Node Ui

Installation

$ npm i node_ui.build

Getting Started

When you have installed this module than you can start using it.

//I like to import the module like this since it only has 2 functions
const {createElement, createWindow} = require("node_ui.build")
 
//if that presents some difficulties you can import it like this
const nodeUi = require("node_ui.build");
//Note: when you do this you have to call the functions like this:
nodeUi.createElement();

when you have done this you need to create a window object and add elements to it.

//hello world program
const {createElement, createWindow} = require("node_ui.build");
 
//create the window
let win = createWindow(100, 100, "test window"/*, require('./style.json')*/);
 
//add elements to the window
win.addElement(
    //we dont want to use the callback so we set it to null
    createElement('label', null, x=win.width/2, y=win.width/2, heigth=2, width=8, text="Hello world")
);
 
//show the window
win.run();
//or win.run({'resizable': false});
