bb-dialog

A simple wrapper library for working with dialog from Babashka.

This allows for a smoother way of adding simple TUI dialogs to your Babashka scripts on supported operating systems.

Requirements

You will need some version of either dialog, whiptail, or Xdialog installed. dialog or whiptail may already be installed on most Linux systems, however on OS X you will need to install dialog from brew. There is also a Windows port of dialog here.

Usage

For the time being, you should be able to employ bb-dialog as a git dependency in your bb.edn, and releases are tagged for ease of use:

{:deps {com.github.pixelated-noise/bb-dialog
        {:git/tag "v0.3"
         :git/sha "0d23383812dd6e199661c6f276738c974a53d65d"}}}
