DaWiQ - Dataclass Widget with Qt

DaWiQ is a Python package to generate Qt widget from dataclass.

It provides:

• Dynamic construction of widget from dataclass
• Customizing widget for user-defined type
• Delegate and mapper for dataclass widget

The following Qt bindings are supported:

• PySide6
• PySide2
• PyQt6
• PyQt5

Usage

Here is a simple dataclass:

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class DataClass:
    a: int
    b: bool

DaWiQ can build a widget from this dataclass. For PySide6 example,

from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from dawiq import dataclass2Widget
import sys

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
dataWidget = dataclass2Widget(DataClass)
dataWidget.show()
app.exec()
app.quit()

This widget can be mapped to item model for storing the data. More examples are provided in the documentation.

Installation

DaWiQ can be installed from PyPI.

$ pip install dawiq

To install from GitHub source, clone the repository with git and install with pip.

$ git clone https://github.com/JSS95/dawiq.git
$ cd dawiq
$ pip install .

DaWiQ does not specify the Qt binding requirement, therefore you must manually install one.

Documentation

DaWiQ is documented with Sphinx. Documentation can be found on Read the Docs:

https://dawiq.readthedocs.io/

If you want to build the document yourself, get the source code and install with [doc] option. Then go to doc directory and build the document.

$ pip install .[doc]
$ cd doc
