Weex Ui Half-Year Open Source Road
Categories: Share
GitHub Address: github.com/alibaba/weex-ui
Weex Ui was open sourced on September 30 last year. It has been exactly half a year since today. This article intends to share the Weex Ui half-year open source road from 5 parts: origin, positioning, status quo, development, and outlook.
Origin of Weex Ui
Weex Ui originated from an internal Weex upper-layer Ui component library. After running for nearly a year, it was organized, optimized, enriched and qualified then open sourced, hoping to leverage the community to let it develop better and serve more developers.
Positioning of Weex Ui
The positioning of Weex Ui is a lightweight, highly interactive, high-performance UI component library for Weex. Components encapsulate native-level optimizations beneath intuitive Vue APIs, seamlessly supporting Weex on iOS, Android, and mobile web. It also serves as a clean, idiomatic reference for developers new to building on Weex.
Status Quo of Weex Ui
- 7 major categories of components, a total of 32 mature components
- Github Star 2552, Fork 333, Watch 127
- Monthly download volume 9K/month, cumulative use 47K times (including CNPM 2.8K/month and 20K total)
- Issus 168, Pull Request number is 45, a total of 11 Contributors, cumulative release 30 versions

Outlook of Weex Ui
- Introduce more rich interactive components to make Weex applications More Native
- Continue to lighten and simplify Weex Ui, lowering the barrier to entry for non-frontend engineers
- Component performance continuous optimization, especially low-end machine performance improvement
- Support component theme one-click switch, under implementation
- Collection of usage Demo organization, including tools, media, management, etc.
- Ecological exploration, more Weex peripheral construction
Finally
The development of Weex Ui cannot be separated from the contribution of the community. Since open source, it has slowly removed internal-specific characteristics and developed towards community.
Huge thanks to everyone who shared suggestions and contributed code to Weex Ui, especially community contributors @zwwill, @GJJDD, @Yanjiie, @zweipix, and others for their dedication.
I hope more developers will join the Weex Ui community in the future — helping everyone build faster, leave work on time, and make the ecosystem better for all.
Please feel free to use and contribute to the development.
