zig-clay

This is my take on zig bindings for clay, inspired by https://codeberg.org/Zettexe/clay-zig.

The goal is to be as zig-idiomatic as possible, while being as close as possible to the original clay syntax and naming.

In general, all symbols that are originally prefixed with Clay_ are translated to clay..

All symbols prefixed with clay. are optimized for zig-idiomaticity, but may not all be bit-compatible with their C counter parts. Most notably, clay.RenderCommand and clay.String. In such cases, the bit-incompatible type will have a asSlice() (for clay.String and clay.RenderCommandArray) or a toZig() (for clay.RenderCommand, clay.ScrollContainerData, and clay.ElementData) helper method for converting to the zig-optimized variants, and a fromSlice() or a fromZig() helper method for converting to the c-compatible variants.

Using zig-clay in your own project

Run this command from your project folder

zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/ssttevee/zig-clay.git#{optional commit hash to pin version}

Then add this snippet to your build.zig file

const clay = b.dependency("clay", .{
    .optimize = optimize,
    .target = target,
});

exe.root_module.addImport("clay", clay.module("clay"));

Examples

Examples can be found in the examples folder.

Renderers

Currently, only the raylib renderer bindings are available because it's the only library with a strong zig bindings package. If bindings for cairo or SDL become available, I'd be more than happy to add them.
