Commands

Create Slint Project

create a project by selecting configuration items

# use default strategy to create a new project
> slimk create hello 
# create a new project with a template
> slimk create hello --template slimk
> slimk create hello -t slimk

Init an empty Slint Project

this command creates a new project but use the default strategy with no template , you will get an empty slint project

you do not need to name the project , this way will use your root directory

# no name
> slimk init
# with name
> slimk init hello

Select Templates(Native,Remote)

# native
> slimk list -n
# remote 
> slimk list -r
# both
> slimk list -a

Select Configuration

> slimk config --get update

> slimk config --get create

Error Description

Network

Due to the lack of an independent server, I have designed it to rely on Github.
Therefore, if you are unable to connect well to Github, the initialization of SLNs is likely to display network errors

Slimk : init conf successfully!
Slimk : Downloading | Updating default template...
thread 'main' panicked at 'download failed, please check your network settings!', src\lib\core.rs:229:21
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

solve

1. go to : https://github.com/Surrealism-All/slimk-template and download latest release
2. unzip it into repo directory
3. write the following configuration into natives

{
  "natives": {
    "slimk-binary": {
      "id": 1701616493916,
      "url": "E:\\slimk\\repo\\slimk-binary",
      "note": "this is a native default template use Slint with SurrealismUI"
    }
  }
}

Res

Goals

• : create command
• : init command
• : list command
• : config command
• : --list options

Next Version Goals (V0.2+)

1. Reduce the module section in the release of the slimk-template repository : Detach modules when downloading templates to prevent them from being forcibly dependent
2. Add install command to add module into ui
3. More humanized
4. Stronger interaction

Thanks a lot for posting here.
I Believe this is missing a link to the project: https://github.com/Surrealism-All/slimk

I haven't look in details on what it does, but it seems it copies the surrealismUI Slint files into the template.
Nothing wrong about that. But we're working on a way to make it possible to use library from crates.io (or github urls)
We introduced the concept of imported library: https://slint.dev/releases/1.3.2/docs/slint/src/language/syntax/modules#component-libraries
And that can be used with a build script like so: https://codeberg.org/flovansl/co_sl/src/branch/main/widgets/coop/src/lib.rs
