Custom layout to help layout child widgets using flex layout.

This class is a JS wrapper around custom Qt layout implemented using Yoga

A FlexLayout can be used to layout all child NodeGui widgets using flex.

Example

const { FlexLayout, QWidget, QLabel } = require("@nodegui/nodegui");

const view = new QWidget();
const layout = new FlexLayout();
view.setLayout(layout);

const label = new QLabel();
label.setText("label1");
const label2 = new QLabel();
label2.setText("label2");

layout.addWidget(label);
layout.addWidget(label2);

---

Optional nodeParent

• nodeParent? : Component

Inherited from Component.nodeParent

---

type

• type: string = "layout"

Inherited from NodeLayout.type

Methods

activate

▸ activate(): boolean

Inherited from NodeLayout.activate

Returns: boolean

---

addEventListener

▸ addEventListener<SignalType>(signalType: SignalType, callback: Signals[SignalType]): void

Inherited from EventWidget.addEventListener

Type parameters:

▪ SignalType: keyof FlexLayoutSignals

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
signalType	SignalType	SignalType is a signal from the widgets signals interface.
callback	Signals[SignalType]	Corresponding callback for the signal as mentioned in the widget's signal interface

Returns: void

void

For example in the case of QPushButton:

const button = new QPushButton();
button.addEventListener('clicked',(checked)=>console.log("clicked"));
// here clicked is a value from QPushButtonSignals interface
