Introduction
UI framework that uses Skia as a low-level drawing toolkit. It uses the newest features of the C++ Standard library (currently targetting C++17).
Status
SkUI is in a pre-release development phase, and the API is definitely not stable.

Components
SkUI is subdivided in several modules which can depend on other modules but shouldn't become a dependency mess:
- Core: basic functionality, including signals, properties, strings, paths, application, os abstraction...
- CSS: CSS parser built on top of Boost.Spirit X3.
- Graphics: graphical functionality such as canvases, contexts, shapes, text, ...
- GUI: abstraction of platform-specific UI code, including event loops, windows, input, ...
- OpenGL: abstraction of platform-specific OpenGL initialization code, header differences, ...
- ...
- Examples: example programs showing SkUI features
- Tests: unit tests for various components to ensure correct and expected behaviour now and in the future.
This list will grow (and change) as the library's design takes shape.
How to get started
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/skui-org/skui.git
After cloning this repository, make sure the submodules are up to date
cd skui
git submodule update --init --recursive
Create and navigate to a seperate build directory, e.g.
mkdir ../skui-build
cd ../skui-build
Run CMake (here, the ninja build system is used, but any generator should work fine)
cmake ../skui -G Ninja
This step should inform you of any missing dependencies. Then build
cmake --build .
And run the tests to ensure nothing is wrong
ctest
