The Gloo team is happy to announce a new, long overdue, version of Gloo: v0.3.0. Gloo is a modular toolkit for building fast, reliable Web applications and libraries with Rust and WASM.
What's new
This release focuses on adding new features and crates.
New crates
gloo-console
gloo-console provides an ergonomic way to access the browser's console API using macros:
log!("text");
The formatting is done on the browser side. Any JsValue can be provided and it'll be logged as-is:
let object = JsValue::from("any JsValue can be logged");
log!(object);
Multiple values can also be provided:
let object = JsValue::from("Some JsValue");
log!("literal", object);
gloo-dialogs
gloo-dialogs provides wrappers for the following functions:
alert("Hello World!");
prompt("What do you want to say?");
confirm("Are you sure?");
gloo-render
gloo-render provides wrapper for
requestAnimationFrame:
request_animation_frame(|_| {
// inside animation frame.
})
gloo-storage
gloo-storage provides wrappers for the Web Storage API.
It can be used to access both local storage and session storage.

Looking for contributors
Gloo project is in need of contributors. I recently became maintainer of this project, and I'm trying to revive it. It would be really appreciated if you could contribute or raise awareness about the Gloo project.
