Libui

Perl6 binding to andlabs/libui

andlabs/libui is currently alpha software. This binding works with the current release, 0.4.1. It does not have full functionality, and is subject to change as andlabs/libui changes underneath it. The raw bindings accessible in Libui::Raw should be feature-complete, but only some widgets have an object-oriented implementation.

Cross-platform: Windows, Mac, Linux

This library provides an object-oriented interface to libui. Shared libraries ui.dll, libui.dylib, and libui.so are provided in resources.

Windows Windows requires a 64-bit Visual C++ Redistributable to properly function.

Linux

Linux requires GTK3.

Debian: apt install libgtk-3-0

Basic Use:

use Libui;

Libui::Init;
my Libui::App $app .= new("test");

#This allows the window to be closed
#when the titlebar's close button is clicked
$app.window.closing.tap({$app.exit});

$app.run();
