Before I use Vaadin, which provides many web UI components/widgets, to develop Web applications. But the applications wers not good on mobile device. So, then, I had to use wt ( http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt ), which is very powerful and also provides many UI components. I like wt so much.

And, I know that D language is better than C++ language ( wt is written in C++). So I have learned D language for several days. I find vibe.d is the web framework written in D. I want to use vibe.d to develop web applications, But I can NOT find its web UI components/widgets like wt's. Where are they? Please help me.

Thank you.

Even though I always wanted to implement a nice widget toolkit along the
lines of wt, I haven't found the time to do so yet, and instead still do
those things manually using HTML templates, forms and JS. Part of the
reason is also that I like to keep my sites compatible with browsers
that have JS disabled.

There is an automatic form interface generator in vibe.http.form that
avoids the otherwise necessary boilerplate code, but it will still be a
page/form based approach with explicit session management and so on.

AFAIK there is unfortunately also nothing similar written for D by
anyone else, at least I haven't heard of it, so someone will need to
step up and start something.

Thank you.

I am a programmer, and I like developing applications by programming in computer language, such as C/C++.
And I do NOT like script language such as HTML, JS(javascript). This was the reason why I used NOT script like JQuery BUT Vaadin.
The API of Vaadin and eclipse RAP are provided in java and Wt's API is provided in C++. I like them.

It is horrible for many many programmers including me to directly use HTML and script language like javascript to programme.

Thank you again.

FWIW, Wt works with JS disabled.

Wt written in C++ that is compiled into native binary code and D also a compiling laguange, so they run more quickly/fast than others such as perl, java (which runs on jvm and is not safe). This is the reason why I programme in compilng language like C++. I learned some of D language and like it much. But I want to develop an WEB application and D has NOT WEB UI components/widgets like Wt's. How about let D call Wt's UI as following?

Client (including web browses) <------> Vibe.d <------> Wt's UI Libraries
