​
Overview

The jarvis-tiling crate provides tiling window management for Jarvis. It handles creating, organizing, and navigating between panes (terminals, webviews, assistant panels, etc.).

​
Public API

​
TilingManager

The main manager for all panes and layout operations. 
use jarvis_tiling::TilingManager;

let mut manager = TilingManager::new();

​
Pane

Represents a single pane in the layout.

​
Pane Types

​
Pane
struct
A pane is a rectangular region that can contain different types of content.

​
Constructor Methods

use jarvis_tiling::Pane;
use jarvis_common::types::PaneId;

let pane_id = PaneId::new();

// Create different types of panes
let terminal = Pane::new_terminal(pane_id, "bash");
let webview = Pane::new_webview(pane_id, "Documentation");
let assistant = Pane::new_assistant(pane_id, "AI Assistant");
let chat = Pane::new_chat(pane_id, "Livechat");
let external = Pane::new_external(pane_id, "VS Code");
​
new_terminal
fn(PaneId, impl Into<String>) -> Pane
Create a new terminal pane.
​
new_webview
fn(PaneId, impl Into<String>) -> Pane
Create a new webview pane for embedded web content.
​
new_assistant
fn(PaneId, impl Into<String>) -> Pane
Create a new AI assistant pane.
​
new_chat
fn(PaneId, impl Into<String>) -> Pane
Create a new social/livechat pane.
​
new_external
fn(PaneId, impl Into<String>) -> Pane
Create a pane for an external application.

​
PaneStack

Manages a stack of panes with focus tracking. 
use jarvis_tiling::PaneStack;

let mut stack = PaneStack::new();

​
LayoutEngine

Computes positions and sizes for all panes based on the current layout mode. 
use jarvis_tiling::LayoutEngine;

let engine = LayoutEngine::new();

​
WindowManager

Platform-specific window management (macOS, Linux, Windows). 
use jarvis_tiling::WindowManager;

// Platform-specific implementation
let window_manager = WindowManager::new();

​
Layout Modes

Jarvis supports multiple tiling layouts:
  • Stack — Single full-screen pane with tabs
  • Vertical Split — Side-by-side panes
  • Horizontal Split — Top-and-bottom panes
  • Grid — 2x2 or 3x3 grid layout

​
Usage Example

use jarvis_tiling::{TilingManager, Pane};
use jarvis_common::types::PaneId;

fn main() {
    let mut manager = TilingManager::new();
    
    // Create a new terminal pane
    let pane_id = PaneId::new();
    let pane = Pane::new_terminal(pane_id, "zsh");
    
    // Add it to the manager
    manager.add_pane(pane);
    
    // Focus the pane
    manager.focus(pane_id);
}
