pub struct WidgetId(_);Expand description
A unique identifier for a single Widget.
WidgetIds are generated automatically for all widgets that participate
in layout. More specifically, each WidgetPod has a unique WidgetId.
These ids are used internally to route events, and can be used to communicate
between widgets, by submitting a command (as with EventCtx::submit_command)
and passing a WidgetId as the Target.
A widget can retrieve its id via methods on the various contexts, such as
LifeCycleCtx::widget_id.
Explicit WidgetIds.
Sometimes, you may want to know a widget’s id when constructing the widget.
You can give a widget an explicit id by wrapping it in an IdentityWrapper
widget, or by using the WidgetExt::with_id convenience method.
If you set a WidgetId directly, you are responsible for ensuring that it
is unique in time. That is: only one widget can exist with a given id at a
given time.
Implementations§
§impl WidgetId
impl WidgetId
pub fn next() -> WidgetId
pub fn next() -> WidgetId
Allocate a new, unique WidgetId.
All widgets are assigned ids automatically; you should only create an explicit id if you need to know it ahead of time, for instance if you want two sibling widgets to know each others’ ids.
You must ensure that a given WidgetId is only ever used for one
widget at a time.
pub const fn reserved(raw: u16) -> WidgetId
pub const fn reserved(raw: u16) -> WidgetId
Create a reserved WidgetId, suitable for reuse.
The caller is responsible for ensuring that this ID is in fact assigned to a single widget at any time, or your code may become haunted.
The actual inner representation of the returned WidgetId will not
be the same as the raw value that is passed in; it will be
u64::max_value() - raw.
