What is this?

Fabric is a python widgets thing framework made for *Nix based systems (Wayland and X11), using GTK+

Fabric aims to provide you high-level and signal-based flow, neither polling nor bash scripting is required to do basic stuff, old men!

Also Fabric is configured in python which make's it easier than ever!

Note

Please note that Fabric is still a work in progress, also the API is a subject to change.

key features

1. Simple yet Powerful

   asking how simple actually it is?

   - head over to examples

2. X11 and Wayland ready!

3. All python modules are accessible to you!

4. Code auto-completions ready!, see the stubs guide for more info: TBD

5. Less resource usage

   since everything can be written within the widget code this will no longer require you using external scripts, this will decreasethis widget resource usage

How to Install?

it's really simple to get fabric working, you just...

1. install python

   Fabric requires python version 3.11 or higher

   for arch linux you do pacman -S python to get the latest version of python

2. get Cairo, GTK, GObject introspection and other dependency's

   this step does depend on your system, this command will work for arch linux to install the dependency's using pacman

   sudo pacman -S gtk3 cairo gtk-layer-shell libgirepository gobject-introspection gobject-introspection-runtime python python-pip python-gobject python-cairo python-loguru pkgconf

   if you're not on Arch, you will have to figure out yourself what is the package names for your distro

3. install fabric

   Fabric is available under the arch user repository with the name python-fabric-git

   you also can install fabric globally using pip install git+https://github.com/Fabric-Development/fabric.git although we don't prefer this way because it might cause dependency issues, it's better to use a virtual environment, to get fabric in a virtual environment you'll have to do the following

   make a new folder for your new project

   mkdir <your-folder-name>

   change the current directory to this new folder

   cd <your-folder-name>

   create a new virtual environment, this command will create a virtual environment with the name venv

   python -m venv venv

   source the newly created virtual environment

   source venv/bin/activate

   now you can install packages, we can install fabric now...

   pip install git+https://github.com/Fabric-Development/fabric.git

   fabric is now installed!, later you can install whatever package you want.
