This Crate is Deprecated

This is an old implementation crate for Silkenweb that is no longer used.

A library for building reactive single page web apps.

Features

• Fine grained reactivity using signals to minimize DOM API calls
• No VDOM. Calls to the DOM API and your rendering code are minimized using signals.
• Uses plain Rust syntax rather than a macro DSL
• Downcasts Js objects for you where the type is known at compile time. For example:
  • input().dom_element() returns a web_sys::HtmlInputElement
  • button().on_click(...) passes your event handler a web_sys::HtmlInputElement and a web_sys::MouseEvent.

Example: A Simple Counter

use silkenweb::{
    elements::{button, div, p},
    mount,
    signal::Signal,
};

fn main() {
    let count = Signal::new(0);
    let set_count = count.write();
    let inc = move |_, _| set_count.replace(|&i| i + 1);
    let count_text = count.read().map(|i| format!("{}", i));

    let app = div()
        .child(button().on_click(inc).text("+"))
        .child(p().text(count_text));

    mount("app", app);
}
