Media and embed surfaces
This family covers the parts of the widget surface that connect the shared layout and state model to richer visual or host-backed content.
Some of these widgets are ordinary display widgets with a media flavor, such as images. Others, such as video, web views, and terminal surfaces, represent deeper runtime or host integration boundaries.
Media and embed widgets
Widget | Dedicated page | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
Image | Asset, file, memory, SVG, or network image content inside normal layout | |
Video | Video playback surface tied to runtime registration | |
WebView | Embedded browser content surface | |
TerminalView | Interactive terminal surface inside the app | |
TerminalLaunchConfig | Supporting type for terminal startup configuration | |
TerminalSession | Supporting handle for a live terminal session |
How to choose within this family
Use Image when the content is still ordinary image display. It supports typed asset, file, network, memory, and SVG sources, and it participates in layout like any other widget.
Move to Video, WebView, or TerminalView when the surface needs runtime registration or host-backed behavior.
