Ripl
One unified API for rendering on the web and in the terminal
One unified, high-performance, zero-dependency TypeScript API for drawing 2D & 3D graphics, charts, and data visualizations across Canvas, SVG, Terminal, and WebGPU.
After several years in development I am excited to announce the 1.0 release of Ripl!
Ripl is a unified, high-performance, zero-dependency TypeScript API for drawing 2D & 3D graphics, charts, and data visualizations across Canvas, SVG, Terminal, and WebGPU.
Ripl is designed for anyone working with graphics rendering across multiple contexts. It is particularly well suited to situations for multi-targeted rendering across back-end and front-end or custom interactive visualizations.
Version 1.0 ships with a fully featured charting library which can be rendered on the web in Canvas or SVG, or in the Terminal. It only takes a 1 line* code change to render to a different context.
The library is highly modular and tree-shakeable, meaning you only ship the parts that you actually use, but it comes with a whole bunch of sensible defaults such as grouping/inheritance, styling, events & interaction, animation, scales, panning/zooming, gradients, clip masks, color and geometry helpers, and much more...
zero deps is honestly kind of a flex for something that covers canvas, svg, terminal, and webgpu. really curious how the terminal rendering actually holds up.
