Create a new instance of a Relm widget #288

Closed MGlolenstine closed 3 years ago

MGlolenstine commented 3 years ago

How does one create a new instance of a Relm widget? If I want to add GTK widgets to a FlowBox, we'd do it from inside the init_view and just use gtk::Container::add(), but I'm unsure on how to do it with Relm widgets, as they don't seem to have new() method and the only method that returns the widget itself is view, which requires Relm<WidgetModel>.

Is there a better way to do this, maybe just linking a vector to the FlowBox?

I've solved the problem. You can use relm::create_component, provide arguments for the model method and just call widget() on it to get the widget you're looking for.

let item_card = relm::create_component::<ItemCard>(d);
let item_card = item_card.widget();
self.widgets.search_result_box.add(item_card);

You can also import the trait ContainerWidget and call the method add_widget().
