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

Logo

CI badge made with Haskell BSD-3-Clause


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.
