Hope

A simple pure C++11 event loop with signals and slots

Notes

This project doesn't aim to become a general purpose library. It was done for fun and scratching my own itch. That said it can be useful for simple command line projects

How it looks?

#include <hope/application.h>
#include <hope/timer.h>

using namespace hope;

class HelloWorldPrinter : public Object {
public:
    void say_hello() {
        std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    Application app;

    HelloWorldPrinter printer;

    Timer timer;
    timer.set_duration(std::chrono::seconds(1));
    timer.triggered().connect(&printer, &HelloWorldPrinter::say_hello);
    timer.triggered().connect(&app, &Application::quit);
    timer.start();

    return app.exec();
}

Building

The project require a working C++11 compiler

mkdir build
cd build 
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Installing

Follow the build steps and simply execute

sudo make install
