Deno event loop and gui application

Hi, I am trying to write custom gtk library in deno using 
gtk-rs
 and 
deno_runtime
. I already have initial rendering of components but i am having trouble understanding how to setup event loop for gui application. Currently i am using tokio's 
new_current_thread
 and 
block_on
 on deno's 
execute_main_module
 but this way setTimeouts don't seem to be executed which I suspect is because there is no event loop. 
execute_main_module
 seems to already call 
run_event_loop
 but should i just call it in loop or is there a proper way to do it using tokio? and how does 
event_loop_middleware
 fit into all this?

The other slightly related question is how do i schedule updates from the button clicks if the click listener closure is setup in the 
#[op(v8)]
?

thanks for your help
