# Extra wayland shell event loop and their iced bindings
We want to make program with iced for layershell and sessionlock, so we made this project.
Take winit as reference a lot, to make easilier program on layershell and ext-session-lock.
This project bind `ext-session-lock` and `layershell` with the similar way of winit, which storing message and handle it in callback
## Here are five subprojects
### waycrate_xkbkeycode
[](https://crates.io/crates/waycrate_xkbkeycode)
Take a lot of reference from winit (mainly from winit). Mainly handle the xkbcommon events.
### layershellev
[](https://crates.io/crates/layershellev)
Winit like layershell event crate.
We use it make a virtual-keyboard program, please take a look at `starcolorkeyboard`. Next we will make the program with iced-layershell instead, to provide a more beautiful virtual-keyboard program.
### sessionlockev

Winit like sessionlock event crate. It handles the sessionlock event, like lock and unlock, and provides base support for iced binding for sessionlock
### iced-layershell

iced binding for layershell
#### Feature:

With this crate, you can use iced to build your kde-shell, notification application, and etc.
### iced-sessionlock

iced binding for sessionlock
Session lock is the wayland protocol for lock. This protocol is supported in river, sway and etc. We use it make a beautiful lock program in [twenty](https://github.com/waycrate/twenty). You can also use it to build your sessionlock. This will become very easy to use our crate with pam crate.
