Xilem Web

Experimental implementation of the Xilem architecture for the Web

This is a prototype implementation of the Xilem architecture (through Xilem Core) using DOM elements as Xilem elements (unfortunately the two concepts have the same name).

Quickstart

The easiest way to start, is to use Trunk within some of the examples (see the web_examples/ directory). Run trunk serve, then navigate the browser to the link provided (usually http://localhost:8080).

Example

A minimal example to run an application with xilem_web:

use xilem_web::{
    document_body,
    elements::html::{button, div, p},
    interfaces::{Element as _, HtmlDivElement},
    App,
};

fn app_logic(clicks: &mut u32) -> impl HtmlDivElement<u32> + use<> {
    div((
        button(format!("clicked {clicks} times")).on_click(|clicks: &mut u32, _event| *clicks += 1),
        (*clicks >= 5).then_some(p("Huzzah, clicked at least 5 times")),
    ))
}

pub fn main() {
    let clicks = 0;
    App::new(document_body(), clicks, app_logic).run();
}

Minimum supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This version of Xilem Web has been verified to compile with Rust 1.88 and later.

Future versions of Xilem Web might increase the Rust version requirement. It will not be treated as a breaking change and as such can even happen with small patch releases.
