Nizar’s amazing layout library

[burnt fulcrum]

Nalay is a c++ layout library targeted to support many backends like Raylib, Sdl3, Vulkan etc

Nalay is a layout library so you can also use it plug and play or use it with your own backend to fit your own use

Star me pls there is a lot of work to be done still

The todolist also includes cascading styles and string style parsing

Dyamic rendering and dynamic states with signals and event handlers

And many more

I'll be following this btw 👍

[burnt fulcrum]

i added a flexbox

this is the rendering of the flexbox using the raylib renderer backend

i also added a slab allocator for dynamic allocations of ui nodes

next step: dynamic rendering, signals, event handlers, and cascading styles

if its just a layout library why does it come with a buttload of notlayoutisms?

strange commit history too

[burnt fulcrum]

Well i want it to be functional and plug n play as well

The layout logic is decoupled from the rest of the logic

Meaning it can be used in various contexts

[burnt fulcrum]

its kind of like clay, its a layout library in its core, but also provides some backends out of the box which is what i plan to do

[hard steppe]

then move it into examples and have the layout completely separate, it doesnt really look decoupled at all

[burnt fulcrum]

that was indeed in my todo list

[burnt fulcrum]

alright

i added event listeners for current available elements

moved the raylib backend in include/backends

added examples

added dynamic rendering

the todolist currently:

• string ids that map id to ui element
• cascading styles
• text wrapping
• margin computation
• sizing based on parent percentage
• add more components
• parsing styles from string .

whats the difference between css support and cascading stylesheets?

[burnt fulcrum]

i meant cascading styles sorry

wait i typed it correctly

yes so implementing the cascading styles on the ui elements themselves where setting display_font property would actually affect all tree

[hard steppe]

css == cascading style sheet

so redundant things on your list

[burnt fulcrum]

your right, i meant style inheritance by the first one and parsing styles from string for the second one
