fluid

---

Overview

• Declarative UI library aimed to support modern UI
  • New solver focus
  • No defaults (Causes friction with stylesheets)
• Focus on correctness, simplicity, & stability
• Mixed-table approach to properties & children. fluid.create("Frame")({ Name = "hi", child() })
• Go fast and try things out, we can slow down when we approach 1.0

Interesting features

This section details the interesting bits where Fluid has an advantage.

• Support for async reactive nodes. fluid.async
• Push-pull reactive graph with deferred mode
• interval utility to poll values. fluid.interval will run at the specified hz
• Exported UsedAs type
• _G.__DEV__ for development mode, which will enhance error messages & print useful information at the cost of performance.

Prior Art

• Heavily based off Vide, which is based off solidjs. This project started as a series of W.I.P. pull requests to Vide, which ended up in full (opinionated) rewrites and significant breaking changes.
  • Vide was used as reference for implementing the reactive graph functions (derive, source, )
• Utilizes Alice's hybrid push-pull reactive graph (based off Vide's reactive graph)
• Animation, time & color utilities inspired by Fusion.
