Best way to access Rust struct in Slint?

[richardmcatlin]

I have rust structs coming from the backend (aka Clean Architecture Entities). What's the best way to access these structs from slint? In the examples, I see slint defining the struct and rust using them, but not the other way around. Thanks.

I'll have to dig around to find it but there should be some issues and / or discussions about this. Unless it changed recently (and I missed it) this currently isn't possible, but they are working on it from what I recall.

Edit: here is an issue for the same basic request #1726

While waiting that #1726 is supported, i recommend you just implement manually the From rust trait to convert between the Rust and an equivalent Slint struct, and convert between these.

Good point, I forgot to mention this, but it's exactly what I'm doing in Tomotroid for the settings and theme loading.
