Getting Started

GUIBuilder is a simple to use yet powerful GUI Builder, an interface over AceGUI.

The absolute minimal usage would look like this:

local Tinkr = ...
local GUIBuilder = Tinkr.Util.GUIBuilder
 
-- Create a new instance of GUIBuilder.
local Builder = GUIBuilder:New {
    -- This is the name of your configs .json file, all settings will be stored in
    -- this file. GUIBuilder will manage this file, just make sure the name is
    -- unique enough that no other GUIs will share the same name.
    config = "example_empty" -- would be `configs/example_empty.json`
}
 
-- Create a Window element, with no content.
local Window = Builder:Window {
    key = "example_window",
    title = "Empty Window",
    width = 250,
    height = 350,
    content = { }
}
 
-- Build the GUI element, this shows the window.
Builder:Build(Window)
