Rust Adwaita bindings

This library contains safe Rust bindings for Adwaita, a library that offers building blocks for modern GNOME applications.

Example

Adwaita needs to be initialized before use by calling init on startup.

The libadwaita crate is usually renamed to adw. You can do this globally in your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies.adw]
package = "libadwaita"
version = "0.x.y"

use adw::prelude::*;

use adw::{ActionRow, ApplicationWindow, HeaderBar};
use gtk::{Application, Box, ListBox, Orientation};

fn main() {
    let application = Application::builder()
        .application_id("com.example.FirstAdwaitaApp")
        .build();

    application.connect_startup(|_| {
        adw::init();
    });

    application.connect_activate(|app| {
        // ActionRows are only available in Adwaita
        let row = ActionRow::builder()
            .activatable(true)
            .selectable(false)
            .title("Click me")
            .build();
        row.connect_activated(|_| {
            eprintln!("Clicked!");
        });

        let list = ListBox::builder()
            .margin_top(32)
            .margin_end(32)
            .margin_bottom(32)
            .margin_start(32)
            // the content class makes the list look nicer
            .css_classes(vec![String::from("content")])
            .build();
        list.append(&row);

        // Combine the content in a box
        let content = Box::new(Orientation::Vertical, 0);
        // Adwaitas' ApplicationWindow does not include a HeaderBar
        content.append(
            &HeaderBar::builder()
                .title_widget(&adw::WindowTitle::new("First App", ""))
                .build(),
        );
        content.append(&list);

        let window = ApplicationWindow::builder()
            .application(app)
            .default_width(350)
            // add content to window
            .content(&content)
            .build();
        window.show();
    });

    application.run();
}
