## Usage
2016-10-31 17:33:36 +01:00
Winit is a window creation and management library. It can create windows and lets you handle
2017-12-17 13:13:16 -06:00
events (for example: the window being resized, a key being pressed, a mouse movement, etc.)
2016-10-31 17:19:37 +01:00
produced by window.
2015-02-22 11:31:27 +01:00
2016-10-31 17:19:37 +01:00
Winit is designed to be a low-level brick in a hierarchy of libraries. Consequently, in order to
show something on the window you need to use the platform-specific getters provided by winit, or
another library.
2015-02-22 11:31:27 +01:00
2014-07-27 15:59:58 +02:00
```rust
2019-06-21 11:33:15 -04:00
use winit::{
event::{Event, WindowEvent},
event_loop::{ControlFlow, EventLoop},
window::WindowBuilder,
};
2014-07-27 15:59:58 +02:00
fn main() {
2019-06-18 11:15:55 -04:00
let event_loop = EventLoop::new();
let window = WindowBuilder::new().build(&event_loop).unwrap();
2014-07-27 15:59:58 +02:00
2019-06-18 11:15:55 -04:00
event_loop.run(move |event, _, control_flow| {
2020-01-07 20:55:18 -07:00
*control_flow = ControlFlow::Wait;
2015-06-16 13:48:08 +02:00
match event {
2019-06-18 11:15:55 -04:00
Event::WindowEvent {
event: WindowEvent::CloseRequested,
window_id,
} if window_id == window.id() => *control_flow = ControlFlow::Exit,
2020-01-07 20:55:18 -07:00
_ => (),
2015-06-16 13:48:08 +02:00
}
2017-05-21 22:03:22 -07:00
});
2014-07-27 15:59:58 +02:00
}
```
2017-09-14 16:31:34 +02:00
2018-12-29 15:02:02 -11:00
Winit is only officially supported on the latest stable version of the Rust compiler.

### Cargo Features
Winit provides the following features, which can be enabled in your `Cargo.toml` file:
* `serde` : Enables serialization/deserialization of certain types with [Serde ](https://crates.io/crates/serde ).
2020-06-15 09:15:27 +02:00
* `x11` (enabled by default): On Unix platform, compiles with the X11 backend
* `wayland` (enabled by default): On Unix platform, compiles with the Wayland backend

### Platform-specific usage
2019-09-13 19:09:45 -04:00
#### WebAssembly
2017-09-14 16:31:34 +02:00
2020-09-25 01:52:11 +08:00
Winit supports compiling to the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target with either a
`stdweb` or a `web-sys` backend for use on web browsers. However, please note
that **the `stdweb` backend is being deprecated and may be removed in a future
release of Winit**. The `web-sys` backend is also more feature complete.
On the web platform, a Winit window is backed by a `<canvas>` element. You can
either [provide Winit with a `<canvas>` element][web with_canvas], or [let Winit
create a `<canvas>` element which you can then retrieve][web canvas getter] and
insert it into the DOM yourself.
For example code using Winit with WebAssembly, check out the [web example]. For
information on using Rust on WebAssembly, check out the [Rust and WebAssembly
book].
[web with_canvas]: https://docs.rs/winit/latest/wasm32-unknown-unknown/winit/platform/web/trait.WindowBuilderExtWebSys.html#tymethod .with_canvas
[web canvas getter]: https://docs.rs/winit/latest/wasm32-unknown-unknown/winit/platform/web/trait.WindowExtWebSys.html#tymethod .canvas

#### Android
This library makes use of the [ndk-rs ](https://github.com/rust-windowing/android-ndk-rs ) crates, refer to that repo for more documentation.
Running on an Android device needs a dynamic system library, add this to Cargo.toml:
```toml
[[example]]
name = "request_redraw_threaded"
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
```
And add this to the example file to add the native activity glue:
```rust
2020-09-18 20:14:56 +02:00
#[cfg_attr(target_os = "android", ndk_glue::main(backtrace = "on"))]
fn main() {
...
}
2020-05-06 15:27:49 +02:00
```
And run the application with `cargo apk run --example request_redraw_threaded`
