# Zenity dialogs for Golang, Windows and macOS
|
|
|
|
[](https://godoc.org/github.com/ncruces/zenity)
|
|
|
|
This repo includes both a cross-platform Go package providing [Zenity](https://help.gnome.org/users/zenity/)-like dialogs,
|
|
as well as a *“port”* of the `zenity` command to both Windows and macOS based on that library.
|
|
|
|
**This is a work in progress.**
|
|
|
|
Lots of things are missing.
|
|
For now, these are the only implemented dialogs:
|
|
* message (error, info, question, warning); and
|
|
* file selection.
|
|
|
|
Behavior on Windows, macOS and other UNIXes might differ sliglty.
|
|
Some of that is intended (reflecting platform differences),
|
|
other bits are unfortunate limitations,
|
|
others still open to be fixed.
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
There are a bunch of other dialog packages for Go.
|
|
Why reinvent this particular wheel?
|
|
|
|
#### Requirements:
|
|
|
|
* no `cgo` (see [benefits](https://dave.cheney.net/2016/01/18/cgo-is-not-go), mostly cross-compilation)
|
|
* no main loop (or other threading requirements)
|
|
* no initialization
|
|
* on Windows:
|
|
* Explorer shell not required (works in Server Core)
|
|
* no other dependencies
|
|
* Unicode support
|
|
* on macOS:
|
|
* only dependency is `osascript`, JXA
|
|
* on other UNIXes:
|
|
* wraps either one of `matedialog`, `qarma`, `zenity` (in that order of preference)
|
|
* no command line support
