sweeten

sweeten your daily iced brew

Overview

sweeten provides sweetened versions of common iced widgets with additional functionality for more complex use cases. It aims to maintain the simplicity and elegance of iced while offering "sweetened" variants with extended capabilities.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
sweeten = "0.1.0"

Current Features

MouseArea

A sweetened version of iced's mouse_area widget with an additional on_press_with method for capturing the click position with a closure. Use it like:

mouse_area("Click me and I'll tell you where!",)
    .on_press_with(|point| Message::ClickWithPoint(point)),

PickList

A sweetened version of iced's PickList which accepts an optional closure to disable some items. Use it like:

pick_list(
    &Language::ALL[..],
    Some(|languages: &[Language]| {
        languages
            .iter()
            .map(|lang| matches!(lang, Language::Javascript))
            .collect()
    }),
    self.selected_language,
    Message::Pick,
)
.placeholder("Choose a language...");

Note that the compiler is not currently able to infer the type of the closure, so you may need to specify it explicitly as shown above.

TextInput

A sweetened version of iced's text_input widget with additional focus-related features:

• .on_focus and .on_blur methods for handling focus events
• Sweetened focus_next and focus_previous focus management functions, which return the ID of the focused element

Examples

For complete examples, see examples/ or run an example like this:

cargo run --example mouse_area

Other examples include:

cargo run --example pick_list
cargo run --example text_input
