| # //ui/base |
| |
| This directory contains low-level code that is reused throughout the chromium UI |
| stack. Code in this directory can't depend on most of the rest of //ui (with a |
| few exceptions), and code throughout the rest of //ui can depend on it. |
| |
| Toolkit-specific libraries in this directory include: |
| |
| * [cocoa](cocoa): for working with Cocoa on macOS |
| * [wayland](wayland): for Linux systems with Wayland |
| * [webui](webui): for WebUI in Chromium |
| * [win](win): for Windows systems |
| * [x](x): for Linux systems with X11 |
| |
| Platform-independent libraries in this directory include: |
| |
| * [l10n](l10n): localization APIs used throughout all of chromium, especially |
| the widely-used `l10n_util::GetString*` functions |
| * [metadata](metadata): the implementation of the property/metadata system used |
| throughout [views] |
| * [models](models): toolkit-agnostic types used to represent the data shown in |
| UI controls and dialogs |
| * [resource](resource): resource bundle APIs, which are used for retrieving |
| icons and raw localized strings from the app package |
| |
| As with most "base" libraries this is somewhat of a dumping ground of code that |
| is used in a bunch of other places, and there's no hard and fast rule to tell |
| what should or shouldn't be in here. If in doubt, consult with the |
| [owners](OWNERS). |
