# Ratzilla

Build terminal-themed web applications with Rust and WebAssembly. Powered by [Ratatui].

## Quickstart

Add **Ratzilla** as a dependency in your `Cargo.toml`:

```sh
cargo add ratzilla
```

Here is a minimal example:

```rust no_run
use std::{cell::RefCell, io, rc::Rc};

use ratzilla::ratatui::{
layout::Alignment,
style::Color,
widgets::{Block, Paragraph},
Terminal,
};

use ratzilla::{event::KeyCode, DomBackend, WebRenderer};

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let counter = Rc::new(RefCell::new(0));
let backend = DomBackend::new()?;
let terminal = Terminal::new(backend)?;

terminal.on_key_event({
let counter_cloned = counter.clone();
move |key_event| {
if key_event.code == KeyCode::Char(' ') {
let mut counter = counter_cloned.borrow_mut();
*counter += 1;
}
}
});

terminal.draw_web(move |f| {
let counter = counter.borrow();
f.render_widget(
Paragraph::new(format!("Count: {counter}"))
.alignment(Alignment::Center)
.block(
Block::bordered()
.title("Ratzilla")
.title_alignment(Alignment::Center)
.border_style(Color::Yellow),
),
f.area(),
);
});

Ok(())
}
```

Then add your `index.html` which imports the JavaScript module:

index.html

```html





Ratzilla

body {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
align-content: center;
background-color: #121212;
}
pre {
font-family: "Fira Code", monospace;
font-size: 16px;
margin: 0px;
}




import init from "./pkg/ratzilla.js";
init();

```

Install [trunk] to build and serve the web application.

```sh
cargo install --locked trunk
```

Then serve it on your browser:

```sh
trunk serve
```

Now go to `http://localhost:8080` and enjoy TUIs in your browser!
