Aloe TextEditor

Aloe TextEditor is a versatile Rust library designed to facilitate the creation and manipulation of advanced text editing components. This crate provides a comprehensive suite of functionalities, enabling developers to implement rich text editors with ease.

Features

• Editable Text Box: Supports single or multiline modes, accommodating mixed fonts and colors, with a variety of configurable options including word wrap and scroll bars.
• Text Manipulation API: Includes traits and structures for text input filtering, text editing actions (insertions, deletions), and drag operations.
• Input Filtering: Ability to limit input based on character restrictions or length through custom filters.
• Accessibility Support: Built-in handlers ensure text editors are accessible, complying with various user interface guidelines.
• Undo/Redo System: Integrates an undo manager allowing for sophisticated text state management.
• Popup Menu Integration: Supports context-sensitive menus for text operations like cut, copy, paste, and more.
• Event Callbacks: Interfaces for handling text changes, keyboard events, and focus events, allowing dynamic response to user interactions.

Usage

To get started with Aloe TextEditor, add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aloe-texteditor = "0.1.0"

The library includes the primary TextEditor struct and several traits/interfaces to extend its functionalities:

• TextEditorInterface: Core interface for text editing functionality.
• TextEditorListener: Callback interface for text change events.
• TextEditorInputFilter: Base class for input filters.

Example

use aloe_texteditor::{TextEditor, TextEditorListener};

struct MyListener;

impl TextEditorListener for MyListener {
    fn text_editor_text_changed(&mut self, editor: &mut TextEditor) {
        println!("Text changed: {}", editor.get_text());
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut editor = TextEditor::new(None, None);
    editor.set_text("Hello, Aloe!", true); // Set initial text
    editor.add_listener(Box::new(MyListener));
}
