Core Features & Use Cases

Define domain-specific actions and emit them from widgets
Centralize action handling in App::handle_actions for predictable state updates
Support widget actions, posted actions, modal and navigation patterns, and cross-component communication

Quick Start

Emit widget actions using cx.widget_action in response to events, and centralize all action handling in App::handle_actions to drive UI and state changes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I handle UI actions centrally in Makepad?▼

Makepad event and action patterns coordinate UI interactions by emitting domain-specific widget actions via cx.widget_action and centralizing their handling in App::handle_actions for predictable state updates.

What is the best way to manage cross-component communication in Makepad apps?▼

Cross-component communication in Makepad apps uses posted actions and centralized handling in App::handle_actions to maintain clear separation between widgets and app logic.

How do I emit and handle asynchronous widget actions?▼

Emit asynchronous widget actions using cx.widget_action in response to events, then match and downcast them within App::handle_actions to process modal and navigation patterns.

Does centralized action handling support platform-conditional patterns in Makepad?▼

Yes, centralized action handling in Makepad supports platform-conditional patterns by applying downcasting and matching within App::handle_actions to execute platform-specific UI logic.

When should I use cx.widget_action instead of direct event handling?▼

Use cx.widget_action instead of direct event handling when you need to define domain-specific actions, emit them from widgets, and centralize action matching in App::handle_actions for reliable cross-component communication.
