Question 1

How do I handle events like button clicks in iUI?

Accepted Answer

Define event handlers such as on_click when creating components, as shown in the example where a function is passed to Button.new. Events are passed as references like &ui.MouseEvent, allowing access to event details for custom logic.

Question 2

iUI or Electron for cross-platform desktop apps?

Accepted Answer

iUI is a native GUI library for V that compiles to native code, offering better performance and smaller binaries, while Electron uses web technologies with a larger ecosystem. Choose iUI for V-based projects wanting native look and feel, and Electron for web-centric teams needing more plugins.

Question 3

Can iUI apps run on embedded systems like Raspberry Pi?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since iUI supports Linux and can be compiled for ARM architectures, but you need to ensure V and dependencies are available. The cross-platform support includes Linux, making it feasible with proper system setup and compilation.

Question 4

How to create a custom theme in iUI?

Accepted Answer

iUI provides built-in themes with customizable accents, as mentioned in the themes section. For full customization, you might need to modify source code or use theme structures, but detailed step-by-step documentation is sparse in the README.

Question 5

What V version is required for iUI?

Accepted Answer

The README indicates compatibility with V 0.5+, so install at least that version via VPM. Check the GitHub repository for updates, as newer V versions might introduce changes affecting iUI.

Question 6

Is iUI suitable for commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, iUI is licensed under MIT OR Boost, which permits commercial use with minimal restrictions. However, consider the early development stage and niche ecosystem when relying on it for critical applications.
