• factory
  Defines traits and data types to generate widgets from collections efficiently.
• loading_widgets
  Utilities for removing temporary widgets from async factories or components.
• prelude
  Commonly-imported traits and types.
• shared_state
  Shared state that can be accessed by many components.
• shutdown
  Cancellation mechanism used by Relm4.

Macros

• menu
  A macro to create menus.
• new_action_group
  Create a new type that implements ActionGroupName.
• new_stateful_action
  Create a new type that implements ActionName with state and target type.
• new_stateless_action
  Create a new type that implements ActionName without state or target type.
• sendDeprecated
  A short macro for conveniently sending messages.
• view
  The view! macro allows you to construct your UI easily and cleanly.

• ComponentSender
  Contains senders to send and receive messages from a Component.
• FactorySender
