Crate jackdaw 

Main crate for the Jackdaw editor. Usage of this crate is meant for headless operation. If you want to interact with the jackdaw API for extensions, use the jackdaw_api crate instead.

Modules

add_entity_picker

Unified Add Entity picker, shared by the toolbar Add menu and the scene-tree Add Entity button. Sources items from built-in templates plus extension-contributed RegisteredMenuEntry rows under menu == "Add".

alignment_guides

app_ops

App-level operators: open the Extensions dialog, open the Keybind settings dialog, toggle hot reload, return to the project-select home screen. None have keybinds currently; they exist so menus (and a future command palette) can dispatch them uniformly.

asset_browser

asset_catalog

brush

brush_drag_ops

Modal operators for the per-element brush drags: face / vertex / edge. Each one wraps the corresponding interaction state machine that used to run as an unconditional system in brush::interaction. The drag math itself is unchanged; this file owns the modal lifecycle (trigger on click, per-frame invoke, release commit, Escape cancel) and Right-click cancel.

brush_element_ops

One-shot brush-element operators: delete the active sub-element and nudge selected vertices/edges/faces along Y by one grid step. Dispatch by current BrushEditMode.

build_status

Static-editor build state machine.

builtin_extensions

Built-in Jackdaw extensions. Each feature area of the editor owns its dock windows through a JackdawExtension, so Jackdaw uses the same API third-party authors do. Disable one in File > Extensions to remove its windows from the layout.

clip_ops

Clip-tool operators. Replace the keybind/click branches in brush::interaction::handle_clip_mode. The remaining clip-mode work (recomputing the preview plane and drawing the gizmo overlay) stays in interaction.rs.

command_palette

commands

core_extension

custom_properties

default_style

document_ops

draw_brush

edit_mode_ops

Edit-mode switch operators: Object / Vertex / Edge / Face / Clip / Physics. Each one either enters the named mode or, if already in it, toggles back out to Object.

entity_ops

entity_templates

ext_build

Editor-driven build pipeline for extension and game projects.

extension_resolution

Persistence for the enabled-extensions list at ~/.config/jackdaw/extensions.json. Read on startup, rewritten whenever the user toggles an extension.

extension_watcher

Watch extension dylib directories for .so / .dylib / .dll changes and surface them to the user.

extensions_dialog

File > Extensions dialog. Toggles compiled-in extensions at runtime and persists the current state to extensions.json.

face_grid

gizmo_ops

Gizmo mode + space operators.

gizmos

grid_ops

Grid-size operators: increase / decrease the editor grid by one power. Flips a resource, no history entry.

hierarchy

history_ops

Undo/Redo operators.

hot_reload

Build-artifact watcher: when cargo writes a fresh target/debug/lib<name>.so for the active project, install it and hot-swap the running dylib.

inspector

keybind_focus

Decide whether a keybind/operator gate should refuse because the user is typing into a UI text input.

keybind_settings

keybinds

layout

material_browser

material_preview

measure_tool

modal_transform

navmesh

new_project

Scaffolding user projects via Bevy CLI.

operator_tooltip

Operator bridge into the generic feathers tooltip pipeline.

physics_brush_bridge

Bridge between editor collider configuration and avian Collider components.

physics_tool

Hammer-style physics placement tool.

pie

Play-In-Editor runtime.

prefab_picker

prelude

Everything needed to start using Jackdaw.

project

project_files

Project Files panel: a file tree view with live filesystem watching.

project_select

reflect_default

Default-construct any reflected type, including ones that don’t #[derive(Default)].

remote

restart

Respawn the editor binary from within a running instance.

scene_io

scene_ops

Scene I/O operators: new / open / save / save as / save selection as template / open recent.

sdk_paths

Locate the SDK dylib, its deps/ dir, and the rustc wrapper.

selection

snapping

status_bar

terrain

transform_ops

Transform-shortcut operators: reset, 90° rotate, and nudge.

undo_snapshot

SceneJsnAst-backed implementation of the snapshotter traits.

view_modes

view_ops

View-mode toggles and per-viewport view operators.

viewport

viewport_overlays

viewport_select

viewport_util

Structs

BlocksCameraInput

Marker component for UI overlays that should block viewport camera input (scroll, pan, orbit) while they exist. Add this to any overlay entity (e.g. prefab picker, context menus) to automatically disable camera controls.

DylibLoaderPlugin

Enable discovery and loading of dynamic-library extensions.

EditorCategory

Picker grouping for a component. Attach via #[reflect(@EditorCategory("Your Group"))].

EditorCorePlugin

Plugin required for the Jackdaw’s core functionality.

EditorDescription

Picker tooltip override. Falls back to the reflected doc comment when absent.

EditorEntity

EditorHidden

Hides things from editor-facing surfaces. Used in two ways:

EditorInteractionSystems

System set for all editor interaction systems (input handling, viewport clicks, gizmo drags, etc.). Automatically disabled when any dialog is open.

EditorPlugins

The editor plugin group. Construct with EditorPlugins::default for the builder, or add the default instance directly with app.add_plugins(EditorPlugin::default()).

ExtensionPlugin

JackdawDrawSystems

System set for drawing systems. Scheduled in PostUpdate after all propagation sets.

MenuBarDirty

Drained once per frame so multiple registrations coalesce into a single menu-bar rebuild.

NonSerializable

Marker component for entities that should not be included in scene serialization. Add this to runtime-generated child entities (brush face meshes, terrain chunks, etc.) that are rebuilt automatically from their parent’s component data.

SkipSerialization

Marker for entities that exist as editor-time visual indicators. The save filter skips this entity (and its subtree) so the helper never lands in .jsn; the editor viewport still renders it.

Enums

AppState

Functions

no_dialog_open

Run condition: returns true when no EditorDialog entity exists.
