Textual Inputs is a collection of input widgets for the Textual TUI framework.
โ ๏ธ This library is experimental and its interfaces will change. While Textual Inputs is pre-alpha please pin your projects to the minor release number to avoid breaking changes. For example: textual-inputs=0.2.*
Adds support for customizing the message handler names for on change and
on focus events emitted by the inputs. Under the hood 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.
email = TextInput(name="email", title="Email")
email.on_change_handler_name = "handle_email_on_change"
email.on_focus_handler_name = "handle_email_on_focus"
