Guides

Code examples and step-by-step procedures for usual tasks with SolidRT.

• Basics - make an app, run it, change it, and pack it into one executable file. Start here.
• Dev loop - edit, save, see the result. What causes a reload, how to run the app on your phone, and what to do when the window does not respond.
• Coming from HTML - an overview of the elements, compared to HTML, and the usual errors.
• Coming from React - a short comparison of the reactive model, for React developers.
• Coming from Expo/React Native - the elements, device APIs and workflow, compared to SolidRT. What SolidRT has that React Native does not have, and what SolidRT does not have.
• Coming from Electron - one process, no browser, one executable file. What does not work the same, and what SolidRT does not have.
• Performance - JavaScript as the scripting language of a Rust engine. Where each type of work belongs: the runtime, detached elements, the GPU, the spatial core, isolates, WebAssembly and Rust.
• Animation - animate with the transition prop and with onFrame: prop changes, enter and exit, layout changes, and what is fast to animate.
• Build a custom runtime - advanced. Make your own runtime with only the features that you want. Then add your own native code to it.
