Builder pattern uses Vec<String>

[bilelmoussaoui]

The builder pattern uses Vec<String> instead of something a bit nicer to use like &[&str], it could even use T: AsRef<str>; &[T] & then take ownership of the strings inside the builder method.

Hi @bilelmoussaoui, I'm an Outreachy applicant and I'd like to be assigned this issue

[bilelmoussaoui]

Hi @Rakielle, please go ahead :) let me know if you need help figuring this one out.

Thank you @bilelmoussaoui, I was having an issue joining the Matrix chat. I sent you a mail about it.
Could you please check?

[bilelmoussaoui]

Oh sorry, I missed that one. I think you were trying to create an account on the GNOME matrix server which is only open to GNOME contributors/developers (that have a @gnome email address). You can create an account on the main matrix homeserver and join the room just fine

Thanks @bilelmoussaoui, I've been able to join the room :)

@bilelmoussaoui I was using the gir book in the repository to learn how gir works but I got stuck at the Generate the FFI library tutorial. The tutorial uses the GtkSource-3.0.gir file which isn't present in the https://github.com/gtk-rs/gir-files repo. I tried using Gtk-3.0.gir file which did not work as I keep getting lots of errors.

You can grab it from an older version of gir-files, like in https://github.com/gtk-rs/gir-files/tree/8a626fde7528ebb62a4d7902f201e483ca2ae05b

@bilelmoussaoui Thank you for the link, I was able to extract the GtkSource-30.gir file from it. I'm till having issues generating an FFI library for the GtkSource-3.0.gir file though, I keep running into several errors.

Is there a recent documentation that could help me get setup? I'm currently using https://gtk-rs.org/gir/book/tutorial/sys_library.html

Hi @bilelmoussaoui, in what files can I find the builder patterns?

[bilelmoussaoui]

This got fixed recently and we are using impl Into<glib::StrV>
