This is a minimal Revery application to get you started.
See the requirements for building Revery
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/revery-ui/revery-quick-start
# Go into the repository
cd revery-quick-start
# Install dependencies
esy install
# Build dependencies
esy build
NOTE: The first build will take a while - building the OCaml compiler and dependencies takes time! Subsequent builds, though, should be very fast.
Once built, the application binary will be in the _build/install/default/bin - you can run it like:
_build/install/default/bin/App
or using esy with the script specified in package.json:
esy run
The most important files are:
src/App.re- This is the core application code, responsible for creating a window and rendering.src/SimpleButton.re- A simple button with hover and active-styling.src/AnimatedText.re- A component showcasing some neat animations.src/Theme.re- A module holding some colors etc.
A Revery application also needs the following files:
package.json- esy configuration - lists the Reason/OCaml dependencies.dune/dune-project- build configuration files used by Dune..opam- metadata used by the build system.
To create packages for distribution, follow these steps:
npm install -g revery-packager
From the revery-quick-start folder, run:
revery-packager
Once complete, there will be application packages available in the _release folder.
