andlabs / ui

[Just a mickey-mouse demo I wrote up for the Golang 'Code and Chat' Meetup.]

Find the code, etc. for andlabs/ui at this link.

There is a nice Getting Started page. Be sure to read this, as it is pretty good.

Prerequisites

Golang (Go) installed. Find the Download Go link on the Golang home page.

Installation

1. Verify that you are on a supported platform. It looks like OS/X, linux and Windows are supported.

2. Download the latest version:

   $ go get -u github.com/andlabs/ui
   

3. Dependencies: if the previous command results in something like:

   $ go get -u github.com/andlabs/ui
   # pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0
   Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
   Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
   to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
   No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
   pkg-config: exit status 1
   $
   

   Then install any missing dependencies (lib-gtk-3-dev plus extras in my case).

   Try the installation again (which may require installing more dependencies):

    $ go get -u github.com/andlabs/ui
    $
   

Running

To simply run the example (i.e. no build):

$ go run main.go

Type something in the textbox and press 'Greet' to see what happens.

Close the window to terminate.

Building

To build the example:

$ go build main.go

This should produce a binary: main

To run the binary:

$ ./main

Type something in the textbox and press 'Greet' to see what happens.

Close the window to terminate.

To Do

• Figure what makes a box element stretchy
• Figure out how to get the selected items text from a combobox
