SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you build distinctive, production-grade GPUI interfaces that look and feel consistent with shadcn/ui design principles instead of ending up with plain, inconsistent UI code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shadcn-inspired design system for GPUI: Establishes semantic theme tokens (colors, radius, shadows) plus a 4px spacing scale, typography hierarchy, and reusable interactive styling patterns.
  • Production-ready GPUI component guidance: Implements component architecture patterns (Render/RenderOnce, composability, variants as enums, retained-mode state via Model<T>) with real Rust element trees.
  • Accessible interactions by design: Ensures focus rings, keyboard navigation behaviors, and accessible naming for interactive elements to match shadcn/ui’s accessibility-first intent.

### Quick Start Use gpui-design to generate a GPUI page or widget for your Rust app, based on your required layout, theme (light/dark), and interaction behaviors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build GPUI components with shadcn/ui styling in Rust?

You can build GPUI components with shadcn/ui styling by applying semantic theme tokens, a 4px spacing scale, and retained-mode state via Model<T> to create distinctive, production-grade Rust desktop interfaces.

What is the best way to manage state in retained-mode GPUI applications?

The best way to manage state in retained-mode GPUI applications is using Model<T> patterns to handle stateful component architecture, ensuring your Rust element trees remain compositional and consistent with production-ready design principles.

Can I implement accessible keyboard navigation and focus rings in GPUI?

Yes, you can implement accessible keyboard navigation in GPUI by defining focus rings, hover/focus/active/disabled interactions, and accessible naming for interactive elements to match an accessibility-first design intent.

Does gpui-design support light and dark theme tokens for desktop apps?

Yes, gpui-design supports light and dark themes by establishing a semantic theme token system for colors, radius, and shadows, allowing you to generate GPUI pages based on your required theme constraints.

How do I structure reusable Rust element trees for GPUI widgets?

You structure reusable GPUI widgets by implementing component architecture patterns like Render/RenderOnce, using enums for variants, and applying consistent spacing, typography, and shadow conventions.

Why does my GPUI interface look plain and inconsistent?

Your GPUI interface looks plain and inconsistent without a semantic design system, but applying shadcn-inspired theme tokens, typography hierarchy, and reusable interactive styling patterns ensures a polished, production-grade result.
