bare-gtk

GTK 4 for Bare on Linux. It gives you GTK widgets in JavaScript, along with a runtime that starts GTK for you, so a Bare app can have a native Linux window.

npm i bare-gtk

Usage

const { Window, Label, GestureClick } = require('bare-gtk')

const window = new Window()

window.title = 'Hello'
window.defaultSize = [400, 300]

const label = new Label()

label.text = 'Click me'

const click = label.addController(new GestureClick())

let clicks = 0

click.on('pressed', () => {
  label.text = `Clicked ${++clicks} times`
})

window.child = label
window.visible = true

Build the app with bare-build and this runtime. GTK needs an application ID, which --identifier sets:

bare-build --host linux-x64 --runtime bare-gtk/runtime --identifier com.example.Hello index.js

Objects that have events, such as windows, entries and gestures, emit them as ordinary events. GTK is only asked to report an event while something listens to it.
