Adwaita for Swift
_Adwaita_ is a framework for creating user interfaces for GNOME with an API similar to SwiftUI.
The following code:
```swift
struct Counter: View {
@State private var count = 0
var view: Body {
HStack {
Button(icon: .default(icon: .goPrevious)) {
count -= 1
}
Text("\(count)")
.title1()
.frame(minWidth: 100)
Button(icon: .default(icon: .goNext)) {
count += 1
}
}
}
}
```
Describes a simple counter view:

More examples are available in the [demo app][1].

## Goals
_Adwaita_’s main goal is to provide an easy-to-use interface for creating GNOME apps. The backend should stay as simple as possible, while not limiting the possibilities there are with [Libadwaita][7] and [GTK][8].
If you want to use _Adwaita_ in a project, but there are widgets missing, open an [issue on GitHub][9].
Find more information about the project's motivation in [this blog post](https://www.swift.org/blog/adwaita-swift/).
## Installation
### Dependencies
#### Flatpak
It is recommended to develop apps inside of a Flatpak.
That way, you don't have to install Swift or any of the dependencies on your system, and you always have access to the latest versions.
Take a look at the [template repository](https://github.com/AparokshaUI/AdwaitaTemplate).
This works on Linux only.
#### Directly on System
You can also run your apps directly on the system.
If you are using a Linux distribution, install `libadwaita-devel` or `libadwaita` (or something similar, based on the package manager) as well as `gtk4-devel`, `gtk4` or similar.
On macOS, follow these steps:
1. Install [Homebrew][11].
2. Install Libadwaita (and thereby GTK 4):
```
brew install libadwaita
```
### Swift Package
1. Open your Swift package in GNOME Builder, Xcode, or any other IDE.
2. Open the `Package.swift` file.
3. Into the `Package` initializer, under `dependencies`, paste:
```swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/AparokshaUI/Adwaita", from: "0.1.0")
```
## Usage
I recommend using the [template repository](https://github.com/AparokshaUI/AdwaitaTemplate) as a starting point.
Follow the [interactive tutorial](https://aparokshaui.github.io/adwaita-swift/tutorials/table-of-contents) or [read the docs](https://aparokshaui.github.io/adwaita-swift/documentation/adwaita) in order to get to know _Adwaita for Swift_.
