Use Cases

Use Cases (ISO 26262:8 11.4.5.1)

Using Slint SC in a project

• ID : UC_ADD_SLINT_SC_TO_PROJECT
• Input : Cargo.toml file in the root of a rust project file tree
• Output : Modified Cargo.toml file that includes Slint SC as a dependency
• Environment Constraints: (TODO)

When Slint SC is available, it will be a crate on crates.io ↗. To add it to a project, one simply adds Slint SC as a dependency in Cargo.toml.

(TODO - show example)

Compiling a .slint file into Rust

• ID : UC_COMPILE_SLINT_FILE
• Input : a .slint file
• Output : Rust code that can be compiled into the final executable.
• Environment Constraints: (TODO)

The slint-compiler binary, invoked with --slint-sc, translates the .slint file into Rust code:

slint-compiler --slint-sc -o main_file.rs mainFile.slint

bash

The generated code is then compiled and linked into the application together with the slint-sc runtime crate.

(TODO: slint_build doesn’t support Slint SC yet, so there’s no build-script integration. When it gains one, this use case grows a build.rs variant.)
