slint-template

A Slint template for Rust that comes with translations, bases for winresources and github actions to bundle the project into installers for linux, macos arm and windows.

Clean after using to create a repo

• Update all occurences of slint-template to your project's name in the following files :
  • Cargo.toml
  • All three packager.*.toml files.
  • ui/app-window.slint
  • all translations filenames
  • .github/workflows/build.yaml
• Update the translations metadata.

Translations

Please follow the official documentation.
Translations are stored in the lang/ folder.

Winresources

The metadata are configured in the Cargo.toml file.
Resources such as the project's icon are stored in the res/ folder.

Sources folder

The src/ folder contains three elements:

• main.rs: your project's entrypoint.
• app/: a folder that contains all the application's logic that is not directly related to the UI such as installing a dependency.
• ui/: a folder that contains the bindings to the UI such as callbacks, creating the windows, etc.

UI folder

The UI folder contains some subfolders to organize the project (nothing in set in stone) :

• assets/ : the fonts, images and other assets of the UI.
• app-window.slint : the main UI file loaded by Rust.

Github action

All 4 github actions will run when a new tag (ex: 1.0.0) is pushed.
They will then create a release with standalone executables and installers for linux, windows and macos intel/arm.
