Attempting to find the Javascript Code behind St.BoxLayout.add

Xliff · August 17, 2022, 5:04am

I’m trying to find the javascript implementation of the St.BoxLayout.add method as illustrated on lines 23 and 24, here:

github.com

GNOME/gnome-shell/blob/main/tests/interactive/icons.js

// -*- mode: js; js-indent-level: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil -*-

const UI = imports.testcommon.ui;

const { Clutter, St } = imports.gi;

function test() {
    let stage = new Clutter.Stage();
    UI.init(stage);

    let b = new St.BoxLayout({ vertical: true,
                               width: stage.width,
                               height: stage.height });
    stage.add_actor(b);

    function addTest(label, icon_props) {
        if (b.get_children().length > 0)
            b.add (new St.BoxLayout({ style: 'background: #cccccc; border: 10px transparent white; height: 1px; ' }));

        let hb = new St.BoxLayout({ vertical: false,

I am trying to create my own language bindings for Raku in the style of the JS bindings shown in the link above, but for the life of me, I can’t find the .add method anywhere.

Of particular interest is this form of .add:

hb.add(new St.Label({ text: label }), { y_fill: false });

Where the second parameter looks to refer to the setting of the property y_fill. Are these supposed to be child properties of the BoxLayout? If so, where can I find a full list of these properties so that I can account for them in my code?

Thanks
