Property and FileContent

Tuner.Property

Binds a widget to a GObject property of any named object in the same blueprint file. Useful for linking widgets to each other without any settings backend.

Property	Type	Description
object	Object	The object to bind to
name	string	Property name on the object

Tuner.Group {

    Tuner.Switch dark_switch {
        title: _("Dark mode");

        binding: Tuner.Setting {
            schema-id: "org.example.app";
            schema-key: "dark";
        };
    }

    Tuner.Entry {
        title: _("Mirrors the switch title");

        binding: Tuner.Property {
            object: dark_switch;
            name: "title";
        };
    }
}

Unlike Tuner.Setting, this binding never shows a reset button.

WARNING

Native rows are built once, so writing to another Tuner widget's property does not update its already created row. Tuner.Property is most useful with your own objects exposed from plugin code.

Tuner.FileContent

The value is the whole content of a file. The path may start with ~.

Property	Type	Description
path	string	Path to the file

Tuner.Entry {
    title: _("Note");

    binding: Tuner.FileContent {
        path: "~/note.txt";
    };
}

See Examples for a walkthrough and for writing your own binding.
