• Clay – UI Layout Library
  7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Dec 2024

  Cool! I also have a standalone implementation of CSS Grid [1]. Implemented in Rust in my case (and we also support Flexbox and Block layout). Looks like the licenses are both MIT (although you may want to add a LICENSE file to make that easier to find) so feel free to steal bits if you want. We aim to be fully web compatible, although we're not quite there yet.

  One thing we have that you may be particularly interested is a reasonably substantial test suite. The tests are defined as HTML snippets that we run through Chrome using webdriver in order the scrape (hopefully) correct assertions, and then format into pure-code unit tests. If you wanted to you could write your own test generator and reuse our snippets. (this test infrastructure is also partially shared with Yoga [2], the C++ Flexbox implementation that powers React Native)

• Web Browser Engineering

  For React Native the facebook engineers just gave up and were like "all you get is flexbox layout" and people were quite okay with that (although some people grumble about lack of display grid)

• Building Reddit’s Design System on iOS

  We still wanted to leverage a layout engine that could be performant and easy-to-use. After doing some performance testing with native UIKit, Autolayout, and a few other third-party options, we ended up bringing FlexLayout into the mix, which is a Swift implementation of Facebook’s Yoga layout engine. All RPL components utilize FlexLayout in order to lay out content fast and efficiently. While we’ve enjoyed using it, we’ve found a few touch points to be mindful of. There are some rough edges we’ve found, such as utilizing stack views with subviews that use FlexLayout, that often come at odds with both UIKit and FlexLayout’s layout engines.

  We have our own test suite (orginally derived from the test suite of Meta's Yoga layout library [0]) which consists of text fixtures that are small HTML snippets [1] and a test harness [2] that turns those into runnable tests, utilising headless chrome both to parse the HTML and to generate the assertions based on the layout that Chrome renders (so we are effectively comparing our implementation against Chrome). We currently have 686 generated tests (covering both Flexbox and CSS Grid).

  We would like to utilise the Web Platform Test suite [3], however these are not in a standard format and many of the tests require JavaScript so we are not currently able to do that.

• React vs React Native: How Different Are They, Really?

  React Native uses the Yoga engine under the hood, which allows you to use CSS properties to layout your React Native UI in a way that translates really well. Layout in Yoga is limited to Flexbox and absolute/relative positioning, however; there is no CSS grid and no display attribute. This keeps things simpler and more performant, but if developers are accustomed to using other layout techniques on the web, they’ll need to adjust to this new limitation.

• When dealing with UI, does any of you uses glViewport to layout your elements in the correct place?

• Taffy 0.2 Release: Blazing Fast UI Layout in Rust. Now with `gap`!
  3 projects | /r/rust | 24 Nov 2022

  PR #246 is super interesting to check out: by fixing the caching strategy, we were able to eliminate an exponential time (with respect to tree depth) performance penalty, and get comparable speeds for flat and deeply nested layouts (something I'd never expected to be possible). Preliminary benchmarks shows us significantly faster than yoga, Meta's C++ library for the same thing, especially on deep trees. Not too shabby for a tiny team of volunteers!
