xgpui-platform
Platform selection and application construction for xgpui. This facade chooses the native backend for macOS, Windows, Linux or FreeBSD, and the browser backend for WebAssembly.
Application setup
[]
= { = "xgpui", = "2.0.0" }
= { = "xgpui-platform", = "2.0.0" }
The registry package is xgpui-platform; Rust code imports gpui_platform.
Start an ordinary application with gpui_platform::application(). Use
gpui_platform::headless() for a headless application, or current_platform
when supplying your own application construction.
For a complete window and render example, see hello_world.rs.
Browser applications
Call web_init() from the WASM entry point. application_with_web_backend()
selects a browser renderer, while single_threaded_web() constructs an
application without the multithreaded entry point. Browser applications need
WASM packaging and a compatible server configuration; see the local-development
guide rather than treating a native executable as a browser build.
