strum VS relm

Take a look at the strum crate. https://crates.io/crates/strum

I would be use something like https://github.com/Peternator7/strum if I need map string to enum and serde is not the option.

Looks like proper support for this in strum has been proposed.

This crate can generate an iterator for you using a macro https://github.com/Peternator7/strum

The strum crate is also good for removing this kind of boilerplate, and worth checking out!

strum is among my favorite crates to recommend. Favorites of this crate include EnumProperty and EnumIter

I released my first crate that provides a derive macro to easily obtain a name of a current variant in an enum as a string. I did it mostly to learn about procedural macros and the process of releasing a crate. I then found out there is strum which does this and much more. Nonetheless, I learned a lot and I found couple of nice tools like ```cargo-release and git-cliff.

I used https://crates.io/crates/strum to iterate over the enum variants, otherwise you'd have to hardcode the list of variants and wouldn't gain anything.

If you chose to go with the "derive a trait" route the strum crate might be what you're looking for. It lets you use derive to add information about variant count, discriminants or even iterators over variants to an enum.

There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.

Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Relm (GTK)

Relm, Slint (formerly SixtyFPS), Druid and Iced are all very promising idiomatic GUI toolkits with a great deal of community activity around them, and all of those perform substantially better in the accessibility department than ImGui and egui, to my knowledge. areweguiyet.com can give you some more pointers as well.

To use relm, you need to add the gtk and relm libraries to your project's dependencies in your Cargo.toml file. You’ll also need to have the gtk library installed.

No , not really a lot of the time people are trying to tackle problems that have taken years to solve in other languages which isn’t easy and is why you see stuff abandoned. This project is also pretty similar to [relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) which is an active project.

The [older gtk3 version of relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) has 2.1k stars. Relm4 is uses gtk4 which is newer.

Relm (supposedly more idiomatic)
