## Features
* Simple, easy-to-use, batteries-included API
* Type-safe, reactive programming model
* [Cross-platform support] (Windows, macOS, Linux, and [the Web])
* Responsive layout
* Built-in widgets (including [text inputs], [scrollables], and more!)
* Custom widget support (create your own!)
* [Debug overlay with performance metrics]
* First-class support for async actions (use futures!)
* [Modular ecosystem] split into reusable parts:
* A [renderer-agnostic native runtime] enabling integration with existing systems
* A [built-in renderer] supporting Vulkan, Metal, DX11, and DX12
* A [windowing shell]
* A [web runtime] leveraging the DOM
__Iced is currently experimental software.__ [Take a look at the roadmap],
[check out the issues], and [feel free to contribute!]

## Installation
Add `iced` as a dependency in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
iced = "0.3"
```
__Iced moves fast and the `master` branch can contain breaking changes!__ If
you want to learn about a specific release, check out [the release list].
[the release list]: https://github.com/hecrj/iced/releases
## Overview
Inspired by [The Elm Architecture], Iced expects you to split user interfaces
into four different concepts:
* __State__ — the state of your application
* __Messages__ — user interactions or meaningful events that you care
about
* __View logic__ — a way to display your __state__ as widgets that
may produce __messages__ on user interaction
* __Update logic__ — a way to react to __messages__ and update your
__state__
We can build something to see how this works! Let's say we want a simple counter
that can be incremented and decremented using two buttons.
We start by modelling the __state__ of our application:
```rust
use iced::button;
struct Counter {
// The counter value
value: i32,
// The local state of the two buttons
increment_button: button::State,
decrement_button: button::State,
}
```
Next, we need to define the possible user interactions of our counter:
the button presses. These interactions are our __messages__:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
pub enum Message {
IncrementPressed,
DecrementPressed,
}
```
Now, let's show the actual counter by putting it all together in our
__view logic__:
```rust
use iced::{Button, Column, Text};
impl Counter {
pub fn view(&mut self) -> Column<Message> {
// We use a column: a simple vertical layout
Column::new()
.push(
// The increment button. We tell it to produce an
// `IncrementPressed` message when pressed
Button::new(&mut self.increment_button, Text::new("+"))
.on_press(Message::IncrementPressed),
)
.push(
// We show the value of the counter here
Text::new(&self.value.to_string()).size(50),
)
.push(
// The decrement button. We tell it to produce a
// `DecrementPressed` message when pressed
Button::new(&mut self.decrement_button, Text::new("-"))
.on_press(Message::DecrementPressed),
)
}
}
```
Finally, we need to be able to react to any produced __messages__ and change our
__state__ accordingly in our __update logic__:
```rust
impl Counter {
// ...
pub fn update(&mut self, message: Message) {
match message {
Message::IncrementPressed => {
self.value += 1;
}
Message::DecrementPressed => {
self.value -= 1;
}
}
}
}
```
And that's everything! We just wrote a whole user interface. Iced is now able
to:
1. Take the result of our __view logic__ and layout its widgets.
1. Process events from our system and produce __messages__ for our
__update logic__.
1. Draw the resulting user interface.

## Implementation details
Iced was originally born as an attempt at bringing the simplicity of [Elm] and
[The Elm Architecture] into [Coffee], a 2D game engine I am working on.
The core of the library was implemented during May 2019 in [this pull request].
[The first alpha version] was eventually released as
[a renderer-agnostic GUI library]. The library did not provide a renderer and
implemented the current [tour example] on top of [`ggez`], a game library.
Since then, the focus has shifted towards providing a batteries-included,
end-user-oriented GUI library, while keeping [the ecosystem] modular:
