**[Contributors Wanted! (Submit a Glimmer App Sample to Get Started)](CONTRIBUTING.md)**
[Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) DSL for [Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/) enables desktop development with [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) in [Ruby](https://github.com/ruby/ruby).
[Tcl/Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/) has evolved into a practical desktop GUI toolkit due to gaining native looking themed widgets on Mac, Windows, and Linux in [Tk version 8.5](https://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.5.html#:~:text=Highlights%20of%20Tk%208.5&text=Font%20rendering%3A%20Now%20uses%20anti,and%20window%20layout%2C%20and%20more.).
Additionally, [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) 3.0 Ractor (formerly known as [Guilds](https://olivierlacan.com/posts/concurrency-in-ruby-3-with-guilds/)) supports truly parallel multi-threading, making both [MRI](https://github.com/ruby/ruby) and [Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/) finally viable for support in [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) (Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library) as an alternative to [JRuby on SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt).
The trade-off is that while [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) provides a plethora of high quality reusable widgets for the Enterprise (such as [Nebula](https://www.eclipse.org/nebula/)), [Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/) enables very fast app startup time and a small memory footprint via [MRI Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/).
[Glimmer DSL for Tk](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-tk) aims to provide a DSL similar to the [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) to enable more productive desktop development in Ruby with:
- Declarative DSL syntax that visually maps to the GUI widget hierarchy
- Convention over configuration via smart defaults and automation of low-level details
- Requiring the least amount of syntax possible to build GUI
- Bidirectional Data-Binding to declaratively wire and automatically synchronize GUI with Business Models
- Custom Widget support
- Scaffolding for new custom widgets, apps, and gems
- Native-Executable packaging on Mac, Windows, and Linux
**Hello, World!**
Glimmer code (from [samples/hello/hello_world.rb](samples/hello/hello_world.rb)):
```ruby
require 'glimmer-dsl-tk'
include Glimmer
root {
title 'Hello, World!'
label {
text 'Hello, World!'
}
}.open
```
Run with [glimmer-dsl-tk](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-tk) gem installed:
```
ruby -r glimmer-dsl-tk -e "require 'samples/hello/hello_world'"
```

## Pre-requisites
- [Tcl/Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/): Follow the [install instructions](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html)
- [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/): On Windows, obtain from the Ruby [download page](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/). On the Mac and Linux, it is more convenient to just use [RVM](http://rvm.io) and follow the [RVM Tk instructions](https://rvm.io/integration/tk).
For example, on the Mac, you can:
- Install the ActiveTcl Mac package from [ActiveState.com](https://activestate.com)
- Install [RVM](https://rvm.io/) by running `\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable` (and run `curl -sSL https://rvm.io/pkuczynski.asc | gpg --import -` if needed for mentioned security reasons)
- Run: `rvm install 2.7.1 --enable-shared --enable-pthread --with-tk --with-tcl`
- Run: `gem install tk -v0.4.0`
Afterwards, if you open `irb`, you should be able to run `require 'tk'` successfully.
## Setup
### Option 1: Install
Run this command to install directly:
```
gem install glimmer-dsl-tk
```
### Option 2: Bundler
Add the following to `Gemfile`:
```
gem 'glimmer-dsl-tk', '~> 0.0.15'
```
And, then run:
```
bundle
```
## Girb (Glimmer IRB)
You can run the `girb` command (`bin/girb` if you cloned the project locally):
```
girb
```
This gives you `irb` with the `glimmer-dsl-tk` gem loaded and the `Glimmer` module mixed into the main object for easy experimentation with GUI.
## Tk Concepts
Here is a summary taken from the official [Tk Concepts Tutorial](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/concepts.html)
Tk Concepts consist of:
- [Widgets](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/concepts.html#widgets): Widgets are all the things that you see onscreen. In our example, we had a button, an entry, a few labels, and a frame. Others are things like checkboxes, tree views, scrollbars, text areas, and so on. Widgets are what are often referred to as "controls"; you'll also often see them referred to as "windows," particularly in Tk's documentation, a holdover from its X11 roots (so under that terminology, both a toplevel window and things like a button would be called windows).
- [Geometry Management](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/concepts.html#geometry): If you've been playing around creating widgets, you've probably noticed that just by creating them, they didn't end up showing up onscreen. Having things actually put in the onscreen window, and precisely where in the window they show up is a separate step called geometry management.
- [Event Handling](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/concepts.html#events): In Tk, as in most other user interface toolkits, there is an event loop which receives events from the operating system. These are things like button presses, keystrokes, mouse movement, window resizing, and so on.
Learn more at the official [Tk Concepts Tutorial](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/concepts.html)
## Glimmer GUI DSL Concepts
The Glimmer GUI DSL provides a declarative syntax for [Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/) that:
- Supports smart defaults (e.g. grid layout on most widgets)
- Automates wiring of widgets (e.g. nesting a label under a toplevel root or adding a frame to a notebook)
- Hides lower-level details (e.g. main loop is started automatically when opening a window)
- Nests widgets according to their visual hierarchy
- Requires the minimum amount of syntax needed to describe an app's GUI
The Glimmer GUI DSL follows these simple concepts in mapping from Tk syntax:
- **Widget Keyword**: Any Tk widget (e.g. `Tk::Tile::Label`) or toplevel window (e.g. `TkRoot`) may be declared by its lower-case underscored name without the namespace (e.g. `label` or `root`). This is called a keyword and is represented in the Glimmer GUI DSL by a Ruby method behind the scenes.
- **Args**: Any keyword method may optionally take arguments surrounded by parentheses (e.g. a `frame` nested under a `notebook` may receive tab options like `frame(text: 'Users')`, which gets used behind the scenes by Tk code such as `notebook.add tab, text: 'Users'`)
- **Content/Options Block**: Any keyword may optionally be followed by a Ruby curly-brace block containing nested widgets (content) and attributes (options). Attributes are simply Tk option keywords followed by arguments and no block (e.g. `title 'Hello, World!'` under a `root`)
Example of an app written in [Tk](https://www.tcl.tk/) imperative syntax:
```ruby
root = TkRoot.new
root.title = 'Hello, Tab!'
notebook = ::Tk::Tile::Notebook.new(root).grid
tab1 = ::Tk::Tile::Frame.new(notebook).grid
notebook.add tab1, text: 'English'
label1 = ::Tk::Tile::Label.new(tab1).grid
label1.text = 'Hello, World!'
tab2 = ::Tk::Tile::Frame.new(notebook).grid
notebook.add tab2, text: 'French'
label2 = ::Tk::Tile::Label.new(tab2).grid
label2.text = 'Bonjour, Univers!'
root.mainloop
```
Example of the same app written in [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) declarative syntax:
```ruby
root {
title 'Hello, Tab!'
notebook {
frame(text: 'English') {
label {
text 'Hello, World!'
}
}
frame(text: 'French') {
label {
text 'Bonjour, Univers!'
}
}
}
}.open
```
### Supported Widgets
keyword(args) | attributes | listeners / events / bindings / callbacks
------------- | ---------- | ---------
`button` | `text`, `image`, `compound` (`'center', 'top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right'`), `default` (`'active', 'normal'`) | `command`
`entry` | `width`, `text` | None
`frame(text: )` | None | None
`label` | `text` | None
`list` | `selectmode`, `selection` | None
`message_box(type: , message: , detail: , title: , icon: , default: , parent: )` | None | None
`notebook` | None | None
`root` | `title`, `iconphoto` | None
#### Common Attributes
- `grid`
### Smart Defaults and Convensions
#### Grid Layout
`grid` layout is the default on most widgets (which support it).
#### Icon Photo
The `iconphoto` attribute on `root` is set to the Glimmer icon by default if no icon photo is supplied.
Otherwise, [Glimmer DSL for Tk](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-tk) is smart enough to accept an image path directly (no need to wrap with `TkPhotoImage`)
Example with direct image path (you may copy/paste in [`girb`](#girb-glimmer-irb)):
```ruby
root {
title 'Title'
iconphoto 'icons/glimmer.png'
}.open
```
Example with `TkPhotoImage` object (you may copy/paste in [`girb`](#girb-glimmer-irb)):
```ruby
root {
title 'Title'
iconphoto TkPhotoImage.new(file: 'icons/glimmer.png')
}.open
```
## The Grid Geometry Manager
The Grid Geometry Manager is supported via the `grid` keyword just as per the [Tk documentation](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/grid.html), except by nesting under the widget it concerns.
Example:
```ruby
label {
grid column: 0, row: 2, sticky: 'w'
text 'Year of Birth: '
}
entry {
grid column: 1, row: 2
width 15
text <=> [@contact, :year_of_birth]
}
```
More details can be found in the [Hello, Computed!](#hello-computed) sample below.
## Bidirectional Data-Binding
Glimmer supports Shine syntax bidirectional data-binding via the `<=>` operator (read-write) and unidirectional data-binding via the `<=` operator (read-only), which takes a model and an attribute (the `bind` keyword may also be used as the old-style of data-binding).
### General Property Data-Binding
Example:
This assumes a `Person` model with a `country` attribute.
```ruby
label {
text <=> [person, :country]
}
```
That code binds the `textvariable` value of the `label` to the `country` property on the `person` model.
It automatically handles all the Tk plumbing behind the scenes.
More details can be found in the [Hello, Computed!](#hello-computed) sample below.
### Combobox Data-Binding
Example:
This assumes a `Person` model with a `country` attribute representing their current country and a `country_options` attribute representing available options for the country attribute.
```ruby
combobox {
state 'readonly'
text <=> [person, :country]
}
```
That code sets the `values` of the `combobox` to the `country_options` property on the `person` model (data-binding attribute + "_options" by convention).
It also binds the `text` selection of the `combobox` to the `country` property on the `person` model.
It automatically handles all the Tk plumbing behind the scenes, such as using `TkVariable` and setting `combobox` `values` from `person.country_options` by convention (attribute_name + "_options").
More details can be found in the [Hello, Combobox!](#hello-combobox) sample below.
### List Single Selection Data-Binding
Tk does not support a native themed listbox, so Glimmer implements its own `list` widget on top of `Tk::Tile::Treeview`. It is set to single selection via selectmode 'browse'.
Example:
This assumes a `Person` model with a `country` attribute representing their current country and a `country_options` attribute representing available options for the country attribute.
```ruby
list {
selectmode 'browse'
text <=> [person, :country]
}
```
That code binds the `items` text of the `list` to the `country_options` property on the `person` model (data-binding attribute + "_options" by convention).
It also binds the `selection` text of the `list` to the `country` property on the `person` model.
It automatically handles all the Tk plumbing behind the scenes.
More details can be found in the [Hello, List Single Selection!](#hello-list-single-selection) sample below.
### List Multi Selection Data-Binding
Tk does not support a native themed listbox, so Glimmer implements its own `list` widget on top of `Tk::Tile::Treeview`. It is set to multi selection by default.
Example:
This assumes a `Person` model with a `provinces` attribute representing their current country and a `provinces_options` attribute representing available options for the provinces attribute.
```ruby
list {
text <=> [person, :provinces]
}
```
That code binds the `items` text of the `list` to the `provinces_options` property on the `person` model (data-binding attribute + "_options" by convention).
It also binds the `selection` text of the `list` to the `provinces` property on the `person` model.
It automatically handles all the Tk plumbing behind the scenes.
More details can be found in the [Hello, List Multi Selection!](#hello-list-multi-selection) sample below.
### Entry Data-Binding
Example:
This assumes a `Person` model with a `country` attribute.
```ruby
entry {
text <=> [person, :country]
}
```
That code binds the `textvariable` value of the `entry` to the `country` property on the `person` model.
It automatically handles all the Tk plumbing behind the scenes.
More details can be found in the [Hello, Computed!](#hello-computed) sample below.
## Command Observer
Buttons can set a `command` option to trigger when the user clicks the button. This may be done with the `command` keyword, passing in a block directly (no need for `proc` as per Tk)
Example:
```ruby
button {
text "Reset Selection"
command {
person.reset_country
}
}
```
This resets the person country.
More details can be found in the [Hello, Combobox!](#hello-combobox) sample below.
