Project Structure

There are many packages in the Dioxus organization. This document will help you understand the purpose of each package and how they fit together.

Renderers

Desktop: A Render that Runs Dioxus applications natively, but renders them with the system webview
Mobile: A Render that Runs Dioxus applications natively, but renders them with the system webview. This is currently a copy of the desktop render
Web: Renders Dioxus applications in the browser by compiling to WASM and manipulating the DOM
Liveview: A Render that Runs on the server, and renders using a websocket proxy in the browser
Plasmo: A Renderer that renders a HTML-like tree into a terminal
TUI: A Renderer that uses Plasmo to render a Dioxus application in a terminal
Blitz-Core: An experimental native renderer that renders a HTML-like tree using WGPU.
Blitz: An experimental native renderer that uses Blitz-Core to render a Dioxus application using WGPU.
SSR: A Render that Runs Dioxus applications on the server, and renders them to HTML

Hooks: A collection of common hooks for Dioxus applications
Signals: A experimental state management library for Dioxus applications. This currently contains a Copy version of Signal
SDK: A collection of platform agnostic hooks to interact with system interfaces (The clipboard, camera, etc.).
Fermi: A global state management library for Dioxus applications.
Router: A client-side router for Dioxus applications

core: The core virtual dom implementation every Dioxus application uses
- You can read more about the architecture of the core in this blog post and the custom renderer section of the guide
RSX: The core parsing for RSX used for hot reloading, autoformatting, and the macro
core-macro: The rsx! macro used to write Dioxus applications. (This is a wrapper over the RSX crate)
HTML macro: A html-like alternative to the RSX macro

native-core: Incrementally computed tree of states (mostly styles)
- You can read more about how native-core can help you build native renderers in the custom renderer section of the guide
native-core-macro: A helper macro for native core
Taffy: Layout engine powering Blitz-Core, Plasmo, and Bevy UI

hot-reload: Macro that uses the RSX crate to hot reload static parts of any rsx! macro. This macro works with any non-web renderer with an integration
autofmt: Formats RSX code
rsx-rosetta: Handles conversion between HTML and RSX
CLI: A Command Line Interface and VSCode extension to assist with Dioxus usage
