§iced-multi-window
Utilities for managing many windows in an iced application.
§Goals
Working with multiple windows in iced can become quite painful quite quickly. If you want to introduce a window type with unique behavior, you may have to make additions in more than five places accross your codebase. Oversights are easy, and most of the mistakes you can make aren’t caught by the compiler. This library seeks to ease this experince by making defining and working with multiple windows simpler, more intuitive, and harder to screw up.
§Usage
The first step is to define the windows that will appear in your app. This is done by creating a corresponding struct and implementing the Window trait for it. This trait will describe the logic behind that window’s content, title, and theme, as well as defining its spawn-time settings.
Next, add a WindowManager to your app’s state. It keeps track of all of the Ids and corresponding Windows that are currently open. It also provides view, theme, and title methods that return the proper output for the specified Id.
You have to manually inform the WindowManager when a window is closed. This can be done by subscribing to iced::window::close_events() and passing the Id of each closed window to WindowManager::was_closed().
