core
The core library abstracts the UI without invoking into any platform.
We don't need to know how it works if you just want to develop Apps using ElvisJS, because the elvis library provides all we need in the core library.
Node
The common UI of ElvisJS are composed with nodes which are defined in this core library, just the frame and transform stuffs.
UI
Attribute && Class
Attribute and Class are defined in this library as well, both of them are served for
the Node, attribute controls the features of Node, and the class affect on the style
of Node.
Values
All static values are defined in this library, for example, Color, Unit.
Layout
Finally, we are reaching the layout part. The difference of ElvisJS and other UI library in rust/wasm is ElvisJS provides UI itself, not just give you guys a parser parsing rust to Javascript or html.
The layout part is only defined in the core library, for example, the web library is just a re-export of the layout part of this core library, migrating the ElvisJS UI into browser.
Lifecycle
The lifecycle of ElvisJS defines like
| LifeCycle | Description |
|---|---|
| Create | Triggers while creating the component in node tree |
| Render | Triggers while rendering the component in node tree |
| Update | Triggers when the state machine changes |
| Drop | Triggers while droping the component |
State machine
State machine of Elvisjs equipped for user-defined components, the fields of the struct are the storage of the state machine, which we can modify in gestures.
