NodeGTK

This project is not maintained and very out of date. It was a fun experiment but has not been updated in years. It likely does not compile against current versions of node. There are a few other projects attempting to do the same thing, including https://github.com/jamrizzi/node-gtk3. Go look at those projects instead.

Node.js bindings for GTK 2.6.

Using NodeGTK, you can create fully functional GUI applications in Node.js.

Awesome advantages over C++ etc.

Well, you are using JavaScript, which is pretty sweet. It allows you to do things like

var button = gtk.button_new("Click me!")
gtk.signal_connect(button, 'click', function() {
	console.log("Clicked the button");
});

var window = gtk.window_new(gtk.WINDOW_TYPE);
gtk.window_set_title(window, "Welcome to NodeGTK");
gtk.container_add(window, button);
gtk.widget_show_all(window);

Anonymous function signal callbacks. Life has never been sweeter.

Todo

Quite a bit. This is an initial work in progress release. Many things work, but many things are yet to be implemented.

• Implement all GTK classes
• Implement all GTK signals
• Create an object oriented set up:

  var button = new gtk.Button({label: "Click me!"});
  button.signalConnect('click', function() {
     console.log("Clicked the button");
  });

  var window = new gtk.Window({type: gtk.WINDOW_TYPE});
  window.set('title', 'Welcome to NodeGTK');
  window.add(button);
  window.showAll();
