#Anatomy
Import the component's parts and compose them under its root:
use base_gpui::meter::{
MeterIndicator,
MeterLabel,
MeterRoot,
MeterTrack,
MeterValue,
};
MeterRoot::new()
.child(
MeterLabel::new(),
)
.child(
MeterTrack::new()
.child(
MeterIndicator::new(),
),
)
.child(
MeterValue::new(),
);
The anatomy is a structural overview. Parts with mutually exclusive modes may need separate instances; each part's section below documents its configuration.
#MeterRoot
Coordinates the component's state and supplies context to its child parts.
use base_gpui::meter::MeterRoot;
MeterRoot::new()
.id("example-id")
.value(0.0)
.min(0.0)
.max(0.0)
.format(0.0)
.aria_label("label")
.style_with_state(|/* callback arguments */| { /* handle change */ });
#Builders
| Builder | Signature & description |
|---|---|
.new | pub fn new() -> SelfCreates a MeterRoot with its default configuration. |
.id | pub fn id(mut self, id: impl Into<ElementId>) -> Self
Sets the stable GPUI element identity. Use a unique value when multiple instances can appear in the same view. |
.child | pub fn child(mut self, child: impl Into<MeterChild>) -> Self
Adds one typed child to this part. |
.children | pub fn children(mut self, children: impl IntoIterator<Item = impl Into<MeterChild>>) -> Self
Adds multiple typed children in iteration order. |
.child_any | pub fn child_any(mut self, child: impl IntoElement) -> Self
Adds one arbitrary renderable child to this part. |
.value | pub fn value(mut self, value: f64) -> Self
The current value of the meter (Base UI's required |
.min | pub fn min(mut self, min: f64) -> Self

.aria_label | pub fn aria_label(mut self, label: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self
Accessible label for the meter; the literal-string replacement for Base UI's |
.style_with_state | pub fn style_with_state(mut self, style: impl Fn(MeterStyleState, Div) -> Div + 'static,) -> Self
Styles the part from its current behavioral state while preserving separation between behavior and visual design. MeterRoot also supports the GPUI traits implemented in its source, such as standard styling or child composition. |
#MeterIndicator
Visual representation of the component's current state or value.
use base_gpui::meter::MeterIndicator;
MeterIndicator::new()
.with_meter_context(/* context: MeterContext */)
.id("example-id")
.style_with_state(|/* callback arguments */| { /* handle change */ });

.id | pub fn id(mut self, id: impl Into<ElementId>) -> Self
Sets the stable GPUI element identity. Use a unique value when multiple instances can appear in the same view. |
.style_with_state | pub fn style_with_state(mut self, style: impl Fn(MeterStyleState, Div) -> Div + 'static,) -> Self
Styles the part from its current behavioral state while preserving separation between behavior and visual design. MeterIndicator also supports the GPUI traits implemented in its source, such as standard styling or child composition. |
#MeterLabel
Provides a visible label and associated accessibility semantics.
use base_gpui::meter::MeterLabel;
MeterLabel::new()
.with_meter_context(/* context: MeterContext */)
.id("example-id")
.text(/* text: impl Into<SharedString> */)
.style_with_state(|/* callback arguments */| { /* handle change */ });

.child | pub fn child(mut self, child: impl IntoElement) -> Self
Adds one typed child to this part. |
.text | pub fn text(mut self, text: impl Into<SharedString>) -> Self
Visible label text, kept out of the a11y tree so it is not announced twice — the same string should be passed to |
.style_with_state | pub fn style_with_state(mut self, style: impl Fn(MeterStyleState, Div) -> Div + 'static,) -> Self
Styles the part from its current behavioral state while preserving separation between behavior and visual design. MeterLabel also supports the GPUI traits implemented in its source, such as standard styling or child composition. |

#Accessibility
Keyboard interaction and accessibility semantics are implemented by the component, independently of visual styling. Known limitations caused by missing GPUI accessibility primitives are documented in the module source and are not silently approximated.
#Stability
Base GPUI is pre-1.0. Builder names and state types may evolve as GPUI and this port mature.
