Text Component

Part of the Object Oriented Programming section of Coddy's Rust journey — lesson 50 of 61.

Challenge

Easy

Building on the Draw trait you created in the previous lesson, let's add our first real UI component: a TextField. This component will represent a text display element in our document system.

You'll expand your project with a new module file:

draw.rs: Keep your Draw trait from the previous challenge.
text_field.rs: Create a TextField struct with a public content field (a String). Implement the Draw trait for TextField so that calling draw() prints the text in a specific format: Text: {content}
main.rs: Bring in both modules and create a TextField instance. Call its draw() method to render the component.

Remember that your text_field module needs to use the Draw trait from the draw module. You can access it with crate::draw::Draw since both modules are part of the same crate.

The following input will be provided:

A string representing the text field's content

Your output should follow this exact format:

Text: Hello World

Try it yourself

mod draw;
mod text_field;

use draw::Draw;

pub struct Label {
    pub text: String,
}

impl Draw for Label {
    fn draw(&self) {
        println!("{}", self.text);
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut input = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).expect("Failed to read line");
    let content = input.trim().to_string();

    // TODO: Create a TextField instance and call draw() on it
}
