desktop_state

Initial state defaults for the desktop shell UI. A single factory function — createInitialState() — returns a fresh state table with every field set to its default. Stateless, no engine calls.

Exports

• M.createInitialState() -> DesktopShellState — build a fresh desktop shell state table; every call returns an independent copy.

Types:

• DesktopShellState = { selected_shortcut, start_menu_open, context_menu_kind?, context_target, context_x, context_y, my_computer_open, my_computer_minimized, my_computer_maximized, browser_open, browser_minimized, browser_maximized, text_editor_open, text_editor_minimized, text_editor_maximized, browser_url, browser_input, fs_path, fs_selected, status_text, clock_text, system_tools_open }

Usage

local DesktopState = require("@builtin::modules.desktop_state")

local state = DesktopState.createInitialState()
state.start_menu_open = true

Notes

• The returned table is the authoritative state for one desktop session. Mutations are direct; pass it to desktop_router.registerHandlers as deps.state to wire callbacks into the same table.
• createInitialState always returns a fresh table — call once at mount time, not every frame.
