Usage

Dialoger provides a set of functions to create interactive dialog windows with ease. The functions are: ask, askwithanswers, confirm, alert, info, error and success.

ask

The ask function creates a dialog window with a question and a text input. It returns the text inputted by the user.

Parameters

• title: The title of the dialog window.
• question: The question to be asked to the user.
• answer_type: The type of the answer. Can be str, int, float, alphanumeric or password.
• answer_default (optional): The default answer. If None, the text input will be empty.
• pattern (optional): A pattern to validate the answer. # will be replaced by the number. For example, ##/##/#### can be used to ask for a date or ###.###.###-## to ask for a CPF. If None, no pattern will be used.
• allow_empty (optional): If True, the user can leave the text input empty. If False, the user must input something.
• allow_cancel (optional): If True, the user can cancel the dialog window. If False, the user must answer the question.

import dialoger

date = dialoger.ask('Birth date''', 'What is your birth date?', 'str', pattern='##/##/####', allow_empty=False, allow_cancel=False)

print(f"You were born in {date}")

askwithanswers

The askwithanswers function creates a dialog window with a question and a list of choices. It returns the choice selected by the user.

Parameters

• title: The title of the dialog window.
• question: The question to be asked to the user.
• choices: A list of choices.

import dialoger

answer = dialoger.askwithanswers('Favorite color', 'What is your favorite color?', ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue'])

print(f"Your favorite color is {answer}")

confirm

The confirm function creates a dialog window with a message and two buttons. It returns True if the user clicks the first button, or False if the user clicks the second button. The default buttons are "Yes" and "No", but you can change them by passing a list of strings as the choices parameter.

Parameters

• title: The title of the dialog window.
• message: The message to be displayed to the user.
• choices (optional): A list of strings to be used as the buttons. The first string will be used as the first button, and the second string will be used as the second button. If None, the default buttons will be used.

import dialoger

answer = dialoger.confirm('Confirm', 'Are you sure you want to delete this file?')

if answer:
    print('File deleted')
else:
    print('File not deleted')

alert, info, error and success

The alert, info, error and success functions create a dialog window with a message and a button. They don't return anything.

Parameters

• title: The title of the dialog window.
• message: The message to be displayed to the user.

import dialoger

dialoger.alert('Alert', 'This is an alert')
