback slots
- support iterating any type
- Avoid copying into env for non-self-updatable components
- Support namespace with
typesyntax
