- Updated README.md to reflect the addition of a native Rust frontend using egui - Added setup instructions for the new rust-frontend directory - Modified frontend package.json to downgrade TypeScript version from 5.3.3 to 4.9.5 due to conflicts - Updated path references in documentation from ComfyUI-Rust/ to direct paths - Reorganized project structure documentation to distinguish between original and new frontends

# ComfyUI Rust Frontend
|
|
|
|
A native Rust frontend for ComfyUI-like AI image generation tool using egui.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Node-based workflow editor
|
|
- Real-time preview pane
|
|
- Integration with backend API
|
|
- ROCm support through Rust bindings
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
This frontend is built with:
|
|
- `eframe` and `egui` for the UI framework
|
|
- `reqwest` for HTTP communication with the backend
|
|
- `serde` for JSON serialization/deserialization
|
|
|
|
## Project Structure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/
|
|
├── main.rs # Main application entry point
|
|
├── node_editor.rs # Node-based workflow editor implementation
|
|
├── node_panel.rs # Panel for selecting and managing nodes
|
|
├── preview_pane.rs # Preview pane for image results
|
|
└── api_client.rs # Backend API communication layer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running the Application
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have Rust installed (`rustup` or `curl https://sh.rustup.org/rustup.sh -sSf | sh`)
|
|
2. Start the backend server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ../backend && cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
3. In another terminal, run the frontend:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd rust-frontend && cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
To build for release:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd rust-frontend && cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The executable will be located at `target/release/comfyui-rust-frontend`.
|
|
|
|
## Integration with Backend
|
|
|
|
This frontend communicates with the backend through HTTP API endpoints. The API client handles:
|
|
|
|
- Fetching available node types from `/nodes`
|
|
- Executing workflows via POST to `/execute`
|
|
- Getting execution results and preview images
|
|
|
|
The backend must be running on `http://localhost:8080` by default, but this can be configured in `src/main.rs`. |
