A very common usability issue on egui-wgpu callbacks is that `paint`
can't access any data that doesn't strictly outlive the callback
resources' data. E.g. if the callback resources have an `Arc` to some
resource manager, you can't easily pull out resources since you
statically needed to ensure that those resource references outlived the
renderpass, whose lifetime was only constrained to the callback
resources themselves.
Wgpu 22 no longer has this restriction! Its (render/compute-)passes take
care of the lifetime of any passed resource internally. The lifetime
constraint is _still_ opt-out since it protects from a common runtime
error of adding commands/passes on the parent encoder while a previously
created pass wasn't closed yet.
This is not a concern in egui-wgpu since the paint method where we have
to access the render pass doesn't even have access to the encoder!

* `App::save` will now be called when the web app is hidden (e.g. goes
to a background tab)
* `App::update` will now be called when the web app is un-hidden (e.g.
becomes the foreground tab)
* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4976
* Part of #4378
* Implements parts of #843
### Background
Some widgets (like `Grid` and `Table`) needs to know the width of future
elements in order to properly size themselves. For instance, the width
of the first column of a grid may not be known until all rows of the
grid has been added, at which point it is too late. Therefore these
widgets store sizes from the previous frame. This leads to "first-frame
jitter", were the content is placed in the wrong place for one frame,
before being accurately laid out in subsequent frames.
### What
This PR adds the function `ctx.request_discard` which discards the
visual output and does another _pass_, i.e. calls the whole app UI code
once again (in eframe this means calling `App::update` again). This will
thus discard the shapes produced by the wrongly placed widgets, and
replace it with new shapes. Note that only the visual output is
discarded - all other output events are accumulated.
Calling `ctx.request_discard` should only be done in very rare
circumstances, e.g. when a `Grid` is first shown. Calling it every frame
will mean the UI code will become unnecessarily slow.
Two safe-guards are in place:
* `Options::max_passes` is by default 2, meaning egui will never do more
than 2 passes even if `request_discard` is called on every pass
* If multiple passes is done for multiple frames in a row, a warning
will be printed on the screen in debug builds:

### Breaking changes
A bunch of things that had "frame" in the name now has "pass" in them
instead:
* Functions called `begin_frame` and `end_frame` are now called
`begin_pass` and `end_pass`
* `FrameState` is now `PassState`
* etc
### TODO
* [x] Figure out good names for everything (`ctx.request_discard`)
* [x] Add API to query if we're gonna repeat this frame (to early-out
from expensive rendering)
* [x] Clear up naming confusion (pass vs frame) e.g. for `FrameState`
* [x] Figure out when to call this
* [x] Show warning on screen when there are several frames in a row with
multiple passes
* [x] Document
* [x] Default on or off?
* [x] Change `Context::frame_nr` name/docs
* [x] Rename `Context::begin_frame/end_frame` and deprecate the old ones
* [x] Test with Rerun
* [x] Document breaking changes
Currently egui will prevent all web events from propagating. This causes
issues in contexts where you are using egui in a larger web context that
wants to receive events that egui does not directly respond to. For
example, currently using egui in a VSCode extension will block all app
hotkeys, such as saving and opening the panel.
This adds a closure to `WebOptions` that takes in a reference to the
egui event that is generated from a web event and returns if the
corresponding web event should be propagated or not. The default for it
is to always return false.
Alternatives I considered were:
1. Having the propagation filter be a property of the focus in memory.
That way it could be configured by the view currently selected. I opted
away from that because I wanted to avoid lowering eframe implementation
specific stuff into egui.
2. Having events contain a `web_propagate` flag that could be set when
handling them. However, that would not be compatible with the current
system of egui events being handled outside of the web event handler.
I just recently started using egui so I am not sure how idiomatic my
approach here is. I would be happy to switch this over to a different
architecture if there are suggestions.

I love egui! Thank you Emil <3
This request specifically enables an `eframe::App` which stores a
lifetime.
In general, I believe this is necessary because `eframe::App` currently
does not seem to provide a good place to allocate and then borrow from
long-lived data between `update()` calls. To attempt to borrow such
long-lived data from a field of the `App` itself would be to create a
self-referential struct. A hacky alternative is to allocate long-lived
data with `Box::leak`, but that's a code smell and would cause problems
if a program ever creates multiple Apps.
As a more specific motivating example, I am developing with the
[inkwell](https://github.com/TheDan64/inkwell/) crate which requires
creating a `inkwell::context::Context` instance which is then borrowed
from by a bazillion things with a dedicated `'ctx` lifetime. I need such
a `inkwell::context::Context` for the duration of my `eframe::App` but I
can't store it as a field of the app. The most natural solution to me is
to simply to lift the inkwell context outside of the App and borrow from
it, but that currently fails because the AppCreator implicitly has a
`'static` lifetime requirement due to the use of `dyn` trait objects.
Here is a simpler, self-contained motivating example adapted from the
current [hello world example](https://docs.rs/eframe/latest/eframe/):
```rust
use eframe::egui;
struct LongLivedThing {
message: String,
}
fn main() {
let long_lived_thing = LongLivedThing {
message: "Hello World!".to_string(),
};
let native_options = eframe::NativeOptions::default();
eframe::run_native(
"My egui App",
native_options,
Box::new(|cc| Ok(Box::new(MyEguiApp::new(cc, &long_lived_thing)))),
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
// BORROWING from long_lived_thing in App
);
}
struct MyEguiApp<'a> {
long_lived_thing: &'a LongLivedThing,
}
impl<'a> MyEguiApp<'a> {
fn new(cc: &eframe::CreationContext<'_>, long_lived_thing: &'a LongLivedThing) -> Self {
// Customize egui here with cc.egui_ctx.set_fonts and cc.egui_ctx.set_visuals.
// Restore app state using cc.storage (requires the "persistence" feature).
// Use the cc.gl (a glow::Context) to create graphics shaders and buffers that you can use
// for e.g. egui::PaintCallback.
MyEguiApp { long_lived_thing }
}
}
impl<'a> eframe::App for MyEguiApp<'a> {
fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
ui.heading(&self.long_lived_thing.message);
});
}
}
```
This currently fails to compile with:
```plaintext
error[E0597]: `long_lived_thing` does not live long enough
--> src/main.rs:16:55
|
16 | Box::new(|cc| Ok(Box::new(MyEguiApp::new(cc, &long_lived_thing)))),
| ----------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^----
| | | |
| | | borrowed value does not live long enough
| | value captured here
| cast requires that `long_lived_thing` is borrowed for `'static`
17 | );
18 | }
| - `long_lived_thing` dropped here while still borrowed
|
= note: due to object lifetime defaults, `Box<dyn for<'a, 'b> FnOnce(&'a CreationContext<'b>) -> Result<Box<dyn App>, Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>>>` actually means `Box<(dyn for<'a, 'b> FnOnce(&'a CreationContext<'b>) -> Result<Box<dyn App>, Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>> + 'static)>`
```
With the added lifetimes in this request, I'm able to compile and run
this as expected on Ubuntu + Wayland. I see the CI has been emailing me
about some build failures and I'll do what I can to address those.
Currently running the check.sh script as well.
This is intended to resolve https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/2152

Hello,
I have made several corrections to stabilize the virtual keyboard on
Android and IOS (Chrome and Safari).
I don't know if these corrections can have a negative impact in certain
situations, but at the moment they don't cause me any problems.
I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have about these fixes.
These fixes correct several issues with the display of the virtual
keyboard, particularly since update 0.28, which can be reproduced on the
egui demo site.
We hope to be able to help you.
Thanks a lot for your work, I'm having a lot of fun with egui :)
* Some initial progress towards #4490
This PR just moves `Theme` and the "follow system theme" settings to
egui and adds `RawInput.system_theme`.
A follow-up PR can then introduce the two separate `dark_mode_style` and
`light_mode_style` fields on `Options`.

### Breaking changes
The options `follow_system_theme` and `default_theme` has been moved
from `eframe` into `egui::Options`, settable with `ctx.options_mut`
---------
Co-authored-by: Emil Ernerfeldt <emil.ernerfeldt@gmail.com>
* Fixes https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/issues/6638
* Related? https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4563
This improves how an eframe canvas works inside of a larger web page,
and how it works when there are multiple eframe apps in the same page.
`eframe` will set `tabindex="0"` on the canvas automatically, making it
focusable.
It will also set `outline: none` on the CSS, so the focused canvas won't
have an ugly outline.
## Breaking changes
You may wanna add this to your `index.html` to give the canvas focus on
startup:
```js
document.getElementById("the_canvas_id").focus();
```
## Test setup
```sh
./scripts/build_demo_web.sh
./scripts/start_server.sh
open http://localhost:8888/multiple_apps.html
```
Then open the "Input Event History" and "Text Edit" windows
## Tested
* Chromium
* [x] drag-and-drop of files
* Test both when a `TextEdit` is focused and when it is not:
* [x] `Event::Key`
* [x] `Event::Text`
* [x] copy-cut-paste
* [x] Wheel scroll
* [x] `Event::PointerGone`
* [x] Mouse drag
* [x] Mouse click
* [x] Mouse right-click
* [x] Defocus all eframe canvas, and then start typing text
* [x] Firefox (all of the above)
* [x] Desktop Safari (all of the above)
* [x] Mobile Safari

- Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4060 - no longer aligned
to top
- Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4479 - `canvas.style` is
not set anywhere anymore
- Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/2231 - same as #4060
- Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3618 - there is now one
`<input>` per `eframe` app, and it's removed transitively by
`WebRunner::destroy -> AppRunner::drop -> TextAgent::drop`
This PR improves the text agent to make fewer assumptions about how
`egui` is embedded into the page:
- Text agent no longer sets the canvas position
- There is now a text agent for each instance of `WebRunner`
- The input element is now moved to the correct position, so the OS can
display the IME window in the correct place. Before it would typically
be outside of the viewport
The best way to test this is to build & server the web demo locally:
```
scripts/build_demo_web.sh && scripts/start_server.sh
```
Then open the EasyMark editor, and try using IME to input some emojis:
http://localhost:8888/#EasyMarkEditor
To open the emoji keyboard use:
- <kbd>win + .</kbd> on Windows
- <kbd>ctrl + cmd + space</kbd> on Mac
Tested on:
- [x] Windows
- [x] Linux
- [x] MacOS
- [x] Android
- [x] iOS
## Migration guide
The canvas no longer controls its own size/position on the page. This
means that those properties can now be controlled entirely via HTML and
CSS, and multiple separate `eframe` apps can coexist better on a single
page.
To match the old behavior, set the `canvas` width and height to 100% of
the `body` element:
```html
<html>
<body>
<canvas></canvas>
</body>
</html>
```
```css
/* remove default margins and use full viewport */
html, body {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
canvas {
/* match parent element size */
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
```
Note that there is no need to set `position: absolute`/`left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%)`/etc., and setting those properties may
poorly affect the sharpness of `egui`-rendered text.
Because `eframe` no longer updates the canvas style in any way, it also
means that on mobile, the canvas no longer collapses upwards to make
space for a mobile keyboard. This should be solved in other ways:
https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4572
The closure passed to `eframe::run_native` now returns a `Result`,
allowing you to return an error during app creation, which will be
returned to the caller of `run_native`.
This means you need to wrap your `Box::new(MyApp::new(…))` in an
`Ok(…)`.
* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4474
The closure is now stored in `WebRunner` and dropped in the next
`request_animation_frame` instead of being "leaked" via `forget`

Currently, if the size of the canvas element changes independently of
the size of the browser window (e.g. due to its parent element
shrinking), then no repaints are scheduled.
This PR replaces the `resize` event with a `ResizeObserver`, which
ensures that _any_ resize of the canvas element (including those caused
by browser window resizes) trigger a repaint. The repaint is done
synchronously as part of the resize event, to reduce any potential
flickering.
The result seems to pass the rendering tests on most platform+browser
combinations. We tested:
- Chrome, Firefox, Safari on macOS
- Chrome, Firefox on Linux (ubuntu and arch, both running wayland)
- Chrome, Firefox on Windows
Firefox still has some antialiasing issues on Linux platforms, but this
antialiasing also happens on `master`, so this PR is not a regression
there.
The code setting `canvas.style.width` and `canvas.style.height` at the
start of `AppRunner::logic` was also removed - the canvas _display_ size
is now fully controlled by CSS, e.g. by setting `canvas { width: 100%;
height: 100%; }`.
The approach used here is described in
https://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/webgl-resizing-the-canvas.html
Note: The only remaining place where egui updates the style of the
canvas it is rendering to is some of the IME/mobile input handling code.
Fixing that is out of scope for this PR, and will be done in a followup
PR.
For integrations: just emit `egui::Event::MouseWheel` (like before).
egui will interpret that as zoom or pan.
On the way towards https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4401
Motivation: I want to replace `cargo-cranky` with workspace lints, first
available in Rust 1.74.
However, `cargo doc` would hange on `wgpu` and `wgpu-core` on 1.74 and
1.75… so now we're on 1.76.
I think this is fine - when 1.78 is released next week we're still two
versions behind the bleeding edge.
…and the branch name is just wrong 🤦

I would love some more testers of this.
I'm not sure if we really need the round-to-even code, but I'm hesitant
to out-right revert https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/151 when I cannot
reproduce its problem. Keeping it seems quite safe though.

# Testing
Checkout the branch and run:
* `./scripts/start_server.sh`
* `./scripts/build_demo_web.sh` and then open
`http://localhost:8888/index.html#Rendering`
* `./scripts/build_demo_web.sh --wgpu` and then open
`http://localhost:8888/index.html#Rendering`
Check the "Rendering test" that the squares in the pixel alignment test
are perfectly sharp, like this:
<img width="576" alt="Screenshot 2024-04-01 at 13 27 20"

Please try it on different zoom levels in different browsers, and if
possible on different monitors with different native dpi scaling. Report
back the results!
### Mac
I have tested on a high-DPI Mac:
* Chromium (Brave): ✅ Can reproduce problem on `master`, and it's now
fixed
* Firefox: ✅ Can reproduce problem on `master`, and it's now fixed
* Safari: ❌ Can't get it to work; giving up for now
Before, when setting the `zoom_factor`, the website was already
enlarged, but the zoom was ignored when calculating the logical window
size and mouse position, causing an offset between the actual cursor and
selected elements. That is addressed here

Previously, any frames in flight (`requestAnimationFrame`) on web were
not being cancelled (`cancelAnimationFrame`) when `WebRunner::destroy`
was called. If a user called `destroy`, then immediately removed the
canvas from the DOM, eframe could panic with a "failed to find (canvas)
element by id" error message.
This PR changes two things:
- The canvas element is directly referenced everywhere it's needed
instead of being looked up by `canvas_id`[^1]
- The RAF handle is stored in `WebRunner` and `cancelAnimationFrame` is
called on it inside of `WebRunner::destroy`[^2]
[^1]: The WebGL/WGPU backends were already holding onto the canvas (and
associated GPU context), so the change is just converting all the
`get_element_by_id` lookups to retrieve the canvas from the web runner
handle.
[^2]: There is only ever one frame in flight, so we store it directly as
a scalar field.
