monomer: A GUI library for writing native Haskell applications.

[ bsd3, gui, library, program ] [ Propose Tags ]

Monomer is an easy to use, cross platform, GUI library for writing native Haskell applications.

It provides a framework similar to the Elm Architecture, allowing the creation of GUIs using an extensible set of widgets with pure Haskell.

Monomer

A cross-platform GUI library for Haskell

An easy to use, cross platform, GUI library for writing native Haskell applications.

Monomer provides a framework similar to the Elm Architecture, allowing the creation of GUIs using an extensible set of widgets with pure Haskell.

Objectives

Be easy to learn and use.
Be extensible with custom widgets.
Run on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Have good documentation.
Have good examples.

These are not objectives for this project

Have a native look and feel.

Why would you want to use this library?

You want to write your application in Haskell.
You want to write a native, not web based, application.

Documentation

Setup

You can read how to setup your environment here.

Tutorials

Introductory tutorials are available:

Examples

Beyond the tutorials, a few real world like examples are available:

Haddock

You can read the source code's documentation here.

Design decisions

In case you wonder why some choices were made, you can read here.

Roadmap

Stability and performance.
Mobile support.

Project status

Although there has not been a lot of activity in the past year, the project is still active.

I may take some time to respond to issues while I work on features I want to add to Monomer.

Useful extensions

Hagrid, a flexible datagrid widget.

Contributing

PRs are welcome!

If possible, keep them small and focused. If you are planning on making a large change, please submit an issue first so we can agree on a solution.
