rsx_usage.rs

//! A tour of the rsx! macro
//! ------------------------
//!
//! This example serves as an informal quick reference of all the things that the rsx! macro can do.
//!
//! A full in-depth reference guide is available at: https://www.notion.so/rsx-macro-basics-ef6e367dec124f4784e736d91b0d0b19
//!
//! ### Elements
//! - Create any element from its tag
//! - Accept compile-safe attributes for each tag
//! - Display documentation for elements
//! - Arguments instead of String
//! - Text
//! - Inline Styles
//!
//! ## General Concepts
//! - Iterators
//! - Keys
//! - Match statements
//! - Conditional Rendering
//!
//! ### Events
//! - Handle events with the "onXYZ" syntax
//! - Closures can capture their environment with the 'a lifetime
//!
//!
//! ### Components
//! - Components can be made by specifying the name
//! - Components can be referenced by path
//! - Components may have optional parameters
//! - Components may have their properties specified by spread syntax
//! - Components may accept child nodes
//! - Components that accept "onXYZ" get those closures bump allocated
//!
//! ### Fragments
//! - Allow fragments using the built-in `Fragment` component
//! - Accept a list of vnodes as children for a Fragment component
//! - Allow keyed fragments in iterators
//! - Allow top-level fragments
//!

/// When trying to return "nothing" to Dioxus, you'll need to specify the type parameter or Rust will be sad.
