# Ratzilla

Build terminal-themed web applications with Rust and WebAssembly. Powered by [Ratatui].

## Quickstart

Add **Ratzilla** as a dependency in your `Cargo.toml`:

```sh
cargo add ratzilla
```

Here is a minimal example:

```rust no_run
use std::{cell::RefCell, io, rc::Rc};

use ratzilla::ratatui::{
    layout::Alignment,
    style::Color,
    widgets::{Block, Paragraph},
    Terminal,
};

use ratzilla::{event::KeyCode, DomBackend, WebRenderer};

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    let counter = Rc::new(RefCell::new(0));
    let backend = DomBackend::new()?;
    let terminal = Terminal::new(backend)?;

    terminal.on_key_event({
        let counter_cloned = counter.clone();
        move |key_event| {
            if key_event.code == KeyCode::Char(' ') {
                let mut counter = counter_cloned.borrow_mut();
                *counter += 1;
            }
        }
    });

    terminal.draw_web(move |f| {
        let counter = counter.borrow();
        f.render_widget(
            Paragraph::new(format!("Count: {counter}"))
                .alignment(Alignment::Center)
                .block(
                    Block::bordered()
                        .title("Ratzilla")
                        .title_alignment(Alignment::Center)
                        .border_style(Color::Yellow),
                ),
            f.area(),
        );
    });

    Ok(())
}
```

Then add your `index.html` which imports the JavaScript module:

<details>
  <summary>index.html</summary>
  
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta
      name="viewport"
      content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"
    />
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/firacode/6.2.0/fira_code.min.css"
    />
    <title>Ratzilla</title>
    <style>
      body {
        margin: 0;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100vh;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
        align-content: center;
        background-color: #121212;
      }
      pre {
        font-family: "Fira Code", monospace;
        font-size: 16px;
        margin: 0px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script type="module">
      import init from "./pkg/ratzilla.js";
      init();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```

</details>

Install [trunk] to build and serve the web application.

```sh
cargo install --locked trunk
```

Add compilation target `wasm32-unknown-unknown`:

```sh
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
```

Then serve it on your browser:

```sh
trunk serve
```

Now go to [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) and enjoy TUIs in your browser!
