//! Client-side Wayland connector //! //! ## Overview //! //! This crate provides the interfaces and machinery to safely create //! client applications for the wayland protocol. It is a rust wrapper //! around the `libwayland-client.so` C library. //! //! The wayland protocol revolves around the creation of various objects //! and the exchange of messages associated to these objects. The initial //! object is always the `Display`, that you get at initialization of the //! connection, exposed by this crate as `Display::connect_to_env()`. //! //! ## Protocol and messages handling model //! //! The protocol being bi-directional, you can send and receive messages. //! Sending messages is done via methods of `Proxy<_>` objects, receiving //! and handling them is done by providing implementations. //! //! ### Proxies //! //! Wayland protocol objects are represented in this crate by `Proxy<I>` //! objects, where `I` is a type representing the interface of the considered //! object. And object's interface (think "class" in an object-oriented context) //! defines which messages it can send and receive. //! //! These proxies are used to send messages to the server (in the wayland context, //! these are called "requests"). To do so, you need to import the appropriate //! extension trait adding these methods. For example, to use a `Proxy<WlSurface>`, //! you need to import `protocol::wl_surface::RequestsTrait` from this crate. //! It is also possible to directly use the `Proxy::<I>::send(..)` method, but //! this should only be done carefully: using it improperly can mess the protocol //! state and cause protocol errors, which are fatal to the connection (the server //! will kill you). //! //! There is not a 1 to 1 mapping between `Proxy<I>` instances and protocol //! objects. Rather, you can think of `Proxy<I>` as an `Rc`-like handle to a //! wayland object. Multiple instances of it can exist referring to the same //! protocol object. //! //! Similarly, the lifetimes of the protocol objects and the `Proxy<I>` are //! not tighly tied. As protocol objects are created and destroyed by protocol //! messages, it can happen that an object gets destroyed while one or more //! `Proxy<I>` still refers to it. In such case, these proxies will be disabled //! and their `alive()` method will start to return `false`. Trying to send messages //! with them will also fail. //! //! ### Implementations //! //! To receive and process messages from the server to you (in wayland context they are //! called "events"), you need to provide an `Implementation` for each wayland object //! created in the protocol session. Whenever a new protocol object is created, you will //! receive a `NewProxy<I>` object. Providing an implementation via its `implement()` method //! will turn it into a regular `Proxy<I>` object. //! //! **All objects must be implemented**, even if it is an implementation doing nothing. //! Failure to do so (by dropping the `NewProxy<I>` for example) can cause future fatal //! errors if the server tries to send an event to this object. //! //! An implementation is just a struct implementing the `Implementation<Proxy<I>, I::Event>` //! trait, where `I` is the interface of the considered object: //! //! ``` //! // Example implementation for the wl_surface interface //! use wayland_client::{Proxy, Implementation}; //! use wayland_client::protocol::wl_surface; //! //! struct MyImpl { //! // ... //! } //! //! impl Implementation<Proxy<wl_surface::WlSurface>, wl_surface::Event> for MyImpl { //! fn receive(&mut self, msg: wl_surface::Event, proxy: Proxy<wl_surface::WlSurface>) { //! // process the message... //! } //! } //! # fn main() {} //! ``` //! //! The trait is also automatically implemented for `FnMut(I::Event, Proxy<I>)` closures, //! so you can use them for simplicity if a full struct would be too cumbersome. //! //! ## Event Queues //! //! The wayland client machinnery provides the possibility to have one or more event queues //! handling the processing of received messages. All wayland objects are associated to an //! event queue, which controls when its events are dispatched. //! //! Events received from the server are stored in an internal buffer, and processed (by calling //! the appropriate implementations) when the associated event queue is dispatched. //! //! A default event queue is created at the same time as the initial `Display`, and by default //! whenever a wayland object is created, it inherits the queue of its parent (the object that sent //! or receive the message that created the new object). It means that if you only plan to use the //! default event queue, you don't need to worry about assigning objects to their queues. //! //! See the documentation of `EventQueue` for details about dispatching and integrating the event //! queue into the event loop of your application. See the `Proxy::make_wrapper()` method for //! details about assigning objects to event queues. //! //! ## Dynamic linking with `libwayland-client.so` //! //! If you need to gracefully handle the case of a system on which wayland is not installed (by //! fallbacking to X11 for example), you can do so by activating the `dlopen` cargo feature. //! //! When this is done, the library will be loaded a runtime rather than directly linked. And trying //! to create a `Display` on a system that does not have this library will return a `NoWaylandLib` //! error. //! //! ## Auxiliary libraries //! //! Two auxiliary libraries are also available behind cargo features: //! //! - the `cursor` feature will try to load `libwayland-cursor.so`, a library helping with loading //! system themed cursor textures, to integrate your app in the system theme. //! - the `egl` feature will try to load `libwayland-egl.so`, a library allowing the creation of //! OpenGL surface from wayland surfaces. //! //! Both of them will also be loaded at runtime if the `dlopen` feature was provided. See their //! respective submodules for details about their use. #![warn(missing_docs)] #[macro_use] extern crate bitflags; #[macro_use] extern crate downcast_rs as downcast; extern crate libc; extern crate nix; extern crate wayland_commons; #[cfg(feature = "native_lib")] #[macro_use] extern crate wayland_sys; mod display; mod event_queue; mod globals; mod proxy; pub use display::{ConnectError, Display}; pub use event_queue::{EventQueue, QueueToken, ReadEventsGuard}; pub use globals::{GlobalError, GlobalEvent, GlobalImplementor, GlobalManager}; pub use imp::ProxyMap; pub use proxy::{NewProxy, Proxy}; #[cfg(feature = "cursor")] pub mod cursor; #[cfg(feature = "egl")] pub mod egl; pub use wayland_commons::{ downcast_impl, AnonymousObject, Implementation, Interface, MessageGroup, NoMessage, }; // rust implementation #[cfg(not(feature = "native_lib"))] #[path = "rust_imp/mod.rs"] mod imp; // C-lib based implementation #[cfg(feature = "native_lib")] #[path = "native_lib/mod.rs"] mod imp; #[cfg(feature = "native_lib")] /// C-associated types /// /// Required for plugging wayland-scanner generated protocols /// or interfacing with C code using wayland objects. pub mod sys { pub use super::generated::c_interfaces as protocol_interfaces; pub use wayland_sys::{client, common}; } /// Generated interfaces for the core wayland protocol pub mod protocol { #[cfg(feature = "native_lib")] pub use generated::c_api::*; #[cfg(not(feature = "native_lib"))] pub use generated::rust_api::*; } mod generated { #![allow(dead_code, non_camel_case_types, unused_unsafe, unused_variables)] #![allow(non_upper_case_globals, non_snake_case, unused_imports)] #![allow(missing_docs)] #[cfg(feature = "native_lib")] pub mod c_interfaces { include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/wayland_c_interfaces.rs")); } #[cfg(feature = "native_lib")] pub mod c_api { pub(crate) use wayland_commons::map::{Object, ObjectMetadata}; pub(crate) use wayland_commons::wire::{Argument, ArgumentType, Message, MessageDesc}; pub(crate) use wayland_commons::{AnonymousObject, Interface, MessageGroup}; pub(crate) use wayland_sys as sys; pub(crate) use {NewProxy, Proxy, ProxyMap}; include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/wayland_c_api.rs")); } #[cfg(not(feature = "native_lib"))] pub mod rust_api { pub(crate) use wayland_commons::map::{Object, ObjectMetadata}; pub(crate) use wayland_commons::wire::{Argument, ArgumentType, Message, MessageDesc}; pub(crate) use wayland_commons::{AnonymousObject, Interface, MessageGroup}; pub(crate) use {NewProxy, Proxy, ProxyMap}; include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/wayland_rust_api.rs")); } }
