GLib-2.0 ▶ GLib ▶ MainLoop

constructor

• new MainLoop(context: GLib.MainContext, is_running: boolean): GLib.MainLoop

  Parameters

  • context: GLib.MainContext
  • is_running: boolean

  Returns GLib.MainLoop

Static$gtype

get_context

• get_context(): GLib.MainContext

  Returns the GLib.MainContext of loop.

  Returns GLib.MainContext

  the GLib.MainContext of loop

is_running

• is_running(): boolean

  Checks to see if the main loop is currently being run via GLib.MainLoop.run.

  Returns boolean

  true if the main loop is currently being run, false otherwise

quit

• quit(): void

  Stops a GLib.MainLoop from running. Any calls to GLib.MainLoop.run for the loop will return.

  Note that sources that have already been dispatched when GLib.MainLoop.quit is called will still be executed.

  Returns void

ref

• ref(): GLib.MainLoop

  Increases the reference count on a GLib.MainLoop object by one.

  Returns GLib.MainLoop

  loop

run

• run(): void

  Runs a main loop until GLib.MainLoop.quit is called on the loop.

  If this is called from the thread of the loop’s GLib.MainContext, it will process events from the loop, otherwise it will simply wait.

  Returns void

runAsync

• runAsync(): Promise<void>

  Similar to GLib.MainLoop.run but return a Promise which resolves when the main loop ends, instead of blocking while the main loop runs. This helps avoid the situation where Promises never resolved if you didn't run the main loop inside a callback.

  Returns Promise<void>

unref

• unref(): void

  Decreases the reference count on a GLib.MainLoop object by one.

  If the result is zero, the loop and all associated memory are freed.

  Returns void

Staticnew

• new(context: GLib.MainContext, is_running: boolean): GLib.MainLoop

  Parameters

  • context: GLib.MainContext
  • is_running: boolean

  Returns GLib.MainLoop
