Dioxus Element Plus

Element UI components for Dioxus applications with pure Rust styling system.

This crate provides a comprehensive set of UI components styled with the popular Element Plus design system, designed for use with Dioxus framework. All styling is generated in pure Rust for zero runtime overhead. Hosted on GitHub: pauljohn21/dioxus-element-plug

Features

• 🎨 Pure Rust styling - Zero runtime overhead with compile-time CSS generation
• 🦀 Rust-native components - Type-safe components built for Dioxus 0.7
• 📦 Ready to use - Components work out of the box with proper styling
• 🎯 Consistent API - Intuitive props and events matching Dioxus patterns
• 📱 Responsive design - Mobile-friendly components with flexible grid system
• 🔥 Tree-shaking friendly - Only include styles for components you use
• ⚡ Zero dependencies - No SCSS compilation required at runtime

Quick Start

🎉 最简单的开始方式：只需 5 分钟就能创建运行的应用！

完整的端到端示例，请看 SIMPLE_START.md。

1. Add to your Cargo.toml

For production use:

[dependencies]
dioxus = { version = "0.7", features = ["web"] }
dioxus-element-plug = "0.1.5"

Or use directly from GitHub:

dioxus-element-plug = { git = "https://github.com/pauljohn21/dioxus-element-plug.git" }

2. Generate Styles with Pure Rust

The modern approach uses pure Rust CSS generation for zero runtime overhead:

use dioxus_element_plug::CompleteStyleManager;

// Generate complete Element Plus styles
let styles = CompleteStyleManager::new().generate_complete_styles();

rsx! {
    style { "{styles}" }
    
    // Your components here
    Button {
        variant: ButtonVariant::Primary,
        "Click me!"
    }
}

Tree-Shaking Optimization

For optimized builds, generate styles only for components you use:

let styles = CompleteStyleManager::new()
    .generate_styles_for_components(&["button", "input", "alert"]);

This approach eliminates unused CSS and produces smaller bundle sizes.

3. Use the components

use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_element_plug::{CompleteStyleManager, Button, ButtonVariant, Input, InputType, InputSize, Card, Row, Col};

fn App() -> Element {
    // Generate styles for better performance
    let styles = CompleteStyleManager::new().generate_complete_styles();
    
    rsx! {
        style { "{styles}" }
        
        div {
            style: "padding: 24px; background-color: #f5f7fa; min-height: 100vh;",
            
            h1 { "My App" }
            
            Card {
                h2 { "Welcome!" }
                
                Button {
                    variant: ButtonVariant::Primary,
                    "Click me!",
                }
                
                Input {
                    input_type: InputType::Text,
                    placeholder: "Enter text...",
                    size: InputSize::Medium,
                }
            }
            
            Row {
                Col { span: 12 {
                    p { "Full width column" }
                }}
            }
        }
    }
}

Modern Development Workflow

Since this is a complete, stable library, development focuses on:

• Integration Testing: Try the modern example
• Component Usage: Import and use components in your Dioxus projects
• Customization: Override theme colors via the Theme system

Theme Customization

Customize the theme using the built-in theme system:

use dioxus_element_plug::Theme;

// Create custom theme
let custom_theme = Theme::new()
    .with_primary_color("#1890ff")
    .with_font_size("16px");

// Generate styles with custom theme
let styles = CompleteStyleManager::new()
    .with_theme(custom_theme)
    .generate_complete_styles();

Component Development Status

• ✅ 95+ Components: All major Element Plus components implemented
• ✅ Pure Rust Styling: Zero runtime CSS compilation needed
• ✅ Type-Safe APIs: Compile-time validation for all props
• ✅ Complete Documentation: See docs.rs for detailed API docs
