Is there any example to write a wayland desktop app?

Weston does have a fairly simple toolkit that it uses for its test
clients, which supports popup menus, but doesn't provide much more
than a window frame, and an abstract widget framework; definitely not
a multiple-document interface. Because I haven't actually used it
myself, or looked very much at its source code, I cannot say whether
this "Toytoolkit" would be a _good_ example for your purposes.

Toytoolkit uses Cairo for rendering, and much of its source code
is spread over the following files.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/blob/main/clients/window.c
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/blob/main/shared/cairo-util.c
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/blob/main/shared/frame.c

Some of the more interesting clients that use this toolkit:
