Crate vulkanalia_bootstrap 

Vulkanalia-bootstrap is a rust implementation of vulkan-bootstrap for Rust for use with the vulkanalia library. It is a fork of the ash-bootstrap library with adjusted imports and function calls.

Quick start

The bootstrap library’s goal is to make the tedious setup of Vulkan a little bit more bearable. This is done by providing a bunch of builder that provide help by implementing the boilerplate for you. From instance to swapchain creation, hunderds of lines of code are implemented for you already. It tries to not be in the way as much as possible in the rest of your Vulkan application.

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
   let instance = InstanceBuilder::new(None)
       .app_name("Example Vulkan Application")
       .engine_name("Example Vulkan Engine")
       .request_validation_layers(true)
       .use_default_tracing_messenger()
       .build()?;

   let physical_device = PhysicalDeviceSelector::new(instance.clone())
       .preferred_device_type(PreferredDeviceType::Discrete)
       .select()?;

   let device = Arc::new(DeviceBuilder::new(physical_device, instance.clone()).build()?);

   // You can get the inner handle that is used by vulkan
   // Or you can just pass it where the device handle is expected, because it implements AsRef.
   let _device_handle = device.handle();

   let (_graphics_queue_index, _graphics_queue) = device.get_queue(QueueType::Graphics)?;
   let swapchain_builder = SwapchainBuilder::new(instance.clone(), device.clone());

   let swapchain = swapchain_builder.build()?;

   // And right now we got rid of 400-500 lines of vulkan boilerplate just like that.
   // Now let's cleanup.

   swapchain.destroy();
   device.destroy();
   instance.destroy();
}
