Installation

Dependencies

If you are using a Linux distribution, install libadwaita-devel or libadwaita (or something similar, based on the package manager) as well as gtk4-devel, gtk4 or similar.

On macOS, follow these steps:

1. Install Homebrew.
2. Install Libadwaita (and thereby GTK 4):

brew install libadwaita

Swift Package

1. Open your Swift package in GNOME Builder, Xcode, or any other IDE.
2. Open the Package.swift file.
3. Into the Package initializer, under dependencies, paste:

.package(url: "https://github.com/david-swift/Libadwaita", from: "0.1.0")   

Usage

You can find an example project here. I encourage you to use Libadwaita indirectly with the declarative Adwaita wrapper.
