Improving the organization of the application
The main
function is starting to get bigger, so we'll refactor our code a little to make it easier to update in the upcoming sections and chapters.
First, we'll create a new module called toolbar
. As a reminder, here's how to do so:
- Create a new file:Â
src/toolbar.rs
. - Add a statement,Â
mod toolbar;
, at the top of the filemain.rs
.
This new module toolbar
will start with the import statement and the const
declaration:
use gtk::{ ContainerExt, SeparatorToolItem, Toolbar, ToolButton, }; const PLAY_STOCK: &str = "gtk-media-play";
We'll then create a new structure holding all the widgets that compose the toolbar:
pub struct MusicToolbar { open_button: ToolButton, next_button: ToolButton, play_button: ToolButton, previous_button: ToolButton, quit_button: ToolButton, remove_button: ToolButton, stop_button: ToolButton, toolbar: Toolbar, }
We use the pub
keyword here because we want to be able to use this type...
