Canvas UI
UI Renderer runs on top of the HTML5 Canvas
Overview
Canvas UI is an innovative UI renderer that operates on HTML Canvas, offering a range of React components designed to streamline the development of Canvas-based applications. This powerful tool caters to developers' existing expertise, making it easy to structure applications without needing to learn a new framework from scratch. With its unique DOM-like scene tree, Canvas UI allows for intuitive element manipulation, akin to what developers experience with traditional DOM elements.
The library empowers developers to leverage a rich set of features while maintaining familiarity with React. This combination not only enhances productivity but also opens up new avenues for creating visually appealing and interactive applications.
Features
-
Seamless React Integration: Effortlessly incorporate Canvas UI into existing React applications, making it accessible and easy to use for React developers.
-
DOM-like Scene Tree: Manipulate Canvas elements just like DOM elements, allowing for straightforward and intuitive element management.
-
Flex Layout: Utilize flexible layouts to organize UI components, promoting responsive and adaptive designs.
-
Animation Support: Create dynamic experiences with motion-based animations, enhancing the overall interactivity of applications.
-
Typographic Capabilities: Support for basic text features including automatic word wrapping, alignment, and text overflow, ensuring clean and readable interfaces.
-
CSS Styles: Apply CSS styles using the style attribute, enabling familiar styling practices within the Canvas environment.
-
Interaction Events: Handle user interactions seamlessly through PointerEvents and WheelEvent, allowing for rich user engagement.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Rollup
RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
