Methods of Var<T> that are object safe.

This trait is sealed and cannot be implemented for types outside of this crate.

Required Methods

fn clone_any(&self) -> Box<dyn AnyVar>

Clone the variable into a type erased box.

This is never BoxedVar<T>, that is not a double box.

fn as_any(&self) -> &(dyn Any + 'static)

Access to dyn Any methods.

fn as_unboxed_any(&self) -> &(dyn Any + 'static)

Access to dyn Any methods, on the underlying variable type if boxed.

fn double_boxed_any(self: Box<Self>) -> Box<dyn Any>

Access to Box<dyn Any> methods, with the BoxedVar<T> type.

This is a double-boxed to allow downcast to BoxedVar<T>.

fn var_type_id(&self) -> TypeId

Gets the TypeId of T in Var<T>.

fn get_any(&self) -> Box<dyn AnyVarValue>

Get a clone of the current value, with type erased.

fn with_any(&self, read: &mut dyn FnMut(&(dyn AnyVarValue + 'static)))

Visit the current value of the variable.

fn with_new_any( &self, read: &mut dyn FnMut(&(dyn AnyVarValue + 'static)), ) -> bool

Visit the current value of the variable, if it is_new.

fn set_any(&self, value: Box<dyn AnyVarValue>) -> Result<(), VarIsReadOnlyError>

Schedule a new value for the variable, it will be set in the end of the current app update.

Panics

Panics if the value is not of the same var_type_id.

fn last_update(&self) -> VarUpdateId

Last update ID a variable was modified, if the ID is equal to VARS.update_id the variable is new.

fn is_contextual(&self) -> bool

If the variable represents different values depending on the context where they are read.

fn capabilities(&self) -> VarCapability

Flags that indicate what operations the variable is capable of in this update.

fn is_animating(&self) -> bool

If the variable current value was set by an active animation.

The variable is_new when this changes to true, but it may not be new when the value changes to false. If the variable is not updated at the last frame of the animation that has last set it, it will not update just because that animation has ended. You can use hook_animation_stop to get a notification when the last animation stops, or use wait_animation to get a future that is ready when is_animating changes from true to false.

fn modify_importance(&self) -> usize

Gets a value that indicates the importance clearance that is needed to modify this variable.

If the variable has the MODIFY capability, modify requests will return Ok(()), but they will be ignored if the VARS.current_modify importance is less than the variable’s at the moment the request is made.

Note that VARS.current_modify outside animations always overrides this value, so direct modify requests always override running animations.

This is the mechanism that ensures that only the latest animation has control of the variable value, most animations check this value and automatically cancel if overridden, but event assigns from custom animations made using VARS.animate are ignored if the variable is modified from a newer source then the animation.

If the variable does not have MODIFY capability the value returned is undefined.

fn hook_any( &self, pos_modify_action: Box<dyn Fn(&AnyVarHookArgs<'_>) -> bool + Sync + Send>, ) -> VarHandle

Setups a callback for just after the variable value update is applied, the closure runs in the root app context, just like the modify closure. The closure can return if it is retained after each call. If you modify another variable in a hook the modification applies in the same update, variable mapping and binding is implemented using hooks.

The variable store a weak reference to the callback if it has the MODIFY or CAPS_CHANGE capabilities, otherwise the callback is discarded and VarHandle::dummy returned.

fn hook_animation_stop( &self, handler: Box<dyn FnOnce() + Send>, ) -> Result<(), Box<dyn FnOnce() + Send>>

Register a handler to be called when the current animation stops.

Note that the handler is owned by the animation, not the variable, it will only be called/dropped when the animation stops.

Returns the handler as an error if the variable is not animating. Note that if you are interacting with the variable from a non-UI thread the variable can stops animating between checking is_animating and registering the hook, in this case the handler will be returned as an error as well.

fn strong_count(&self) -> usize

Gets the number of strong references to the variable.

This is the Arc::strong_count for Arc variables, the context var count for ContextVar<T>, the boxed var count for BoxedVar<T> and 0 for LocalVar<T>.

fn weak_count(&self) -> usize

Gets the number of weak references to the variable.

This is the Arc::weak_count for Arc variables, the context var count for ContextVar<T>, the boxed var count for BoxedVar<T> and 0 for LocalVar<T>.

fn actual_var_any(&self) -> Box<dyn AnyVar>

Gets a clone of the represented var from ContextVar<T>, gets a clone of self for other var types.

fn downgrade_any(&self) -> Box<dyn AnyWeakVar>

Create a weak reference to this Arc variable.

The weak reference is made to the actual_var, if the actual var is a LocalVar<T> a types::WeakArcVar<T> is returned, for Arc vars an actual weak reference is made.

fn var_ptr(&self) -> VarPtr<'_>

Var pointer, that can be used to identify if two variables point to the same rc or context.

If two of these values are equal, both variables point to the same rc or context at the moment of comparison. Note that this is only for comparison, trying to access the variable internals is never safe.

fn get_debug(&self) -> Txt

Get the value as a debug Txt.

fn update(&self) -> Result<(), VarIsReadOnlyError>

Schedule a variable update, even if the value does no change.

Usually variables only notify update if the value is changed to a different one, calling this method flags the variable to notify.

fn map_debug(&self) -> Box<dyn VarBoxed<Txt>>

Create a map that converts from T to a Txt debug print.

Provided Methods

fn is_new(&self) -> bool

Gets if the last_update is the current update, meaning the variable value just changed.

Note that this is only reliable in threads synchronized with the UI update, this status can change at any time when called from other app threads.

fn perm(&self)

Hold the variable in memory until the app exit.

fn hold_any(&self, value: Box<dyn Any + Sync + Send>) -> VarHandle

Keep other alive until the handle or self are dropped.
