* Draft `iced_virtual` subcrateLibravatar Héctor Ramón Jiménez2022-02-095-0/+222
The idea here is to expose a set of "virtual widgets" that can be used with a `Virtual` widget and its `virtual::State`. A virtual widget is a widget that does not contain any state, but instead is a "virtual" representation of the "real" widget. The real widgets are stored in the `virtual::State`. Every time a new virtual widget tree is created during `view`, it is compared to the previous one and "real" widgets are added / removed to the `virtual::State`. Effectively, this removes the need to keep track of local widget state in the application state and allows `view` to take an immutable reference to `self`. To summarize, using this crate should allow users to remove `State` structs in their application state. Eventually, the strategy used here may be adopted generally and, as a result, all of the widgets in `iced_native` would be replaced!
