Introduction

This is a brief tutorial designed to give you a quick run through the usage of Vide.

Vide is largely inspired by other UI libraries such as Solid and Fusion.

Why Vide?

Creating UI is a slow and tedious process. The purpose of Vide is to make UI declarative and concise, making it faster to create and more importantly easier to maintain. Vide achieves this using a reactive style of programming which allows you to focus on the flow of data through your application without worrying about manually updating UI instances.

Some of the main focuses behind Vide's design choices:

• Concise syntax to reduce verbosity as much as possible.
• Reducing the amount of imports needed for usage by using Luau's syntax and semantics.
• Being completely typecheckable.
• Flexibility, particularly with integrating other libraries and allowing users to use their own patterns.
