Zenity dialogs for Golang, Windows and macOS
This repo includes both a cross-platform Go package providing
Zenity-like dialogs
(simple dialogs that interact graphically with the user),
as well as a “port” of the zenity
command to both Windows and macOS based on that library.
Implemented dialogs:
- message (error, info, question, warning)
- text entry
- list (simple)
- password
- file selection
- color selection
- progress
- notification
Behavior on Windows, macOS and other Unixes might differ slightly. Some of that is intended (reflecting platform differences), other bits are unfortunate limitations.
Installing
The Go package:
go get github.com/ncruces/zenity
The zenity
command on macOS/WSL using Homebrew:
brew install ncruces/tap/zenity
Or download the latest release.
Why?
There are a bunch of other dialog packages for Go.\ Why reinvent this particular wheel?
