`LiteFX::IBackend`¶

The base class for an app backend.

Synopsis¶

Declared in <litefx/app.hpp>

class [[dllexport, dllimport]] IBackend;

Description¶

An App can have one or more backends configured per BackendType. However, only one backend of a specific backend type can be active at a time. Backends can be configured with a startup and shutdown callback. Starting a backend will automatically shutdown the active backend of the same type, if any. If the app exits, all backends are shutdown accordingly, allowing to properly cleanup any resources.
