Module smithay_client_toolkit::registry
source · Expand description
Utilities for binding globals with wl_registry
in delegates.
This module is based around the RegistryHandler
trait and RegistryState
.
RegistryState
provides an interface to bind globals regularly, creating an object with each new
instantiation or caching bound globals to prevent duplicate object instances from being created. Binding
a global regularly is accomplished through RegistryState::bind_one
.
The delegate_registry
macro is used to implement handling for wl_registry
.
§Sample implementation of RegistryHandler
use smithay_client_toolkit::reexports::client::{
Connection, Dispatch, QueueHandle,
delegate_dispatch,
globals::GlobalList,
protocol::wl_output,
};
use smithay_client_toolkit::registry::{
GlobalProxy, ProvidesRegistryState, RegistryHandler, RegistryState,
};
struct ExampleApp {
/// The registry state is needed to use the global abstractions.
registry_state: RegistryState,
/// This is a type we want to delegate global handling to.
delegate_that_wants_registry: Delegate,
}
/// The delegate a global should be provided to.
struct Delegate {
outputs: Vec<wl_output::WlOutput>,
}
// When implementing RegistryHandler, you must be able to dispatch any type you could bind using the registry state.
impl<D> RegistryHandler<D> for Delegate
where
// In order to bind a global, you must statically assert the global may be handled with the data type.
D: Dispatch<wl_output::WlOutput, ()>
// ProvidesRegistryState provides a function to access the RegistryState within the impl.
+ ProvidesRegistryState
// We need some way to access our part of the application's state. This uses AsMut,
// but you may prefer to create your own trait to avoid making .as_mut() ambiguous.
+ AsMut<Delegate>
+ 'static,
{
/// New global added after initial enumeration.
fn new_global(
data: &mut D,
conn: &Connection,
qh: &QueueHandle<D>,
name: u32,
interface: &str,
version: u32,
) {
if interface == "wl_output" {
// Bind `wl_output` with newest version from 1 to 4 the compositor supports
let output = data.registry().bind_specific(qh, name, 1..=4, ()).unwrap();
data.as_mut().outputs.push(output);
}
// You could either handle errors here or when attempting to use the interface. Most
// Wayland protocols are optional, so if your application can function without a
// protocol it should try to do so; the From impl of GlobalProxy is written to make
// this straightforward.
}
}
Structs§
- State object associated with the registry handling for smithay’s client toolkit.
Enums§
- A helper for storing a bound global.
Traits§
- Trait which asserts a data type may provide a mutable reference to the registry state.
- A trait implemented by modular parts of a smithay’s client toolkit and protocol delegates that may be used to receive notification of a global being created or destroyed.
