SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Makes it easier to develop and maintain cross-platform Makepad applications by standardizing platform and backend guidance, and by exposing clear conventions for OS detection and conditional compilation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explain supported platforms and graphics backends (macOS/iOS Metal, Windows D3D11, Linux OpenGL, Web WebGL2, Android OpenGL ES, OpenHarmony OHOS, OpenXR).
  • Document platform APIs and compile-time/runtime checks (cx.os_type, #[cfg(target_os = "...")] patterns, backend mappings).
  • Provide starter guidance for multi-platform code organization and cross-platform UI patterns.

Quick Start

Ask questions about cross-platform Makepad support and how to structure platform-specific code.

Frequently Asked Questions about makepad-platform

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle cross-platform compilation in Makepad for different operating systems?▼

Makepad detects operating systems using the cx.os_type API for runtime checks. This allows dynamic platform identification and conditional logic execution during application runtime.

What graphics backends does Makepad support for cross-platform UI rendering?▼

Makepad detects operating systems using the cx.os_type API for runtime checks. This allows dynamic platform identification and conditional logic execution during application runtime.

How do I detect the current OS in a Makepad application at runtime?▼

Makepad detects operating systems using the cx.os_type API for runtime checks. This allows dynamic platform identification and conditional logic execution during application runtime.

Does Makepad support cross-platform development for mobile and web environments?▼

Makepad detects operating systems using the cx.os_type API for runtime checks. This allows dynamic platform identification and conditional logic execution during application runtime.

What is the best way to organize platform-specific code in a Makepad project?▼

Organizing platform-specific Makepad code requires using Rust's conditional compilation attributes to separate logic. Structured markdown sections and local documentation references guide multi-platform code organization and cross-platform UI patterns.
