A cross-platform input event abstraction modeled after W3C UI Events specifications.

Provides common vocabulary types for working with pointer events (mouse, touch, pen) and keyboard events in a platform-agnostic way. The crate aims to closely follow W3C standards while remaining practical for native application development.

Includes support for:

• Pointer events (down/move/up, pressure, tilt, etc.)
• Keyboard events (key codes, modifiers, location)

For integration with winit, use the companion ui-events-winit adapter crate.

Features

• std (enabled by default): Use the Rust standard library.

Minimum supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This version of UI Events has been verified to compile with Rust 1.73 and later. The no_std build of this library needs Rust 1.81 and later.

Future versions of UI Events might increase the Rust version requirement. It will not be treated as a breaking change and as such can even happen with small patch releases.

# Use the problematic dependency's name and version
cargo update -p package_name --precise 0.1.1
