Managing Resources

Resources are the non-view data your application depends on at runtime:

• Fonts for typography
• Icons and SVG assets
• Raster images
• Localized text (translations)
• Stylesheets for visual design

In Vizia, most resources are loaded through methods on the context inside your Application::new closure.

use vizia::prelude::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), ApplicationError> {
	Application::new(|cx| {
		cx.add_stylesheet(include_style!("src/style.css"))
			.expect("failed to load stylesheet");

		cx.load_image(
			"logo",
			include_bytes!("resources/images/logo.png"),
			ImageRetentionPolicy::DropWhenNoObservers,
		);

		Label::new(cx, "Resources loaded");
	})
	.run()
}

Suggested structure

Keep resource files in predictable folders so paths stay stable:

.
├── Cargo.toml
└── src
	├── main.rs
	└── resources
		├── fonts/
		├── images/
		├── icons/
		└── translations/
