Crate iced_native

source ·
Expand description

A renderer-agnostic native GUI runtime.

The native path of the Iced ecosystem

iced_native takes iced_core and builds a native runtime on top of it, featuring:

  • A custom layout engine, greatly inspired by druid
  • Event handling for all the built-in widgets
  • A renderer-agnostic API

To achieve this, it introduces a couple of reusable interfaces:

  • A Widget trait, which is used to implement new widgets: from layout requirements to event and drawing logic.
  • A bunch of Renderer traits, meant to keep the crate renderer-agnostic.

Usage

The strategy to use this crate depends on your particular use case. If you want to:

  • Implement a custom shell or integrate it in your own system, check out the UserInterface type.
  • Build a new renderer, see the renderer module.
  • Build a custom widget, start at the Widget trait.
