A new begining ✨ #1351

marc2332 · 2025-10-30T21:07:33Z

⚠️ Warning: This is still work in progress, there might be missing features or bugs.

I will continue to update this PR (and this PR description) until I consider it stable and ready

TLDR: Freya (v0.4) now has its own reactive and component model, and it no longer relies on Dioxus for it, although the new system is heavily inspired by it, but with some key differences:

There is no rsx!() macro
Elements are user-land
Attributes are fully typed
Components are now any data type that implements the Render trait, so the "props" are now the data type itself.

But it still has:

Hooks (but e.g use_signal is now use_state)
Callback event handlers
And generally just a very similar state/async tasks management

Project changes:

Less deps (Will share more when I can)
Forked crates (I created them though!):
- https://github.com/dioxus-community/dioxus-radio
- https://github.com/dioxus-community/dioxus-i18n
- https://github.com/dioxus-community/dioxus-clipboard
New and splitted crates:
- freya-icons: An Icons library (Only supports Lucide at the moment)
- pathgraph: Path-based graph (every item in a path is an index indicating the location of a item's value)
- freya-performance-plugin: Contains the Performance overlay Plugin
- freya-edit: Contains all the text editing APIs, like TextEditor, use_editable, etc
- freya-animation: Contains the use_animation hook and all its related APIs
Removed crates:
- freya-hooks: The equivalent APIs are now included in freya-core, freya-animation, freya-edit and freya-components
- freya-native-core & freya-native-core-macro: This was the glue used to connect with Dioxus, so its not needed anymore.
- freya-elements: This used to contain the elements and attributes definitions, the equivalent is now included in freya-core.
- freya-sdk: Generis utilities for Freya apps, like integrations with Tokio.
Uses just to run development scripts
Uses hotpath to debug and improve performance

Closes enhancement: System Tray Support #860
Supersedes feat: Chip component #1259
Supersedes feat: Gif and RemoteGif components #1306
Supersedes feat: Draggable and DraggableCanvas components #1322
Might supersede feat: Wayland clipboard support #1298
Supersedes feat: Vulkan rendering #1210
Supersedes feat: Simplify usability of use_animation #1328
Supersedes feat: rect aspect ratio #1326

The goal is to reach 100% feature (with some deprecations), docs examples and tests parity with main.

Code might be a bit ugly in some parts! I will improve it.

WIP.

Notes for me:

Seems like the Rust CI is failing because taplo needs WSL on Windows? Makes no sense! I need to investigate this
