GTK::Simpler #

This module provides a simpler API for GTK::Simple. The idea here is to load GTK::Simple widgets lazily at runtime and type less characters. For example instead of writing the following:

# This is slow since it will load a lot of GTK::Simple widgets by default
use GTK::Simple;

my $app = GTK::Simple::App.new(title => "Hello");

you write the more concise shorter form:

# Exports a bunch of subroutines by default
use GTK::Simpler;

# GTK::Simple::App is loaded and created only here
my $app = app(title => "Hello");

Example#

use v6;
use GTK::Simpler;

my $app = app(title => "Hello GTK!");

$app.set-content(
    vbox(
        my $first-button  = button(label => "Hello World!"),
        my $second-button = button(label => "Goodbye!")
    )
);

$app.border-width        = 20;
$second-button.sensitive = False;

$first-button.clicked.tap({ 
    .sensitive = False; 
    $second-button.sensitive = True 
});

$second-button.clicked.tap({ 
    $app.exit; 
});

$app.run;
