Rapid UI 🥋

RapidUI is a modern Ruby framework that addresses linguistic complexity of designing user interfaces.

Features

  • Clean and readable code reduces cognitive load and improves developer happiness.
  • Unlike css classes, misspelled functions throw errors, drastically reducing the debug time.
  • CSS Framework agnostic. It can be configured to work with your existing CSS framework.

Background

  • Rapid UI is a successor to GoodUI, a UI meta-programming framework for Fomantic-UI.
  • It's battle tested and has been used in production by StoryPRO for over a year.

Installation

  1. Add this line to your application Gemfile:
    gem 'rapid_ui'
  1. run and bundle install.

  2. Copy the initializer, render monkey-patch, and ui.yml

rake rapid_ui:install

What It Looks Like

Rapid UI works best with slim templating langauge, drastically reducing the amount of boilerplate code.

          =r ux.h1 text: "Full Size"
          
    =r ux.row
      =r ux.column computer: 8, tablet: 7, mobile: 16
