hello hello!! i'm ever so pleased you've popped by my profile! 💕
i'm a developer and i absolutely love making things with Gleam and Mendix!! my proper job is building Mendix widgets using Gleam — isn't that just brilliant?! i also really like Rust and Tauri and honestly loads of other things too!! i can write code in more than 20 programming languages which is quite a lot actually!! like JavaScript, TypeScript, C++ and ever so many more! 🌟
the developer i look up to the most is Hoshino Lina — she's absolutely wonderful and dead inspiring!! 💖
my biggest achievement is glendix and i'm ever so proud of it!! 🎉
it's a Gleam library that talks to React 19 and Mendix Pluggable Widgets — you can write proper Mendix widgets using only Gleam, no JSX needed at all!! how lovely is that!!
here's just a tiny peek at what it does:
- 🔮 40 React Hooks — useState, useEffect, and loads more!
- 🎨 154+ event handlers — that's absolutely masses!
- 🏷️ 108+ HTML attributes and 85+ HTML tags
- 🖌️ 58 SVG elements and 97+ SVG attributes
- 📦 npm bindings — use other people's React components with no fuss!
- 🧩 .mpk widget support — pop them in and they just work!
- 🛍️ Marketplace downloader — search and grab widgets from the terminal!
want to give it a go?? just run this and you're off!! 🚀
npx create-mendix-widget-gleam widget-nameit scaffolds a whole Mendix Pluggable Widget project written in Gleam — everything's set up and ready to go, no faffing about!! 🎁
import mendraw/mendix.{type JsProps}
import redraw.{type Element}
import redraw/dom/attribute
import redraw/dom/html
// look how short and sweet it is!!
pub fn widget(props: JsProps) -> Element {
let name = mendix.get_string_prop(props, "sampleText")
html.div([attribute.class("my-widget")], [
html.text("Hello " <> name),
])
}
...and 20+ more!! i really do like learning new ones! 🌈
thanks ever so much for visiting!! have a lovely day!! 🌸💕✨
