Core Technologies
KSML (Kuaishou Markup Language)
KSML is Kuaishou's markup language for building user interfaces:
<!-- Basic structure -->
<view class="container">
<text class="title">{{title}}</text>
<button bindtap="handleClick">Click Me</button>
</view>
<!-- Conditional rendering -->
<view ks:if="{{condition}}">
<text>Condition is true</text>
</view>
<view ks:else>
<text>Condition is false</text>
</view>
<!-- List rendering -->
<view ks:for="{{items}}" ks:key="{{item.id}}">
<text>{{item.name}}</text>
</view>
<!-- Video component -->
<video
src="{{videoUrl}}"
poster="{{posterUrl}}"
autoplay="{{false}}"
controls="{{true}}"
bindplay="onVideoPlay"
bindpause="onVideoPause">
</video>
<!-- Template usage -->
<template name="video-card">
<view class="video-card">
<video src="{{videoUrl}}" poster="{{poster}}" class="video"/>
<text class="title">{{title}}</text>
<text class="author">{{author}}</text>
</view>
</template>
<template is="video-card" data="{{videoUrl: '/videos/sample.mp4', poster: '/images/poster.jpg', title: 'Sample Video', author: 'Creator'}}"/>
