iced-rs/iced

A cross-platform GUI library for Rust focused on simplicity and type-safety. Inspired by Elm.

Iced is currently experimental software. Take a look at the roadmap and check out the issues.

Inspired by The Elm Architecture, Iced expects you to split user interfaces into four different concepts:

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:

Next, we need to define the possible user interactions of our counter: the button presses. These interactions are our messages:

Now, let's show the actual counter by putting it all together in our view logic:

Finally, we need to be able to react to any produced messages and change our state accordingly in our update logic:

And that's everything! We just wrote a whole user interface. Let's run it:
