appit

An opinionated wrapper for winit that provides a trait-based approach to implementing multi-window applications.

This crate's main type is WindowBehavior, a trait that provides functions for nearly every winit::event::WindowEvent. This allows you to implement exactly which events you wish to respond to, and ignore the rest without a large match statement.

This crate also keeps track of the redraw state of the window, and allows scheduling redraws in the future.

use appit::WindowBehavior;

struct MyWindow;

impl WindowBehavior for MyWindow {
    type Context = ();

    fn initialize(_window: &mut appit::RunningWindow, _context: Self::Context) -> Self {
        Self
    }

    fn redraw(&mut self, window: &mut appit::RunningWindow) {
        println!("Should redraw");
    }
}

fn main() {
    MyWindow::run()
}

Why not use this crate?

• Very new, largely untested.
• Not all platforms support threads, and a single-window, single-thread code path is not supported yet.
