[Sugar-devel] Native GTK activities with Javascript?

[Sebastian Silva]

Thanks for your answer, but it is not what I meant.

If look at the link I provided, you'll see that it is now possible to
write Gtk3 apps in Javascript.

For instance, the following is a simple Hello World in Javascript:

#!/usr/bin/gjs

const Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk;
Gtk.init(null);

let win = new Gtk.Window();
win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit);
win.show_all();
Gtk.main();

Looks a lot like Python! But it's Javascript. I think this is pretty cool.

Here's a tutorial:
http://gjs-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

And here's the API docs:
http://devdocs.baznga.org/ (this is where we should aim to put
sugar-toolkit-gtk)

From my research yesterday it would appear we would need to find a way
to generate a GIR file but I don't know how it all couples together.

This is what I was asking if somebody knew.

Hope I was more clear in my question now.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sebastian
