Creating a Desktop application with Ruby, datagrid needed

ruby-talk
1

hey guys,

I´m trying to build a desktop app that can run on Win, Mac and Linux. I
would like to use some grids to present data as I did on ExtJS. I´m new on
Ruby, could you point where to look for some examples to start to code?

Thanks in advance

Are you using persistent data from a database, or just in volatile
memory?
What kind of display are you using? A GUI, console window, etc?

In Ruby the usual way to represent a grid is with a 2D Array or a
Matrix.

Hi,

for GUI you might want to check Shoes: http://shoesrb.com/.
Shoes4 is still in development: https://github.com/shoes/shoes4.
I also like green shoes: https://github.com/ashbb/green_shoes.

regards,
seba

wxWidgets may be of interest- it's a mature cross-platform GUI toolkit. You can probably build an interface that meets your needs.

WxRuby provides Ruby bindings to wxWidgets. I haven't used it myself, but I'd check it out if you're considering using wxWidgets in Ruby.

Thanks Joel,

It would be data obtained from webservices, so REST calls. I would like to
use a grph interface (any) that can be execute in Windoze, mac and Linux.

Could you point to some manual or howto?

JRuby + Eclipse SWT/JFace/RCP has worked well for us.
