# Generational Box
Generational Box is a runtime for Rust that allows any static type to implement `Copy`. It can be combined with a global runtime to create an ergonomic state solution like `dioxus-signals`. This crate contains no `unsafe` code.
Generational Box is a runtime for Rust that allows any static type to implement `Copy`. It can be combined with a global runtime to create an ergonomic state solution like `dioxus-signals`. This crate doesn't have any `unsafe` code.
Three main types manage state in Generational Box:
- Store: Handles recycling generational boxes that have been dropped. Your application should have one store or one store per thread.
- Owner: Handles dropping generational boxes. The owner acts like a runtime lifetime guard. Any states that you create with an owner will be dropped when that owner is dropped.
- GenerationalBox: The core Copy state type. The generational box will be dropped when the owner is dropped.
- `Store`: Handles recycling generational boxes that have been dropped. Your application should have one store or one store per thread.
- `Owner`: Handles dropping generational boxes. The owner acts like a runtime lifetime guard. Any states that you create with an owner will be dropped when that owner is dropped.
- `GenerationalBox`: The core Copy state type. The generational box will be dropped when the owner is dropped.

## How it works
Internally, `generational-box` creates an arena of generational `RefCell`'s that are recycled when the owner is dropped. You can think of the cells as something like `&'static RefCell<Box<dyn Any>>` with a generational check to make recycling a cell easier to debug. Then GenerationalBox's are `Copy` because the `&'static` pointer is `Copy`
