iced

Iced is a cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm. It focuses on simplicity and type-safety, leveraging Rust’s features such as ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, futures, streams, and more.

Key Features

1. Elm Architecture-inspired: Iced follows the Elm Architecture, which separates user interfaces into four concepts: State, Message, View, and Update.
2. Type-safe: Iced uses Rust’s type system to ensure safety and prevent common errors.
3. Simple and lightweight: Iced aims to be easy to learn and use, with a minimalistic API.
4. Experimental: Iced is still an experimental library, and its documentation may not be comprehensive or user-friendly.

Using Iced

To get started with Iced, you’ll need to:

1. Define your application’s state and possible user interactions (messages).
2. Create a View function to render your UI, using Iced’s widget library.
3. Implement an Update function to handle messages and update your state.

Example

Here’s a simple example of a counter widget using Iced:

use iced::{button, column, text, Column};
 
struct Counter {
    value: i32,
    increment_button: button::State,
    decrement_button: button::State,
}
 
impl Counter {
    pub fn view(&self) -> Column {
        column![
            button("+").on_press(Message::Increment),
            text(self.value).size(50),
            button("-").on_press(Message::Decrement),
        ]
    }
}
