Aloe Live Constant Editor

Aloe Live Constant Editor is a Rust crate designed to dynamically edit and manage constant values during the runtime of an application. The crate facilitates an intuitive GUI-driven approach to altering mutable property fields, enabling developers to modify application behavior without recompilation.

Key Functionality

• Live Value Manipulation: Utilize the LiveValueBaseInterface to manipulate live constants, seamlessly switching between string and numerical representations.
• Multiple Editors Integration: Support for various types of editors, including integer sliders, boolean sliders, float sliders, and color selectors via implementations such as SliderComp and ColourEditorComp.
• Document Synchronization: Integrate application behavior with source code management using CodeDocument support, ensuring constant values are updated in real-time.
• Thread Safety: Ensures thread safety with critical sections, providing robust synchronization across multiple concurrent editor instances.

Usage Example

use aloe_live_constant_editor::*;

fn main() {
    let mut code_document = CodeDocument::new();
    let mut live_value = LiveValue::<i32>::new("path/to/file.rs", 42, &100);
    live_value.create_property_component(&mut code_document);
    println!("Current value: {}", live_value.get_string_value(false));
}

API Overview

Traits

• LiveValueBaseInterface: Defines the essential functionality for value manipulation between string and code representations.
