//! Iced is a cross-platform GUI library focused on simplicity and type-safety.
//! Inspired by [Elm].
//!
//! # 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
//!
//! Check out the [repository] and the [examples] for more details!

//! # 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:
//!
//! ```
//! struct Counter {
//!     // The counter value
//!     value: i32,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Next, we need to define the possible user interactions of our counter:
//! the button presses. These interactions are our __messages__:
//!
//! ```
//! #[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__:
//!
//! ```
//! # struct Counter {
//! #     // The counter value
//! #     value: i32,
//! # }
//! #
//! # #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
//! # pub enum Message {
//! #     IncrementPressed,
//! #     DecrementPressed,
//! # }
//! #
//! use iced::widget::{button, column, text, Column};
//!
//! impl Counter {
//!     pub fn view(&mut self) -> Column<Message> {
//!         // We use a column: a simple vertical layout
//!         column![
//!             // The increment button. We tell it to produce an
//!             // `IncrementPressed` message when pressed
//!             button("+").on_press(Message::IncrementPressed),
//!
//!             // We show the value of the counter here
//!             text(self.value).size(50),
//!
//!             // The decrement button. We tell it to produce a
//!             // `DecrementPressed` message when pressed
//!             button("-").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__:
//!
//! ```
//! # struct Counter {
//! #     // The counter value
//! #     value: i32,
//! # }
//! #
//! # #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
//! # pub enum Message {
//! #     IncrementPressed,
//! #     DecrementPressed,
//! # }
//! 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.
//!
//! # Usage
//! The [`Application`] and [`Sandbox`] traits should get you started quickly,
//! streamlining all the process described above!
