SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Builds cross-platform Rust GUI apps with a cohesive set of concepts (RSX, signals, hooks, component model, props, context, event handling, routing, and a virtual DOM) to reduce boilerplate and accelerate UI development.

Core Features & Use Cases

RSX macro-based UI: write declarative interfaces in Rust using the rsx! macro.
Reactive state with Signals: manage local and derived state with auto-subscriptions and predictable lifecycles.
Component model and props: compose reusable components with typed props and children.
Context and routing basics: share state and navigate between typed routes across platforms.

Quick Start

Create a tiny Dioxus app with a counter and a linked route to demonstrate signals, props, and routing.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build cross-platform Rust GUI apps that work on web and desktop?▼

Build cross-platform Rust GUI apps using the Dioxus framework, which compiles to WASM for web and native targets for desktop. It provides a virtual DOM and RSX macro to write declarative interfaces once and deploy across platforms.

How do I manage reactive state in Rust without manual subscription boilerplate?▼

Manage reactive state in Rust using Dioxus Signals, which automatically track dependencies and trigger UI updates. Signals handle local and derived state with predictable lifecycles, eliminating manual subscription management.

What is the best way to write declarative UI components in Rust?▼

Write declarative UI components in Rust using the Dioxus rsx! macro. This macro allows you to compose reusable components with typed props and children, significantly reducing boilerplate compared to building UIs programmatically.

Does Dioxus support typed routing and context sharing across different platforms?▼

Yes, Dioxus supports typed routing and context sharing across web, desktop, and mobile targets. You can navigate between typed routes and share state globally using context, maintaining a cohesive component lifecycle.

How do I get started with a minimal Dioxus app demonstrating state and navigation?▼

Start by creating a tiny Dioxus app with a counter and a linked route. This minimal runnable example demonstrates core concepts including signals for state, event handling, props, and routing navigation.

Can I use Dioxus hooks to handle component lifecycle and state in Rust GUI applications?▼

Yes, Dioxus hooks manage component lifecycle and state in Rust GUI applications. Hooks integrate with the virtual DOM to handle state initialization, updates, and cleanup within practical scenarios.
