imguiz

• dear_bindings to use imgui (docking branch) in zig
• currently only SDL3 and Vulkan are supported, but it should be easy to update by modifying the following to add imgui backends
  • @cInclude in ./src/imguiz.zig
  • module.addCSourceFile invocations in ./build.zig

Library

imguiz exposes a module that can be used in your project.

zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/mgerb/imguiz

// build.zig
...
const imguiz = b.dependency("imguiz", .{});
exe.root_module.addImport("imguiz", imguiz.module("imguiz"));
...

// main.zig
const std = @import("std");
const imguiz = @import("imguiz").imguiz;

pub fn main() !void {
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{imguiz.ImGui_GetVersion()});
}

Generator

All bindings are in ./generated. I will update them from the following branches as needed.

• imgui (docking)
• dear_bindings (master)

nix develop # This is optional if you want to manually install dependencies (zig, python>=3.12, python ply package)
zig build run -Dgenerate

The generator does the following

• clones dear_bindings to ./tmp
• clones imgui to ./tmp
• executes ./tmp/dear_bindings/BuildAllBindings.sh
• copies all required C bindings to ./generated, which can be natively included in zig

Example

See a more in depth example using vulkan-zig in ./example.

cd example
nix develop # nix package manager makes this easy: https://nixos.org/download/
zig build run

Note: Only tested on NixOS, but should work on any Linux distro with the nix package manager, or the right dependencies installed (zig, vulkan sdk, vulkan validation layers, sdl3).
