druid-widget-nursery

This repo contains (or, at the time of writing, will contain) widgets that work with druid. The repo follows a policy of optimistic merging, and the idea is that having a lower barrier to merging PRs hopefully leads to a nice contributor experience, which then encourages more people to become regular collaborators for the whole druid family of crates.

We don't insist that all widgets always build when updating to a newer version of druid, and so as you'll see the CI is allowed to fail. Fixing these build failures will often be a good opportunity for a first contribution, and people will always be willing to help out with this work either here or on zulip.

So, in summary, the default assumption for PRs to this repo will be to merge, but this policy includes future PRs that might change or reverse stuff in previous PRs. For more information I recommend reading the optimistic merging article linked here and above, which offers an interesting approach to managing open source projects irrespective of its use here.

• A really good, general widget for laying out collections of items.
  • There are different approaches we could use (flexbox or grid from the HTML world).

Links to widget crates

Maybe you have made your own collection of widgets that aren't general enough to go into druid proper, but will still be useful to other druid users. Submit a PR to add them here!

• druid-graphs: An alpha quality library for drawing graphs as widgets, taking inspiration from matplotlib. Currently only supports a few graph types, collaboration welcome! Works well with druid-lens-compose.
• druid_table : A table/datagrid widget (also has some interpolation/visualisation stuff currently). Uses druid_bindings
