This document lists a collection of code samples and tutorials designed to help both newcomers and experienced developers with AUI Framework app development. These projects cover diversity of topics, from fundamental views usage through to complete application assembly.

Building the Examples#

To build these examples, simply clone AUI repository and configure CMake with -DAUI_BUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE:

git clone https://github.com/aui-framework/aui
cd aui
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DAUI_BUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE
cmake --build . --parallel

Some of these examples are located outside of AUI's build tree; such examples should be compiled as regular CMake projects.

Application Examples#

These examples typically go beyond single-file projects and delve into more substantial applications that showcase how multiple techniques can be integrated to create nearly production-ready applications. Each example not only demonstrates specific features of the AUI Framework but also covers practical aspects such as dependency management, data binding and user interface customization.


AUI Telegram Client (AUIgram)	Using AUI Framework from perspective of a Telegram client. This project shows how to solve typical problems of a UI application (i.e., dependency management, data binding, styling, asynchronous data loading, packaging, deploying).
App Template ⚡	GitHub-hosted app project with CI/CD building, testing, releasing, auto updating, code quality checking and more.
Fractal Example	Fractal viewer application demonstrating usage of custom shaders.
Game of Life	Game of Life implementation that uses advanced large dynamic data rendering techniques such as ITexture, AImage to be GPU friendly. The computation is performed in AThreadPool.
Minesweeper Game	Minesweeper game implementation driven by Aui Style Sheets.
Notes App	Note taking app that demonstrates usage of AListModel, AProperty, user data saving and loading.

UI#

Various UI building samples.


AUI Contacts	Usage of AUI_DECLARATIVE_FOR to make a contacts-like application.
Infinite Lazy List	Usage of AUI_DECLARATIVE_FOR to make an infinite lazy list.

Desktop#

Desktop-specific examples.


Console Hello World Example	Basic CLI Hello World application.
Prometheus Exporter Template	Example of using AUI Boot to pull Prometheus library.

7GUIs#

7GUIs is a GUI toolkit benchmark that defines seven tasks representing typical challenges in GUI programming. In addition, 7GUIs provide a recommended set of evaluation dimensions. As such, implementations of these tasks can be compared side by side. AUI project provides its own implementations.


7GUIs Cells	Spreadsheet processor (Excel).
7GUIs Circle Drawer	Undo, redo, dialog control.
7GUIs Counter	Simple counter.
7GUIs CRUD	Create/Read/Update/Delete example.
7GUIs Flight Booker	Flight Booker.
7GUIs Temperature Converter	Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa.
7GUIs Timer	Timer example.
