# zgtk3

zgtk3 is a library currently in development that aims to implement GTK3 for the Zig programming language. This project will enable developers to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Zig.

## Features

- Build applications from templates as zig structures using `buildInterface()`

- Run command-line commands more simply using `executeCommand()`

## Installation

See in releases of project.

## Usage

Once completed, zgtk3 will allow for creating windows and other GUI elements in Zig. Here is a simple example of what the usage might look like:

```zig

const gtk = @import("zgtk3");

const buildInterface = gtk.buildInterface;

const c = gtk.c;

pub fn main() !u8 {

    c.gtk_init(0, null);

    _ = buildInterface(@import("ui.zig").template);

    c.gtk_main();

    return 0;

}

```

ui.zig

```zig

const c = @import("gtk").c;

pub const template = .{

    .class = "window",

    .args = .{c.GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL},

    .@"window:title" = "Hello World!",

    .@"window:default_size" = .{ 400, 600 },

    .@"widget:visible" = 1,

    .children = .{.{

        .class = "button",

        .@"widget:visible" = 1,

        .@"button:label" = "Test",

    }},

};

```

## Documentation

Comprehensive documentation will be available once the project is further along in development.

## Example

Just run

``` zig build example ```
