# Examples
__Iced moves fast and the `master` branch can contain breaking changes!__ If
you want to learn about a specific release, check out [the release list].

## [Tour](tour.rs)
A simple UI tour showcasing different widgets that can be built using Iced.

The example can run both on native and web platforms, using the same GUI code!

On native, the example uses:
  - [`iced_winit`], as a bridge between [`iced_native`] and [`winit`].
  - [`iced_wgpu`], a WIP Iced renderer built on top of [`wgpu`] and supporting
    Vulkan, Metal, D3D11, and D3D12 (OpenGL and WebGL soon!).

The web version uses [`iced_web`], which is still a work in progress. In
particular, the styling of elements is not finished yet (text color, alignment,
sizing, etc).

The __[`tour`]__ file contains all the code of the example! All the
cross-platform GUI is defined in terms of __state__, __messages__,
__update logic__ and __view logic__.

[`tour`]: tour.rs
[`iced_winit`]: ../winit
[`iced_native`]: ../native
[`iced_wgpu`]: ../wgpu
[`iced_web`]: ../web
[`winit`]: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit
[`wgpu`]: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-rs

#### Running the native version
Use [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#examples)
to run the example:

```
cargo run --example tour
```

#### Running the web version
Build using the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target and use the [`wasm-bindgen`] CLI
to generate appropriate bindings in a `tour` directory.

```
cd examples
cargo build --example tour --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
wasm-bindgen ../target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/debug/examples/tour.wasm --out-dir tour --web
```

Finally, serve the `examples` directory using an HTTP server and access the
`tour.html` file.

## [Coffee]

Since [Iced was born in May], it has been powering the user interfaces in
[Coffee], an experimental 2D game engine.

If you want to give Iced a try without having to write your own renderer,
the __[`ui` module]__ in [Coffee] is probably your best choice as of now.
