guify 0.2.5a0

A tool that will GUI-ify your functions

GUIfy

---

Simplest form of GUI for automation scripts.

Made with eel as python backend and react used as frontend.

How to use

pip install guify

# main.py
import GUIfy from guify

# Instantiate the app, variables are optional.
app = GUIfy(app_name='GUIfy', port=8080) # default app_name is 'GUIfy'

# Register the function "test_1"
# All variables are optional
# name - the name of the "test" in the gui
# priority - Sets the order of the tests, priority 0 will run before priority 1
# description - the small text description under the test's name in the gui.
@app.register(name='Test 1', priority=0, description='This is a test')
# Define the test, each argument that "test_1" requires will be automatically prompted for in the gui.
# if same arg name (example_arg) apperas on 2 different tests, it will be requested only once in the gui.
def test_1(example_arg):
    # app.monitor object represents the textarea on the right-hand side of the gui
    # app.monitor.clear_text() - sets the text to empty string
    app.monitor.clear_text()

    # app.monitor.set_text(text) - sets the text to whatever is passed to it
    app.monitor.set_text('This is a test\n')

    # app.monitor.append_text(text) - appends whatever passed to it to the textarea
    app.monitor.append_text('This is a test2\n')

    # app.prompt_user(prompt) - pops up a modal in the gui and asks user to click OK or cancel.
    # app.prompt_user will return True if user clicked OK and False if user clicked cancel
    result = app.prompt_user('This is a prompt') # True if user clicked OK, False if user clicked Cancel

    # app.config get something from config tab, acts similar to configparser
    # config stored in config.ini in the current working directory.
    foo = app.config.get('example','foo') # == bar

    # Specify the return type, this is used for report generation
    # if function returns True then test considered as Passed
    # if function returns False then test considered as Failed
    return True


# this test will be registered after test_1, because its priority arg is higher.
@app.register(name='Test 2', priority=1, description='This is the second test.')
def test_2(example_arg, second_arg):
    app.monitor.clear_text()




app.run()

Monitor object

app.monitor is the monitor object representing the preview window on right hand side of the GUI,

• set_text(text: str) -> None // will set the text in the monitor to whatever passed in "text" argument
• append_text(text: str) -> None // will append the next to the monitor
• clear_text(text: str) -> None // will clear all text in the monitor

---

Config tab

"app.config" is an object representing the config tab. All configurations are stored in config.ini.

app.config methods:

• save() // Save config to config.ini
• load() // Load config from config.ini
• get_section() // load() and return an entire section as a dictionary
• get(section, attribute) // load() and get value of attribute in section
• set(section, attribute, value) // load() and set value of attribute in section and then save().

Assuming this is the config file:

[example]
foo = bar

This will be the correct usage of app.config object

app.config.get_section('example') -> {'foo': 'bar'}
app.config.get('example', 'foo') -> 'bar'

---

Settings

in settings.ini you can change the following settings:

• reports_dir - Optional defualt is "reports/" the directory where the reports will be saved
• report_name_prefix - Optional: Can be one of the variables passed to registered functions, uses this variable name as identification for reports

Building

Theoretically its possible to build an executable with eel using the following:

py -m eel index.py build --onefile --noconsole --name <whatever_u_want> --icon=public/favicon.ico

Please not that this hasn't been tested yet.
