map_each previously was written such that if a chain of mappings fed
each other, a deadlock could occur because while the first one was
mapped, the second callback gets invoked and tries to update the first
value while it's still being held.
This refactor switches from std Mutex to parking_lot, allowing me to
remove a workaround for needing to run drop callbacks in a separate
thread during the drop of a DynamicGuard.
In addition to that change, the lower level `map_generational` calls now
take a DynamicGuard as their parameter. This allows these functions to
drop ownership of the referenced data during the callback.
The map_each implementation takes advantage of this by ensuring that the
guard is dropped before set is invoked, minimizing potential lock overlaps.
With this refactor, some old code of mine with complex validations now works
again.
This commit adds my first take at creating a harness for a user's guide
using the new capture functionality. The example has tests that ensure
the align widget creates the expected results.
Somehow I missed that my changes for weak callbacks broke the theme
editor. I thought I had it working with the try_get changes, but I
discovered several flaws in this approach.
In the end, ownership has been transferred to the CallbackHandle, and a
CallbackHandle can relinquish its reference to create weak graphs. This
is how weak_clone now works.
This ensures frames render consistently.
This change only affects the animation recorder. The regular virtual
recorder interface blocks when refresh is called.
Closes#98
This finishes my initial refactoring of the dynamic system to add
support for several dataflows including:
- Pure data sources that can be implemented using an `Owned<T>` at the
root of a graph of `Dynamic<U>`/`DynamicReader<U>`s.
- Read-only data sinks. I thought this would be more useful across other
widgets, but in general, Progress and Label seem like the only types
that this applies to currently.
- The ability to mix/match Dynamic/DynamicReader in tuple-based
for_each/map_each.
Refs #98
This refactor overhauls the reactive system to move all the reactive
methods to traits. The side effect of this change is that now
DynamicReader's API is the same as Dynamic's API, but because it only
implements Source<T>, DynamicReader does not offer any mutation
functions.
While it's unfortunate to have more traits to include to use Cushy, this
seems like the best option, and it offers a path to try to integrate
this into the tuple ForEach/MapEach traits. Unfortunately, my attempt at
doing those in this set of changes led to issues specifying generic
associated lifetimes for the DynamicGuard. But, I was also in the middle
of this larger refactoring, so it might be that a fresh attempt will
succeed.
This cascaded into a lot more work than expected. However, in general,
if one clones a `WidgetInstance` and shares it between two windows, it
should now work. Widget authors must ensure that when they cache
information, they do so with either a `WidgetCacheKey` or use a
`WindowLocal<T>` if per-window state is desired.
This is demonstrated in the debug-window example, where the counter of
open windows is next to a clone of the same button from the main window
that opens a new window.
While this was a workaround for a docs.rs issue (Px/Lp are not
linked), I decided having the shorter import path would look better in
the examples.
It probably wasn't necessary to update all of the references in the
internal code, but I decided it was worth the consistency.
Closes#91
There's some details to still figure out, which are in new issues:
- #109: When opening a window, no handle is returned that gives access to the
window from the opener. Technically this can all be wired up manually,
with exception of requeesting the window close.
- #107: How can a window close itself? Once we have a handle type, we still
need a mechanism to allow a button on a window request that the window
closes gracefully. The examples that currently close the window
call exit instad.
