Expand description

A helper macro which delegates a set of Dispatch implementations for a resource to some other type which provides a generic Dispatch implementation.

This macro allows more easily delegating smaller parts of the protocol a compositor may wish to handle in a modular fashion.

§Usage

For example, say you want to delegate events for WlOutput to the DelegateToMe type from the Dispatch documentation.

use wayland_server::{delegate_dispatch, protocol::wl_output};

// ExampleApp is the type events will be dispatched to.

/// The application state
struct ExampleApp {
    /// The delegate for handling wl_registry events.
    delegate: DelegateToMe,
}

// Use delegate_dispatch to implement Dispatch<wl_output::WlOutput, MyUserData> for ExampleApp.
delegate_dispatch!(ExampleApp: [wl_output::WlOutput: MyUserData] => DelegateToMe);

// DelegateToMe requires that ExampleApp implements AsMut<DelegateToMe>, so we provide the trait implementation.
impl AsMut<DelegateToMe> for ExampleApp {
    fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut DelegateToMe {
        &mut self.delegate
    }
}
