FlowUI

A SwiftUI-inspired library for building web interfaces with a fluent API.

v0.0.5

All wishful thing for now :')

import { VStack, Text, Button, State, mount } from '@notswssr/flowui';

function Counter() {
  const count = new State(0);
  
  return VStack(
    Text("Counter")
      .font(.headline)
      .padding("bottom", 20),
      
    Button("+")
      .onTap(() => count.value++)
      .padding(10),
      
    Text("0")
      .bind(count, (value, component) => {
        component.text(value.toString());
      })
  );
}

mount(Counter(), "#app");

A bit more advance counter with new two data binding

function CounterExample() {
    const counter = new State(0);

    const CountButton = (label: string) => Button(label)
        .padding("all", 10)
        .foregroundColor(Color.white)
        .backgroundColor(Color.blue)
        .frame({ width: "max-content" })
        .cornerRadius(6)

    return HStack(
        CountButton("-")
            .onTap(() => counter.value--),

        Text("Count")
            .foregroundColor(Color.red)
            .bindTo(counter),

        CountButton("+")
            .onTap(() => counter.value++),

        Divider(),

        // You can now transform state into a component e.g text node and also format the value like below
        counter
            .format(x => `Hello, the count is: ${x}`)
            .to(Text("")),
    )
    .frame({ width: "100%" })
}

Basic Usage

Creating a Simple Component

import { Text, Button, VStack, mount } from '@notswssr/flowui';

function HelloWorld() {
  return VStack(
    Text("Hello, World!")
      .font(Font.headline())
      .foregroundColor(Color.blue),
    Button("Click Me")
      .onTap(() => alert("Button clicked!"))
      .padding(10)
  )
  .padding(20)
  .backgroundColor(Color.gray.opacity(0.1))
  .cornerRadius(10);
}

mount(HelloWorld(), "#app");

State Management

import { Text, Button, VStack, State, mount } from '@notswssr/flowui';

function Counter() {
  // Create state
  const count = new State(0);
  
  // Build UI
  return VStack(
    Text("Counter")
      .font(Font.headline())
      .padding("bottom", 20),
      
    Button("Increment")
      .onTap(() => count.value++)
      .padding(10),
      
    Text("0")
      .bind(count, (value, component) => {
        component.text(value.toString());
      })
  );
}

mount(Counter(), "#app");

Core Components

Layout Components

VStack: Vertical stack layout
HStack: Horizontal stack layout
ZStack: Depth stack for overlapping elements
Spacer: Flexible space
Grid: Responsive grid layout
ScrollView: Scrollable container

VStack(
  Text("Header"),
  HStack(
    Text("Left"),
    Spacer(),
    Text("Right")
  ),
  Grid({ xs: 1, md: 2 }, 16, [
    Card({ title: "Card 1", content: Text("Content 1") }),
    Card({ title: "Card 2", content: Text("Content 2") })
  ])
)

Basic Components

Text: For displaying text
Button: Interactive button
TextField: Text input field
Toggle: Boolean toggle switch
Image: Image display with loading state

VStack(
  Text("Login Form")
    .font(Font.headline()),
    
  TextField("Username")
    .padding("bottom", 10),
    
  TextField("Password")
    .padding("bottom", 20),
    
  Toggle(rememberMe)
    .padding("bottom", 20),
    
  Button("Sign In")
    .padding(10)
    .backgroundColor(Color.blue)
    .cornerRadius(8)
)

Advanced Components

Card: Container with header, content, and footer
List: Efficient list for rendering collections
Alert: Contextual alerts with various types
Modal: Modal dialog windows
TabView: Tabbed interface
Divider: Horizontal rule separator
Form: Form container with submission handling

Card({
  title: "User Profile",
  subtitle: "Personal information",
  content: VStack(
    Image("profile.jpg", { width: 100, height: 100 })
      .cornerRadius(50),
      
    Text("John Doe")
      .font(Font.headline()),
      
    Text("Software Developer")
      .foregroundColor(Color.gray)
  ),
  footer: Button("Edit Profile")
})

Style Modifiers

Apply styles using chainable modifiers:

Text("Hello World")
  .font(Font.headline())
  .foregroundColor(Color.blue)
  .padding(20)
  .backgroundColor(Color.gray.opacity(0.1))
  .cornerRadius(10)
  .border(Color.blue, 2)
  .frame({ width: 200, height: 100 })

Common modifiers:

padding(): Add space around content
backgroundColor(): Set background color
foregroundColor(): Set text color
font(): Set font style and size
cornerRadius(): Round corners
border(): Add border
frame(): Set dimensions
style(): Apply custom CSS

Animation and Transitions

Add animations to any component:

Button("Animated Button")
  .onTap(() => performAction())
  .animation(Animation.spring({ stiffness: 100, damping: 10 }))

Add transitions for enter/exit animations:

Text("Fade In Text")
  .transition(Transition.opacity())

Theming System

Using Themes

import { useTheme, VStack, Text, Button } from '@notswssr/flowui';

function ThemeDemo() {
  const { theme, toggleDarkMode } = useTheme();
  
  return VStack(
    Text(`Current Theme: ${theme.name}`)
      .foregroundColor(theme.colors.primary),
      
    Button(theme.isDark ? "Switch to Light" : "Switch to Dark")
      .onTap(() => toggleDarkMode())
  );
}

Creating Custom Themes

import { createTheme, Color, applyThemeToDocument } from '@notswssr/flowui';

const customTheme = createTheme({
  name: 'Custom Theme',
  colors: {
    primary: new Color('#6200EE'),
    secondary: new Color('#03DAC6'),
    background: new Color('#FAFAFA')
  }
});

// Apply the custom theme
applyThemeToDocument(customTheme);
