# Spec-Brick
[](./LICENSE)
[](https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Spec-Brick/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[Brick](https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Brick) backend for [Spec](https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec).
Brick is a widget library on top of [Bloc](https://github.com/pharo-graphics/Bloc).
Spec is a [Pharo](https://pharo.org/) library for describing user interfaces. You describe a UI by composing the "presenters" and by connecting them via block closures.
More concretely, a Spec UI is a tree of `SpPresenter`, that is opened in the context of an application (`SpApplication`) that, among others, indicates what is the backend.
Our backend (`SpBrickBackend`) provides the adapters (hierarchy of `SpBrickAdapter`) to make the `Brick` widgets to act as the tree of presenters describe.
Other Spec backends are:
- Morphic (the default)
- [GTK](https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec-Gtk)
## Supported Features
:warning:
This backend still **covers a very small part of Spec**: partial coverage of a few widgets. To see the current state, you can check the Example subsection below, the SUnit tests, and the hierarchy of `SpBrickAdapter`.
:warning:
This is supported:
- Widgets:
- Label
- Button
- icon + text
- enabled/disabled
- Tool bar
- Menu bar
- Text and Text input
- enabled/disabled
- Drop list (ugly transition open/closed)
- List and Table
- icon + text
- enabled/disabled
- columns
- header
- selection action (single-click)
- strong-selection action (double-click and enter key)
- context menu (not recursive)
- Window and Dialog
- Layouts
- Box
- Horizontal or vertical
- Margin (borderWidth)
- spacing:
- borderWidth:
- For each child:
- padding
- expand
- Paned: similar to box
## Example
This repository has a demo Spec UI that you can open with the default backend (**Morphic**) using this snippet:
```smalltalk
| aModel aPresenter |
aModel := SpToDoList exampleWithSomeTasks.
aPresenter := SpToDoListPresenter on: aModel.
aPresenter openWithSpec.
```
To open it using this **Brick** backend, specify the backend in an application:
```smalltalk
| app aModel aPresenter |
app := SpApplication new
useBackend: #Brick;
yourself.
aModel := SpToDoList exampleWithSomeTasks.
aPresenter := SpToDoListPresenter newApplication: app model: aModel.
aPresenter openWithSpec.
```

## Installation
Evaluate the following script on [Pharo 9 or 10](https://pharo.org/download):
```smalltalk
Metacello new
baseline: 'SpecBrick';
repository: 'github://pharo-graphics/Spec-Brick/src';
onConflictUseIncoming;
load
```
Alternatively, you can do it by terminal (MacOS, linux... and should work as well in Windows with MINGW64).
Create a directory and execute `/scripts/build.sh`, which first downloads the Pharo image and VM and then loads the project.
