truce_plugin/
lib.rs

1//! User-facing plugin traits + internal bridge.
2//!
3//! This crate is the plugin author's entry point. The single
4//! `impl PluginLogic for MyPlugin { ... }` block covers both
5//! audio-thread DSP and main-thread GUI, with sample precision
6//! routed through the prelude (see `truce::prelude` /
7//! `truce::prelude64`).
8//!
9//! `truce-plugin` depends on `truce-gui-types` (light: layout,
10//! render trait, widget regions) - not the full `truce-gui`.
11//! Plugin authors who supply a custom editor (egui, iced, slint,
12//! raw window handle) end up with `truce-plugin` in their dep
13//! tree but not the built-in editor's tiny-skia + baseview +
14//! truce-font stack.
15//!
16//! ## Three traits, one source of truth
17//!
18//! - [`PluginLogic`]   - what plugin authors implement for `f32`-buffer plugins.
19//! - [`PluginLogic64`] - what plugin authors implement for `f64`-buffer plugins.
20//! - [`PluginLogicCore`] - generic-over-`S` trait the format wrappers consume.
21//!
22//! The two leaf traits are stamped from one
23//! `plugin_logic_leaf_trait!` `macro_rules!` definition (further
24//! down this file) so their method surfaces stay in lock-step. Each leaf
25//! gets a blanket impl that forwards every method to
26//! `PluginLogicCore<S>` with the matching `S`. Wrappers
27//! (`StaticShell`, `HotShell`, the format crates) bind on
28//! `PluginLogicCore<S>` and don't care which leaf the user impl'd.
29//!
30//! ## What this buys
31//!
32//! Plugin authors writing `impl PluginLogic for Synth { ... }`
33//! never name a precision. The `truce::prelude64` re-export aliases
34//! `PluginLogic64` as `PluginLogic` in the user's scope, so the
35//! same impl header reads the same regardless of which prelude is
36//! in use. The `<S>` token that used to live on the impl header is
37//! gone - the prelude carries the precision choice.

54/// Wrapper-facing plugin trait, generic over the audio sample type.
55///
56/// Format wrappers (`StaticShell`, `HotShell`, CLAP / VST3 / etc.)
57/// bind on `PluginLogicCore<S>`. Plugin authors don't implement this
58/// directly - they implement [`PluginLogic`] (`f32`) or
59/// [`PluginLogic64`] (`f64`), and the blanket impls below route them
60/// into `PluginLogicCore`.
61///
62/// Method docs live on the leaf traits ([`PluginLogic`] /
63/// [`PluginLogic64`]); the shape mirrors them exactly.
