Visual Studio Code - React UI Library (vscrui)

[!WARNING] This project is in an early stage of development. Feel free to contribute or use it at your own risk.

The vscrui is a React components library for building webview-based extensions with React in Visual Studio Code.

[!NOTE] The library is based on the VS Code Webview UI Toolkit, which has announced to be deprecated on January 1, 2025. See the deprecation announcement for more details. Instead of providing web components, this library provides React components.
