How to create a GString from a String?

Question

I am using Rust with GLib and need to create a GString. How do I do that?

fn example() -> GString {
    let hello = "Hello";
    // How do I return hello as a GString?
}

Use the documented function glib::GString::from_string_unchecked:

GString::from_string_unchecked("Hello".into())

Or use glib::gstr to create a &'static GStr instead and turn it into something owned:

let hello = glib::gstr!("Hello");
hello.to_owned()
