Dala — BEAM-on-device dalaile framework for Elixir.

OTP runs on the device. Screens are GenServers. The UI is rendered by Compose (Android) and SwiftUI (iOS) via a thin NIF. No server required.

Quick start

defmodule MyApp.HomeScreen do
  use Dala.Screen

  def mount(_params, _session, socket) do
    {:ok, Dala.Socket.assign(socket, :title, "Hello, Dala!")}
  end

  def render(assigns) do
    %{
      type:  :column,
      props: %{padding: :space_md},
      children: [
        %{type: :text, props: %{text: assigns.title, text_size: :xl}, children: []}
      ]
    }
  end
end
