**Freya** is a **cross-platform and non-web** GUI library for Rust powered by 🎨 [Skia](https://skia.org/).

> :warning: I recently rewrote a huge percentage of Freya in https://github.com/marc2332/freya/pull/1351, so the `main` branch differs a lot from the latest stable release.

#### Counter example
<table>
<tr>
<td style="border:hidden;">

```rust
fn app() -> impl IntoElement {
    let mut count = use_state(|| 4);

    let counter = rect()
        .width(Size::fill())
        .height(Size::percent(50.))
        .center()
        .color((255, 255, 255))
        .background((15, 163, 242))
        .font_weight(FontWeight::BOLD)
        .font_size(75.)
        .shadow((0., 4., 20., 4., (0, 0, 0, 80)))
        .child(count.read().to_string());

    let actions = rect()
        .horizontal()
        .width(Size::fill())
        .height(Size::percent(50.))
        .center()
        .spacing(8.0)
        .child(
            Button::new()
                .on_press(move |_| {
                    *count.write() += 1;
                })
                .child("Increase"),
        )
        .child(
            Button::new()
                .on_press(move |_| {
                    *count.write() -= 1;
                })
                .child("Decrease"),
        );

    rect().child(counter).child(actions)
}
```

### Features ✨
- **Component Model**: Separate UI pieces by turning them into reusable components that. Each component takes some **Input**, might manage some inner **State** and ultimately returns a **UI**.
- **Headless Testing**: Easily test your UI logic in a headless environment, supports all the normal features. In fact most of the internal components and features are tested with it.
- **i18n (Language Translation)**: Easily translate your apps with `freya-i18` using the Fluent language.
- **Shaders**: Render from simple to complex shaders using the Skia Shaders language (SlSl).
- **a11y (Accessibility)**: You can make your UI elements accessible by using the a11y attributes.
- **Built-in Components**: Freya comes with a set of ready-to-use components, these include ScrollViews, VirtualScrollViews, Buttons, Switch, Slider, etc.
- **Animations**: Easily animate your UI whether its a size or a color. You have full control over its behavior.
- **Text Editing**: Freya supports from simple to rich text editing. You can even make cloned editors, virtualized editors, etc.

- **Efficient Global State**: Efficiently manage a global state based on topics subscription using `freya-radio`.
- **Icons**: Easily add icons to your app using `freya-icons`, currently only supports Lucide.
- **Devtools**: Inspect your app UI tree to to debug, or see performance state.
- **Routing**: Manage your app UI in separate routes using `freya-router`.

- And to the rest of contributors and anybody who gave me any kind of feedback!

### History with Dioxus
Freya 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 were based on the core crates of Dioxus. Starting 0.4 Freya does no longer use Dioxus, instead it uses its own reactive core, partially inspired by Dioxus but yet with lots of differences.
