Aloe Grid

Aloe Grid is a Rust crate that offers a comprehensive interface for creating and managing grid layouts, akin to the CSS Grid Layout specification. This crate is ideal for developers of user interfaces and graphics applications who seek fine-grained control over component placement and alignment.

Overview

Aloe Grid provides constructs to define grid layouts using a declarative style. It enables developers to specify the alignment properties, size dimensions, and positioning strategies crucial in contemporary GUI applications. Each component aligns with CSS conventions, facilitating a smooth transition for web developers seeking to leverage Rust's performance.

Core Features

• Grid Alignment Enums: Offers enums like GridAlignItems and GridAlignContent to define how elements are placed within the grid.

• Flexible Item Properties: Utilize structures such as GridItemProperty and GridItemMargin to control element dimensions, positioning, and margin settings.

• Track Info and Span: Leverage GridTrackInfo and GridItemSpan to detail the grid's row and column configurations.

• Size Calculations: Use GridSizeCalculation to dynamically compute the grid's dimensions based on its components.

• Auto-Placement: Features GridAutoPlacement for automated layout adjustments, beneficial for dynamic content scenarios.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aloe-grid = "0.1.0"

Usage

Basic usage involves instantiating a Grid, defining grid items with specific properties, and leveraging the perform_layout method to arrange components within a target space.

use aloe_grid::*;

let mut grid = Grid::default();
let mut item = GridItem::new_with_ref(&mut my_component);
grid.set_gap(GridPx::from(10));  // Set gaps between grid items

// Define the layout and perform layout operation
...
