## Installation
```sh
v install https://github.com/ttytm/dialog
```
On macOS, `dialog` currently uses V webview to ensure it can interop with system windows.
```sh
# macOS only dependency
v install https://github.com/ttytm/webview
~/.vmodules/webview/build.vsh
```
## Usage
```v ignore
// message launches a message box and returns `true` if `OK` or `Yes` was pressed.
pub fn message(message string, opts MessageOptions) bool
// prompt launches an input prompt with an "OK" and "Cancel" button.
pub fn prompt(message string, opts PromptOptions) ?string
// file_dialog opens a file dialog and returns the selected path or `none` if the selection was canceled.
pub fn file_dialog(opts FileDialogOptions) ?string
// open_file opens a file dialog and returns the `os.File` of the selected file.
// Optionally, `path` can be specified as the default folder the dialog will attempt to open in.
// It returns an error if the selection was cancelled or if reading the file fails.
pub fn open_file(opts FileOpenOptions) !os.File
// read_file opens a file dialog and reads the file contents of the selected file.
// Optionally, `path` can be specified as the default folder the dialog will attempt to open in.
// It returns an error if the selection was cancelled or if reading the file fails.
pub fn read_file(opts FileOpenOptions) !string
// open_dir opens a file dialog and returns the path of the selected directory and a list of its contents.
// Optionally, `path` can be specified as the default folder the dialog will attempt to open in.
// It returns an error if the selection was cancelled or if reading the directory contents fails.
pub fn open_dir(opts FileOpenOptions) !(string, []string)
// save_file opens a file dialog and saves the given content to the selected path.
// Optionally, `path` can be specified as the default folder the dialog will attempt to open in.
// `filename` can be provided to set the default text that will appear in the filename input.
// It returns an error if the selection was canceled or if writing the file fails.
pub fn save_file(opts FileSaveOptions) !
// color_picker opens an RGBA color picker dialog and returns the selected color or `none` if the
// selection was canceled. Optionally, it takes a `color` and `opacity` argument. `color` sets the
// dialogs initial color. `opacity` can be set to `false` to disable the opacity slider on Linux.
pub fn color_picker(opts ColorPickerOptions) ?Color
