Monomer
A cross-platform GUI library for Haskell
An easy to use, cross platform, GUI library for writing native Haskell
applications.
Monomer provides a framework similar to the Elm Architecture, allowing the creation
of GUIs using an extensible set of widgets with pure Haskell.
## Objectives
- Be easy to learn and use.
- Be extensible with custom widgets.
- Run on Windows, Linux and macOS.
- Have good documentation.
- Have good examples.
### These are not objectives for this project
- Have a native look and feel.
### Why would you want to use this library?
- You want to write your application in Haskell.
- You want to write a native, not web based, application.
## Documentation
### Setup
You can read how to setup your environment [here](docs/tutorials/00-setup.md).
### Tutorials
Introductory tutorials are available:
- [01 - Basics](docs/tutorials/01-basics.md)
- [02 - Styling](docs/tutorials/02-styling.md)
- [03 - Life cycle](docs/tutorials/03-life-cycle.md)
- [04 - Tasks](docs/tutorials/04-tasks.md)
- [05 - Producers](docs/tutorials/05-producers.md)
- [06 - Composite](docs/tutorials/06-composite.md)
- [07 - Custom widgets](docs/tutorials/07-custom-widgets.md)
- [08 - Themes](docs/tutorials/08-themes.md)
### Examples
Beyond the tutorials, a few _real world like_ examples are available:
- [Todo](docs/examples/01-todo.md)
- [Books](docs/examples/02-books.md)
- [Ticker](docs/examples/03-ticker.md)
- [Generative](docs/examples/04-generative.md)
- [Custom OpenGL](docs/examples/05-opengl.md)
### Haddock
You can read the source code's documentation [here](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/monomer).
### Design decisions
In case you wonder why some choices were made, you can read
[here](docs/design-decisions.md).
## Roadmap
- Stability and performance.
- Mobile support.
## Project status
Although there has not been a lot of activity in the past year, the project is still active.
I may take some time to respond to issues while I work on features I want to add to Monomer.
## Useful extensions
- [Hagrid](https://github.com/Dretch/monomer-hagrid), a flexible datagrid widget.
- [Monomer Flatpak Example](https://github.com/Dretch/monomer-flatpak-example), an example of how to package Monomer applications on Linux, using Flatpak.
