Question 1

How do I install Vide in Roblox Studio?

Accepted Answer

Add Vide's Luau module files to your Roblox project and configure type definitions. The crash course provides specific setup steps, but it may require manual integration compared to built-in tools.

Question 2

Vide vs Roact for Roblox UI: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Vide offers SolidJS-like fine-grained reactivity and full Luau type checking, ideal for type-safe projects. Roact is React-based with a larger community and more examples. Pick based on your team's familiarity with reactivity patterns.

Question 3

How to create a reusable component in Vide?

Accepted Answer

Define a function that returns a UI element using the 'create' function, with reactive state managed via 'source'. The code sample in the README shows a basic counter component as a starting point.

Question 4

Is Vide ready for production use in large Roblox games?

Accepted Answer

Vide is stable and type-safe, but as a newer library, it has fewer battle-tested examples in complex projects. Assess by prototyping to ensure it meets your performance and scalability needs.

Question 5

Can Vide handle animations or complex UI interactions?

Accepted Answer

Vide focuses on reactivity and state management; for advanced animations, you may need to integrate with Roblox's native animation systems or custom Luau code, adding complexity.

Question 6

What are the performance implications of using Vide?

Accepted Answer

Fine-grained reactivity reduces unnecessary updates, but there's overhead compared to manual imperative scripting. Profile your game for critical sections to avoid bottlenecks in high-frequency updates.
