## Usage
Winit is a window creation and management library. It can create windows and lets you handle
events (for example: the window being resized, a key being pressed, a mouse movement, etc.)
produced by window.
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.
```rust
use winit::{
event::{Event, WindowEvent},
event_loop::{ControlFlow, EventLoop},
window::WindowBuilder,
};
fn main() {
let event_loop = EventLoop::new();
let window = WindowBuilder::new().build(&event_loop).unwrap();
event_loop.run(move |event, _, control_flow| {
*control_flow = ControlFlow::Wait;
match event {
Event::WindowEvent {
event: WindowEvent::CloseRequested,
window_id,
} if window_id == window.id() => *control_flow = ControlFlow::Exit,
_ => (),
}
});
}
```
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).
* `x11` (enabled by default): On Unix platform, compiles with the X11 backend
* `wayland` (enabled by default): On Unix platform, compiles with the Wayland backend
* `mint`: Enables mint (math interoperability standard types) conversions.
### Platform-specific usage
#### Wayland
Note that windows don't appear on Wayland until you draw/present to them.
`winit` doesn't do drawing, try the examples in [`glutin`] instead.

#### WebAssembly
To run the web example: `cargo run-wasm --example web`
Winit supports compiling to the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target with `web-sys`.
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 canvas getter]: https://docs.rs/winit/latest/wasm32-unknown-unknown/winit/platform/web/trait.WindowExtWebSys.html#tymethod.canvas
[web example]: ./examples/web.rs

#### 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.
The `ndk_glue` version needs to match the version used by `winit`. Otherwise, the application will not start correctly as `ndk_glue`'s internal NativeActivity static is not the same due to version mismatch.
`ndk_glue` <-> `winit` version comparison compatibility:
| winit | ndk_glue |
| :---: | :------------------: |
| 0.24 | `ndk_glue = "0.2.0"` |
| 0.25 | `ndk_glue = "0.3.0"` |
| 0.26 | `ndk_glue = "0.5.0"` |
| 0.27 | `ndk_glue = "0.6.0"` |
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
#[cfg_attr(target_os = "android", ndk_glue::main(backtrace = "on"))]
fn main() {
...
}
```
And run the application with `cargo apk run --example request_redraw_threaded`
#### MacOS
A lot of functionality expects the application to be ready before you start
doing anything; this includes creating windows, fetching monitors, drawing,
and so on, see issues [#2238], [#2051] and [#2087].
If you encounter problems, you should try doing your initialization inside
`Event::NewEvents(StartCause::Init)`.
