# [zglfw](https://github.com/zig-gamedev/zglfw)
Zig build package and bindings for [GLFW 3.4](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/tag/3.4)
## Getting started
Example `build.zig`:
```zig
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{ ... });
const zglfw = b.dependency("zglfw", .{});
exe.root_module.addImport("zglfw", zglfw.module("root"));
if (target.result.os.tag != .emscripten) {
exe.linkLibrary(zglfw.artifact("glfw"));
}
}
```
Now in your code you may import and use `zglfw`:
```zig
const glfw = @import("zglfw");
pub fn main() !void {
try glfw.init();
defer glfw.terminate();
const window = try glfw.createWindow(600, 600, "zig-gamedev: minimal_glfw_gl", null);
defer glfw.destroyWindow(window);
// or, using the equivilent, encapsulated, "objecty" API:
const window = try glfw.Window.create(600, 600, "zig-gamedev: minimal_glfw_gl", null);
defer window.destroy();
// setup your graphics context here
while (!window.shouldClose()) {
glfw.pollEvents();
// render your things here
window.swapBuffers();
}
}
```
