ImReflect
ImReflect is a reflection-based ImGui wrapper that automatically generates ImGui UI. It helps programmers easily debug their objects without having to manually write ImGui UI code.
I made ImReflect as part of my self-study project for University and was completed in 8 weeks. It was my first serious attempt at an open-source GitHub repository. Today:
- ⭐ 100+ stars reached on GitHub!
- 🚀 Mentioned on the official ImGui wiki!
- ♥️ Loved by the community on LinkedIn and Reddit!
“This is an awesome tool, please keep up the good job!!”
“Amazing! This has to be one of the most useful things for imgui”
Features
- Single Entry Point - one function call generates complete UIs
- Primitives, Enums, STL - all supported by default
- Extensible - add your own types without modifying the library
- Single Header - no build, no linking, simply include
- Reflection - define a macro and ImReflect does the rest
- Fluent Builder Pattern - easily customize widgets
Documentation
Since I made this project with the intention of it being used by others, it had to be well documented.
- Read Me - explanation of what it is, how it works, how to use it, code samples, etc.
- Wiki - Documenting everything that is implemented and what it does.
- Comments - explaining public functions the user interacts with.
