Rink: Like "Ink" but for Rust and Dioxus

The fastest portable TUIs in the west 🔫🤠🔫 🐎🔥🔥🔥

Rink lets you build terminal user interfaces in Rust with Dioxus.

You can use html-esque semantics with stylesheets, inline styles, tree hierarchy, components, etc, but your Tui app is probably not going to work well or look good in the web. It still technically is a limited subset of HTML, so use at your own risk.


static App: FC<()> = |cx| {
    cx.render(rsx!{
        div { 
            width: "100%", 
            height: "10px",
            background_color: "red",
            justify_content: "center",
            align_items: "center",

            "Hello world!"
        }
    })
}

Rink is basically a port of Ink but for Rust and Dioxus. Rink doesn't depend on Node.js or any other JavaScript runtime, so your binaries are portable and beautiful.

Status

Rink is currently under construction!

Rendering a VirtualDom works fine, but the ecosystem of hooks is not yet ready. Additionally, some bugs in the flexbox implementation might be quirky at times.

Features

Rink features:

Flexbox based layout system
CSS selectors
inline css support
Built-in focusing system
high-quality keyboard support
Support for events, hooks, and callbacks

Currently, HTML tags don't translate into any meaning inside of rink. So an input won't really mean anything nor does it have any additional functionality.
