New app

To get started, let's create a new Rust project for our app.

$ cargo new --bin weatherapp
$ cd weatherapp

Make sure our project builds by default

$ cargo run

   Compiling weatherapp v0.1.0
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.41s
     Running `target/debug/weatherapp`
Hello, world!

Adding Dioxus Desktop as a dependency

We can either edit our Cargo.toml directly:

[dependencies]
dioxus = { version = "*", features = ["desktop"]}

or use cargo-edit to add it via the CLI:

$ cargo add dioxus --features desktop

Setting up a hello world

Let's edit the project's main.rs and add the skeleton of

use dioxus::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    dioxus::desktop::launch(app);
}

fn app(cx: Scope) -> Element {
    cx.render(rsx!(
        div { "hello world!" }
    ))
}

Making sure things run
