Platform

The Platform namespace contains properties that help deal with platform specific differences.

Properties

os

enum OperatingSystemType (out) default: known at runtime

This property holds the type of the operating system detected at run-time.

Note

When running in a web browser, the value of this property is computed at run-time by querying the web browser’s navigator properties.

Note

When Slint is ported to new operating systems in the future, new enum values will be added.

style-name

string (out) default: known at runtime

The name of the currently selected widget style. Some widget styles have dark and light variant suffixes, such as fluent-light. This property contains the style name without the suffix. Use Palette‘s color-scheme to determine the currently used scheme.

Functions

open-url(url: string) -> bool

Opens the specified URL in an external browser. This function invokes the platform’s URL opening mechanism. Returns true on success, or false if the platform doesn’t support opening URLs or the operation failed.
