Jaraan

GUI framework for C++. (still in development, PR are welcome!)

Make C++ applications with a simple modern GUI with the least amount of code.

Demo

Made with just this amount of code:

#include "Jaraan/Jaraan.h"

void select(int n , Label lb) {

    switch (n) {

        case 1: lb.setText("¡Hola amigo!"); break;
        case 2: lb.setText("Hello friend!"); break;
        case 3: lb.setText("Hallo freund!"); break;
        case 4: lb.setText("Salve amici!"); break;
    }
}

int main()
{   
    Window window(800, 600, "Jaraan");
    Label label(10, 2, "Select a language", 24);
    Button btn1(1, 1, "Spanish", 12, [label]() {select(1 , label); });
    Button btn2(1, 2, "English", 12, [label]() {select(2, label); });
    Button btn3(1, 3, "Deutsch", 12, [label]() {select(3 , label); });
    Button btn4(1, 4, "Latin", 12, [label]() {select(4 , label); });

    window.Update();

    return 0;
}

How to use:

If using git, clone the repo with

git clone https://github.com/Kuvrot/Jaraan.git

1. Configure and build your project. Most popular IDEs support CMake projects with very little effort on your part.

   • Visual Studio (recommended)
   • VS Code via the CMake extension
   • CLion
   • Qt Creator

   Using CMake from the command line is straightforward as well.

   For a single-configuration generator (typically the case on Linux and macOS):

   cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   cmake --build build
   

   For a multi-configuration generator (typically the case on Windows):

   cmake -S . -B build
   cmake --build build --config Release
   

If using Linux, install SFML's dependencies using your system package manager. On Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions you can use the following commands:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install \
        libxrandr-dev \
        libxcursor-dev \
        libudev-dev \
        libfreetype-dev \
        libopenal-dev \
        libflac-dev \
        libvorbis-dev \
        libgl1-mesa-dev \
        libegl1-mesa-dev

Setup the font

• Download a font
  • Download the Arial font
• After the cmake build is done, go to your Jaraan repo and then go to out > build > x64_Debug > bin and put the arial.ttf file inside the bin folder.
