Reratui is a modern reactive terminal user interface (TUI) framework for Rust. It brings a React-inspired component model and hooks system to terminal applications.
Built on top of Ratatui, Reratui offers a declarative approach to creating complex TUIs with state management, effects, event handling, and asynchronous operations.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- React-like component model for building reusable and composable components.
- Fiber architecture with reconciliation, batched state updates, and dirty tracking.
- Comprehensive hooks system for state, effects, context, memoization, reducers, and references.
- Async support with hooks for futures, queries, mutations, and asynchronous effects.
- Keyboard, mouse, hover, drag, resize, and media query event handling.
- Timing hooks for timeouts and intervals.
- Undo and redo support with history hooks.
- Form validation and unique ID utilities.
- Uses Ratatui widgets for terminal rendering.
