UIX - The Fullstack Framework

uix.unyt.org    •    a unyt.org project


What is UIX?

UIX is an open-source full-stack framework for developing reactive web apps with restorable and shared state. UIX runs on a deno backend and supports both single- and multi page applications with frontend or server-side rendering and hydration.

The DATEX JavaScript Library acts as the backbone of UIX, providing useful functionality such as reactivity and cross-device data exchange. In contrast to frameworks like React, UIX provides direct wiring to the DOM for reactivity and does not need a virtual DOM.

There are many ways to create UIX applications:

  • using the TypeScript UIX Library and JSX (focus of the documentation)
  • defining UIX states with DATEX
  • using the UIX Web Editor (still in development)

The UIX library is designed with a modular approach that makes it easy for developers to add custom components and logic as needed.

Main features

UIX aims to simplify all phases of the app development cycle, including design, development, testing and distribution, in order to make the developer experience as convenient as possible. This is why UIX ships with integrated features such as:

UIX DOM

The UIX full-stack framework is built on top of UIX DOM, a standalone library that allows you to define reactive DOM elements on the frontend and backend.

The full-stack UIX framework provides many more features, but if you just need a basic reactive DOM library, you can take a look at UIX DOM.
