Simple Working Example
What this chapter will cover?
In this chapter we are going to look at a working code snippet example to demonstrate what slodonix is capable of. Then we are going to discuss how it works under the hood. We will break down the explanations into different chapters to fully understand what is going on. Let's dive in!
Working Example
this code can be found at: slodon/slodon/slodonix/examples/windows/example_1.py
import slodon.slodonix as slodonix
class MyApp(slodonix.DisplayAsParent):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
def body(self):
self.move_to(10, 0)
def trigger_mouse(self, event):
print("Moving")
MyApp().run()
As you can see this code is very simple, it is a class that inherits from slodonix.DisplayAsParent and overrides the body and trigger_mouse methods. In the body method all we are doing is calling self.move_to(10,0) and giving in the positons, to run our app let's call Myapp().run(). Note that this is a really simple example just to see how slodonix works, you can do much more complicated actions which we are going to cover later but for now if you run the code this is what you are going to get as a result:
In this example we are seeing the Moving printed out which is because the trigger_mouse method was called under the hood, you also see that our mouse has moved to the position 10, 0. Now let's break down what is going on in this code.
What will the next chapter cover?
In the next chapter we are going to take a look at the structure of slodonix. We are going to take a look at the different files that are associated with it and discuss what they are for. Hopefully you now see how easy it is to try out slodonix.
