Taffy 0.3: UI layout in Rust, now with css-grid!

• taffy

  36 1,818 8.5 Rust

  A high performance rust-powered UI layout library

  

The focus of the next Taffy release will likely be making Taffy easier to integrate with, which will include a refactor which allows it to be used to easily layout a single widget without expecting to be provided with the entire tree (which is all but required for a sensible Iced integration). A pull request containing the WIP refactor (which the current iced_taffy crate is based on can be found here: https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy/pull/326.

  Pure Rust multi-line text handling

  

Expanding on the reply by nicoburns, I'd really like to see us use cosmic-text. Getting font loading, rendering, shaping and sizing right is a huge pain, and system76's solution is much nicer than anything that existed at the time the bevy_ui's approach was written.

  High performance HTML and CSS renderer powered by WGPU (by DioxusLabs)

  

There hasn't been too much progress on Blitz in the last few weeks (it will come), but there is now a new project Freya which is using a Dioxus frontend and rendering with Skia. That's currently using it's own layout system instead of Taffy though.

  Rich text layout library

  

Generally you'd use a UI framework that integrates Taffy, text layout, and a bunch of other plumbing into one toolkit. However, if you wanted to make such a thing yourself you would use a library like cosmic-text or parley

• vello

  31 1,968 9.4 Rust

  An experimental GPU compute-centric 2D renderer.

  

It seems like bevy is pretty committed to making it's own UI which uses bevy_ecs to store all the UI data, which Xilem is unlikely to adopt. However, the underlying renderer for Xilem (vello) does already have a bevy integration example, so it's likely that might be able to use Xilem with bevy as a 3rd-party package similar to the existing bevy_egui.

• iced_taffy

  3 12 4.4 Rust

  Library for using Taffy layout with the Iced GUI framework. It currently provides a single Grid component for 2D grid layout.

Yeah, that's my crate (https://github.com/nicoburns/iced_taffy). It'll be seeing more attention now that the grid work is finally released, but it'll probably require the next Taffy release in order to be releasable to crates.io.
