Package to construct PySide6 widgets from dataclass

Python package to dynamically create PySide6 widgets from dataclass

Introduction

dataclass2PySide6 is a package which provides widgets and functions to represent dataclass instance as PySide6 GUI.

For example, here is a simple dataclass:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Tuple

@dataclass
class DataClass:
    a: bool
    b: int
    c: Tuple[float, Tuple[bool, int]] = (4.2, (True, 99))

Dataclass widget can be dynamically created as follows.

Installation

Before you install, be careful for other Qt-dependent packages installed in your environment. For example, non-headless OpenCV-Python module modifies the Qt dependency thus making PySide6 unavailable.

dataclass2PySide6 can be installed using pip.

$ pip install dataclass2PySide6

How to use

1. Create dataclass widget using DataclassWidget.fromDataclass().
2. Get current state of widget with dataChanged signal and currentData() method.
3. Update the current state of widget with applyData() method.

User may subclass DataclassWidget to define own datclass widget. Refer to the docstring for detailed description.
