list.rs

1//! Column layout and row structure for lists and tables.
2//!
3//! The other half of phase B. [`form`](crate::form) renders a field; this
4//! renders the frame a list of rows sits in: which columns exist, how wide they
5//! are, which ones survive a narrow viewport, and the cell containers a row is
6//! made of.
7//!
8//! # What this does not do
9//!
10//! It does not render a cell's contents. That is the crate's own limit, stated
11//! in `makeover_layout`'s "Where the description stops": generate the boring
12//! 80% so the bespoke 20% gets the attention. A goingson task row carries
13//! delegated action hooks with argument substitution, four nested sub-renderers,
14//! conditional state classes and aria labels built from data. A description
15//! expressive enough to emit that is a templating language wearing a
16//! description's name.
17//!
18//! So the split is the one [`Markup`] already draws for forms: this owns the
19//! structure and the app owns what goes in it. What that removes from an app is
20//! not small — cell order, cell classes, the grid tracks, and above all the
21//! narrowing rules, which is where addressing columns by position goes wrong.
22//!
23//! # Why positions are the bug
24//!
25//! goingson hides its mobile columns with `nth-child(n+5)` against a
26//! seven-column table, plus a separate `nth-child(3)`, plus two class-based
27//! rules — the same fact said three ways, two of them positional. Insert a
28//! column anywhere left of the cut and the wrong one disappears, silently,
29//! because nothing in the stylesheet knows what column five *is*.
30//! [`Priority`] is the fix: a renderer narrows by raising a cutoff, and never
31//! by counting.

270/// Emits the cells alone, not the row element. The row carries the app's

274/// # Not for a webview's scroll path
275///
276/// This has no consumer in either webview app, deliberately, and wiring one in

278/// scroller whose `_render` calls its row builder **synchronously** while
279/// scrolling; the code's own comment says scroll events fire at 60Hz+ and that
280/// this is the hot path. Reaching Rust from there means an IPC round trip and
281/// an `await` in that loop, per visible range, during a drag.
282///
283/// So this is for the hosts where rendering already happens in Rust: an axum
284/// route, and the router when it lands. There the objection does not apply,
285/// because nothing crosses a process boundary to reach it. A webview app should
286/// take [`narrowing_css`] and [`column_class`] and keep building its own rows.
