Collection of useful conversions and widgets built as a pure Rust app on the Dioxus framework.
The following widgets are now stable:
- Number Base Converter
- Base64 Encoder/Decoder
- QR Code Generator
- Date/Timestamp Converter
- UUID Generator
- Hash Generator
- CIDR Decoder
- Color Picker
If you haven't already, install Rust.
Follow the Dioxus instructions to install platform-specific dependencies.
Install the Dioxus CLI:
cargo install dioxus-cliClone this repository and enter its root directory.
The primary target for this project is a universal desktop app. Currently, it has been manually validated on macOS and Windows. I plan to setup automated releases soon.
Run cargo run to start the application. The first build should take a couple minutes as it fetches Bootstrap and all other Rust packages, subsequent builds should only take a few seconds.
If you would like to enable hot-reloading, you can do so by setting the USE_HOT_RELOAD flag in main.rs. This is only necessary for the desktop app, hot-reload is on by default for web development.
You can bundle the app into an executable for your platform using the Dioxus CLI
dx bundle --platform desktop --release
Dev Widgets now works as a web app! You can find it hosted at https://widgets.fyi. It will stay up to date with the main branch using GitHub Actions.
You can run the web app locally using the dioxus-cli:
dx serve --platform webThis will automatically enable hot-reloading for any changes you make to the source code.
When packaging for release, I use the Dioxus CLI:
dx build --platform web --releaseThis app is heavily inspired by DevToys and DevToysMac and my roadmap for widgets I plan to support will align with these projects.
Currently, I have only validated on macOS, and performed very crude validations on Windows, though I now have a fairly stable programming model so I plan to set up some automated testing for macOS, Windows, and Linux soon, as well as start publishing releases.
I also plan to publish this as a single-page application using dioxus-web and Github Pages.
I will be tracking new development in the dev-widgets project board. New widgets will be organized under the "Widgets" area, and all other development will be tracked under the "Platform" area.
