Build performant, native and cross-platform desktop applications with Vue.🚀
Vue NodeGUI is powered by Vue 🌈 and Qt5 💚 which makes it CPU and memory efficient as compared to other chromium based solutions like electron. Vue NodeGUI is essentially a Vue renderer for NodeGUI.
Visit: https://vue.nodegui.org for docs.
This project is in active development. It should be okay for smaller projects but anything complex - electron is the way to go for now. 🚧
- 🧬 Cross platform. Should work on major Linux flavours, Windows and MacOS
- 📉 Low CPU and memory footprint. Current CPU stays at 0% on idle and memory usage is under 20mb for a hello world program.
- 💅 Styling with CSS (includes actual cascading). Also has full support for Flexbox layout (thanks to Yoga).
- ✅ Complete Nodejs api support (Currently runs on Node v12.x - and is easily upgradable). Hence has access to all nodejs compatible npm modules.
- 🎪 Native widget event listener support. supports all event available from Qt / NodeJs.
- 💸 Can be used for Commercial applications.
- 📚 Good documentation and website.
- 🧙♂️ Good documentation for contributors.
- 🦹🏻♀️ Good support for dark mode (Thanks to QT).
- Check out the vue-nodegui starter repo
- Read through the docs
