GuindillaGUI

Description

Libray for creating browser-based GUIs in Ruby

This library is still in a bare-bones wicked-alpha state, and is subject to fires, floods, and radical changes!
Tested on Linux (Arch 5.15.x-lts) with Ruby 3.0.x

Installation

Should be as easy as: gem install guindilla_gui

Usage

Chrome and Chromium browsers won't work with GuindillaGui yet - sorry!

Try setting your default browser to Firefox for now, better solutions are on the way!

Take a look at the wiki and the examples. Basic usage goes something like this:

require 'guindilla_gui'
include GuindillaGUI

# your regular old ruby logic goes here #

Guindilla.new do

    # your nifty GuindillaGUI methods go here #

end

Normally Guindilla will be the only class you need to explicitly instantiate. Other classes are instantiated by methods called inside the Guindilla block, e.g.:

image('my_image.jpg')
button("push me") do
  ...
end

Here's a look at demo1.rb from the examples for a better idea of how this all works...

require 'guindilla_gui'
include GuindillaGUI

images = []
(2..6).each do |n|
  images << "http://poignant.guide/images/chapter.poignant.guide-#{n}.jpg"
end

def rand_color
  "rgb(#{rand(200)}, #{rand(200)}, #{rand(200)})"
end


Guindilla.new do
  font_family('sans')
  text_align('center')
  align('center')

  banner = heading("GuindillaGUI",
    width: '90%',
    border_radius: '10px',
    background: 'crimson',
    color: 'white'
  )
  banner.transition('background', 1, "ease-out")

  pic = image('http://poignant.guide/images/chapter.poignant.guide-2.jpg')
  pic.transition("rotate", 1)

  button("go ahead, push me.", width: '40%', margin: '20px') do
    banner.background = rand_color
    pic.source = images[rand(5)]
    pic.rotate(360)
  end

end
