Valdi

Valdi is a cross-platform native UI framework that compiles declarative TypeScript code into native platform views. It functions as a declarative UI engine and multi-platform frontend toolchain designed to achieve high performance by avoiding web views.

The framework features a native bridge binding tool that generates type-safe bindings between TypeScript and native languages, allowing direct access to platform APIs. It supports a hot-reload development workflow, enabling real-time updates to the user interface across platforms without requiring full project recompilation.

The system includes a flexbox-based layout engine for responsive design and a rendering pipeline that optimizes performance through view recycling and multi-threaded logic execution in worker threads. Additional capabilities cover component state management, application screen navigation, interface localization, and a visual hierarchy inspector for debugging layout structures.

Features

Cross-Platform Native Renderers - Compiles declarative TypeScript code into high-performance native platform views across multiple operating systems.

Cross-Platform Rendering - Renders native user interfaces from a single TypeScript codebase across multiple platforms.

Type-Safe Binding Generators - Generates type-safe bindings between TypeScript and native languages for compile-time safety.

Native API Bridges - Bridges TypeScript code to native platform methods and hardware capabilities.

Native UI Bindings - Connects custom native view factories and attribute bindings to implement specialized platform functionality.

Logic Thread Isolation - Offloads complex JavaScript processing to worker threads to prevent blocking the main user interface thread.

Native Bindings - Generates type-safe bindings between TypeScript and native languages for direct platform API access.

Automatic Element Alignment - Automatically calculates component positions and sizes using a flexible box model for consistent alignment.

Declarative Layout Engines - Manages component state and layout through a declarative rendering engine.

Flexbox Layout Engines - Uses a flexbox-based layout engine to ensure consistent and responsive element alignment across screens.

Declarative Native Renderers - Compiles declarative TypeScript UI definitions directly into native operating system views.

Native Compilation Frameworks - Compiles TypeScript and JSX user interfaces into native application code for high performance.

Cross-Platform Toolchains - Provides a comprehensive toolkit for building and debugging native interfaces across diverse platforms.

Hot Code Reloading - Provides a development workflow that updates the interface in real time without recompiling.

Hot-Reloading Systems - Implements a runtime reloading mechanism that updates the UI without requiring a full application restart.

Native View Embedding - Inserts custom platform components into declarative layouts or hosts native view hierarchies within the app.

UI-Responsive Background Workers - Executes long-running logic in background worker threads to keep the interface fluid.

Component State Managers - Tracks internal component data changes to trigger automatic visual updates of the user interface.

Screen Transitions - Controls the transition and stack of different view hierarchies to manage multi-screen user flows.

Responsive Design - Implements flexible layouts and animations that adapt to different screen sizes and orientations.

State-Driven View Refreshing - Automatically refreshes the native view hierarchy by tracking changes in internal component state.

View Hierarchy Inspectors - Provides a visual inspector to analyze and debug the rendered view tree and layout structures.

View Recycling Systems - Optimizes memory and performance by recycling UI components that have scrolled off the screen.

Generic View Recycling - Optimizes rendering performance and reduces latency by recycling view components that scroll off screen.
