Expand description

The fundamental building block of a Relm4 application.

A Component is an element of an application that defines initialization, state, behavior and communication as a modular unit.

Component is powerful and flexible, but for many use-cases the SimpleComponent convenience trait will suffice. SimpleComponent enforces separation between model and view updates, and provides no-op implementations for advanced features that are not relevant for most use-cases.

Required Associated Types§

source

type CommandOutput: Debug + Send + 'static

Messages which are received from commands executing in the background.

source

type Input: Debug + 'static

The message type that the component accepts as inputs.

source

type Output: Debug + 'static

The message type that the component provides as outputs.

source

type Init

The parameter used to initialize the component.

source

type Root: Debug + Clone

The widget that was constructed by the component.

source

type Widgets: 'static

The type that’s used for storing widgets created for this component.

Required Methods§

source

fn init_root() -> Self::Root

Initializes the root widget.

source

fn init(
init: Self::Init,
root: &Self::Root,
sender: ComponentSender<Self>
) -> ComponentParts<Self>

Creates the initial model and view, docking it into the component.

Provided Methods§

source

fn builder() -> ComponentBuilder<Self>

Create a builder for this component.

source

fn update(
&mut self,
message: Self::Input,
sender: ComponentSender<Self>,
root: &Self::Root
)

Processes inputs received by the component.

source

fn update_cmd(
&mut self,
message: Self::CommandOutput,
sender: ComponentSender<Self>,
root: &Self::Root
)

Defines how the component should respond to command updates.

source

fn update_cmd_with_view(
&mut self,
widgets: &mut Self::Widgets,
message: Self::CommandOutput,
sender: ComponentSender<Self>,
root: &Self::Root
)

Updates the model and view upon completion of a command.

Overriding this method is helpful if you need access to the widgets while processing a command output.

The default implementation of this method calls update_cmd followed by update_view. If you override this method while using the component macro, you must remember to call update_view in your implementation. Otherwise, the view will not reflect the updated model.

source

fn update_view(&self, widgets: &mut Self::Widgets, sender: ComponentSender<Self>)

Updates the view after the model has been updated.

source

fn update_with_view(
&mut self,
widgets: &mut Self::Widgets,
message: Self::Input,
sender: ComponentSender<Self>,
root: &Self::Root
)

Updates the model and view when a new input is received.

Overriding this method is helpful if you need access to the widgets while processing an input.

The default implementation of this method calls update followed by update_view. If you override this method while using the component macro, you must remember to call update_view in your implementation. Otherwise, the view will not reflect the updated model.

source

fn shutdown(&mut self, widgets: &mut Self::Widgets, output: Sender<Self::Output>)

Last method called before a component is shut down.

source

fn id(&self) -> String

An identifier for the component used for debug logging.

The default implementation of this method uses the address of the component, but implementations are free to provide more meaningful identifiers.
