Expand description

A component that can be part of the main application or other components.

A RelmComponent has its own widget, model and message type and can send messages to its parent and its children components.

Multiple RelmComponents that have the same parent are usually bundled in a struct that implements Components.

Implementations

Create a new RelmComponent.

            comp2: RelmComponent::new(parent_model, parent_sender),
        }
    }

Connect the widgets to the widgets of the parent widget.

    }

Send a message to this component. This can be used by the parent to send messages to this component.

Returns a mutable reference to the widgets of this component or None if you already have a refernce to the widgets.

Use this carefully and make sure the reference to the widgets is dropped after use because otherwise the view function can’t be called as long you own the widgets (it uses RefCell internally).
