## Why Revue?

> Build terminal UIs like you build web apps — with **CSS** and **reactive state**.

- **CSS Styling** — Write styles in familiar CSS syntax with variables, selectors, and animations
- **Reactive State** — Vue-inspired `Signal`/`Computed`/`Effect` system for automatic UI updates
- **80+ Widgets** — Rich component library: inputs, tables, charts, markdown, images, and more
- **Hot Reload** — See CSS changes instantly without restarting your app
- **Developer Tools** — Widget inspector, snapshot testing, and performance profiler built-in
- **Single Binary** — Pure Rust, no runtime dependencies, blazing fast

## Quick Start

```bash
cargo add revue
```

```rust
use revue::prelude::*;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let mut app = App::builder()
        .style("styles.css")
        .build();

    let counter = Counter::new();
    app.run(counter, |event, counter, _app| {
        if let Event::Key(key) = event {
            counter.handle_key(&key.key)
        } else {
            false
        }
    })
}

struct Counter {
    count: Signal<i32>,
}

impl Counter {
    fn new() -> Self {
        Self { count: signal(0) }
    }

    fn handle_key(&mut self, key: &Key) -> bool {
        match key {
            Key::Up => { self.count.update(|n| *n += 1); true }
            Key::Down => { self.count.update(|n| *n -= 1); true }
            _ => false,
        }
    }
}

impl View for Counter {
    fn render(&self, ctx: &mut RenderContext) {
        let count = self.count.get();
        vstack()
            .class("container")
            .child(Text::new(format!("Count: {}", count)).bold())
            .child(
                hstack().gap(1)
                    .child(Text::new("↑/↓ to change, q to quit"))
            )
            .render(ctx);
    }
}
```

```css
/* styles.css */
.container {
    padding: 2;
    gap: 1;
    border: rounded cyan;
    align-items: center;
}

button {
    padding: 0 2;
    background: var(--primary);
}

button:hover {
    background: var(--primary-dark);
}
```
