Textual Inputs is a collection of input widgets for the [Textual](https://github.com/willmcgugan/textual) TUI framework.
## News
### No Longer Maintained Due to Native Textual Support
Thanks to all the developers who contributed or used Textual Inputs. These widgets filled a gap in the early stages of Textual, which is now supported natively. Special thanks to @willmcgugan for creating this fun and functional framework -> [Textual Widget Docs](https://textual.textualize.io/widgets/)
## Quick Start
Installation
```bash
python -m pip install textual-inputs~=0.2.6
```
To use Textual Inputs
```python
from textual_inputs import TextInput, IntegerInput
```
Checkout the [examples](https://github.com/sirfuzzalot/textual-inputs/tree/main/examples) for reference.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/sirfuzzalot/textual-inputs.git
cd textual-inputs
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .
python examples/simple_form.py
```
## Widgets
### TextInput 🔡
- value - string
- one line of text with overflow support
- placeholder and title support
- password mode to hide input
- syntax mode to highlight code
- support for Unicode characters
- controls: arrow right/left, home, end, delete, backspace/ctrl+h, escape
- emits - InputOnChange, InputOnFocus messages
### IntegerInput 🔢
- value - integer or None
- placeholder and title support
- type a number or arrow up/down to increment/decrement the integer.
- controls: arrow right/left, home, end, delete, backspace/ctrl+h, escape
- emits - InputOnChange, InputOnFocus messages
## Features
### One-Line Syntax Highlighting
Textual Inputs takes advantage of `rich`'s built-in Syntax feature. To
add highlighting to your input text set the `syntax` argument to a language
supported by `pygments`. Currently this is set to the default theme.
**⚠️ THIS FEATURE IS LIMITED TO ONE LINE OF TEXT**
```python
TextInput(
name="code",
placeholder="enter some python code...",
title="Code",
syntax="python",
)
```
### Event Handlers
Textual Inputs helps make the event handler process easier by providing
the following convenient properties for inputs.
- on_change_handler_name
- on_focus_handler_name
```python
email = TextInput(name="email", title="Email")
email.on_change_handler_name = "handle_email_on_change"
email.on_focus_handler_name = "handle_email_on_focus"
```
Under the hood setting this attribute this will generate a `Message` class
with the appropriate name for Textual to send it to the handler name provided.
You'll then want add the handler to the input's parent or the App instance.
If you opt not to customize these handlers, their values will be the
default `handle_input_on_change` and `handle_input_on_focus`. See
`examples/simple_form.py` for a working example.
