What problem does it solve?

Building modern, declarative UIs inside Emacs buffers is tedious and error-prone when using imperative rendering. Vui.el provides a React-like model with components, state, and lifecycle, simplifying UI creation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative components: define UI with vui-defcomponent and render with vui-mount.
  • Reactive state and lifecycle: use hooks, on-mount, on-update, and on-unmount for predictable behavior.
  • Async and advanced layouts: supports vui-use-async, vui-hstack, vui-vstack, and a suite of primitives for complex interfaces.

Quick Start

Create and mount a simple vui component to an Emacs buffer to render your first UI.
