Interactions

Introduction

In CoshUI, capturing interaction eveents is quite easy. If you want to check whether a Node was clicked? The interaction system helps you with that.

Since it's a pretty simple concept, let's get to how Interactions work in CoshUI.

Signals

Signals make up the entirety of CoshUI's interaction system. Every Node emits a signal if that specific interaction was triggered, users can access those signals using the get_signal() function that CoshUI provides.

Mouse Filter

If every Node emits a signal, what if we want certain Nodes to ignore those interaction events or make it pass-through while still triggering their events and emitting their signals? The mouse_filter property — a Universal Property — that follows Godot, handles all of that.

Data Binding

A little off "interactions", but it's applicable for users who want internal values for certain Nodes like the value of a Slider or whether a Checkbox is checked or not. CoshUI provides that with its Ref system.
