Showcase

https://longbridge.github.io/gpui-component/gallery/

Here is the first application: Longbridge Pro, built using GPUI Component.

Usage

toml
gpui = "0.2.2"
gpui-component = "0.5.1"

Basic Example

rs
use gpui::*;
use gpui_component::{button::*, *};

pub struct HelloWorld;
impl Render for HelloWorld {
    fn render(&mut self, _: &mut Window, _: &mut Context<Self>) -> impl IntoElement {
        div()
            .v_flex()
            .gap_2()
            .size_full()
            .items_center()
            .justify_center()
            .child("Hello, World!")
            .child(
                Button::new("ok")
                    .primary()
                    .label("Let's Go!")
                    .on_click(|_, _, _| println!("Clicked!")),
            )
    }
}

fn main() {
    let app = Application::new();

    app.run(move |cx| {
        // This must be called before using any GPUI Component features.
        gpui_component::init(cx);

        cx.spawn(async move |cx| {
            cx.open_window(WindowOptions::default(), |window, cx| {
                let view = cx.new(|_| HelloWorld);
                // This first level on the window, should be a Root.
                cx.new(|cx| Root::new(view, window, cx))
            })
            .expect("Failed to open window");
        })
        .detach();
    });
}

Icons

GPUI Component has an Icon element, but it does not include SVG files by default.

The example uses Lucide icons, but you can use any icons you like. Just name the SVG files as defined in IconName. You can add any icons you need to your project.

Development

We have a gallery of applications built with GPUI Component.

bash
cargo run

More examples can be found in the examples directory. You can run them with cargo run --example <example_name>.

You can also run the gallery in a web browser using WASM:

bash
cd crates/story-web

# Install dependencies (first time only)
make install

# Build and run development server
make dev

The gallery will be available at http://localhost:3000

For more details, see crates/story-web/README.md.

Check out CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
