description	Context management in GPUI including App, Window, and AsyncApp. Use when working with contexts, entity updates, or window operations. Different context types provide different capabilities for UI rendering, entity management, and async operations.

Overview

GPUI uses different context types for different scenarios:

Context Types:

• App: Global app state, entity creation
• Window: Window-specific operations, painting, layout
• Context<T>: Entity-specific context for component T
• AsyncApp: Async context for foreground tasks
• AsyncWindowContext: Async context with window access

Quick Start

Context - Component Context

impl MyComponent {
    fn update_state(&mut self, cx: &mut Context<Self>) {
        self.value = 42;
        cx.notify(); // Trigger re-render

        // Spawn async task
        cx.spawn(async move |cx| {
            // Async work
        }).();

        
          = cx.();
    }
}
