These are properties that Astal additionally adds to Gtk.Widgets
-- className: `string` - List of class CSS selectors separated by white space.
-- css: `string` - Inline CSS. e.g `label { color: white; }`. If no selector is specified `*` will be assumed. e.g `color: white;` will be inferred as `* { color: white; }`.
-- cursor: `string` - Cursor style when hovering over widgets that have hover states, e.g it won't work on labels. [list of valid values](https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3/ctor.Cursor.new_from_name.html).
-- clickThrough: `boolean` - Lets click events through.

## Gtk4
-🚧 Work in Progress 🚧
+The Gtk4 js library does not add any additional properties to the widgets,
+but it still has some additional properties that the constructors handle.
+
+- `type`: `string` an arbitrary string that the [Buildable](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/iface.Buildable.html) interface uses.
+- event handlers for [EventControllers](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.EventController.html)
+ ```ts
+ type EventController<Self extends Gtk.Widget> = {
+ onFocusEnter?: (self: Self) => void
+ onFocusLeave?: (self: Self) => void
+
+ onKeyPressed?: (self: Self, keyval: number, keycode: number, state: Gdk.ModifierType) => void
+ onKeyReleased?: (self: Self, keyval: number, keycode: number, state: Gdk.ModifierType) => void
+ onKeyModifier?: (self: Self, state: Gdk.ModifierType) => void
+
+ onLegacy?: (self: Self, event: Gdk.Event) => void
+ onButtonPressed?: (self: Self, state: Gdk.ButtonEvent) => void
+ onButtonReleased?: (self: Self, state: Gdk.ButtonEvent) => void
+
+ onHoverEnter?: (self: Self, x: number, y: number) => void
+ onHoverLeave?: (self: Self) => void
+ onMotion?: (self: Self, x: number, y: number) => void
+
+ onScroll?: (self: Self, dx: number, dy: number) => void
+ onScrollDecelerate?: (self: Self, vel_x: number, vel_y: number) => void
+ }
+ ```
+
+- `setup`: `(self): void` setup function that runs after constructor
+ ```tsx
+ // without `setup`
+ function MyWidget() {
+ const button = Widget.Button()
+ // setup button
+ return button
+ }
+
+ // using `setup`
+ function MyWidget() {
+ function setup(button: Widget.Button) {
+ // setup button
+ }
+
+ return <buttons setup={setup} />
+ }
+ ```
+
+There is also a `hook` utility
+
+```tsx
+// without `hook`
+function MyWidget() {
+ const id = gobject.connect("signal", callback)
+ const unsub = variable.subscribe(callback)
+
+ return <box
+ onDestroy={() => {
+ gobject.disconnect(id)
+ unsub()
+ }}
+ />
+}
+
+// with `hook`
+function MyWidget() {
+ return <box
+ setup={(self) => {
+ self.hook(gobject, "signal", callback)
+ self.hook(variable, callback)
+ }}
+ />
+}
+```
+
+### How to use non builtin Gtk widgets
+
+Using the `astalify` function you can create wrappers around widget constructors
+to make them behave like builtin widgets.
+The `astalify` function will do the followings:
+
+- make `gobject` properties accept and consume `Binding` objects
+- handle properties listed above
+- set up signal handlers that are passed as props prefixed with `on`
+
+```tsx
+import GObject from "gi://GObject"
+import { Gtk, astalify, type ConstructProps } from "astal/gtk4"
+
+type CalendarProps = ConstructProps<Gtk.Calendar, Gtk.Calendar.ConstructorProps>
+const Calendar = astalify<Gtk.Calendar, Gtk.Calendar.ConstructorProps>(Gtk.Calendar, {
+ // if it is a container widget, define children setter and getter here
+ getChildren(self) { return [] },
+ setChildren(self, children) {},
+})
+
+function MyWidget() {
+ function setup(button: Gtk.Calendar) {
+
+ }
+
+ return <Calendar
+ setup={setup}
+ onDaySelected={(self) => {
+ print(self.day)
+ }}
+ />
+}
+```
