Elements

Element pages document the underlying widget struct types. Use them when constructor-level documentation is not enough.

# Use this when...

• You need explicit widget types in signatures or helper APIs.
• You are reading trait bounds and advanced builder behavior.
• You need exact struct-level docs from rustdoc.

# Minimal example

use iced::widget::button;

let action: iced::widget::Button<'_, Message> = button("Run").on_press(Message::Run);

# How it works

Constructors usually produce these element structs. You can often stay at constructor level, then move here for deeper control or type-level integration.

# Common patterns

fn toolbar<'a>() -> iced::Element<'a, Message> {
    iced::widget::row![
        iced::widget::button("Open").on_press(Message::Open),
        iced::widget::button("Save").on_press(Message::Save),
    ]
    .spacing(8)
    .into()
}

# Gotchas / tips

• You rarely need to name element struct types directly in early code.
• When type errors are confusing, check these pages for full generic bounds.
• Prefer constructors in app code and element types in reusable abstractions.
