Curses menu - Continued

[svartkanin]

Updating new curses menu from previous PR

• Addressed comments from previous PR
  • Renamed V type variable
  • Changed the instantiation of the Tui() class so that it will not right away kick off curses but requires a tui.init() to avoid issues when tests are importing various modules
• Added support for text input menu
• Added scrolling functionality for previews
• Added support for aligning menus right and center

The following code produces the above screenshots

from archinstall.tui.curses_menu import SelectMenu, MenuItemGroup, FrameProperties, FrameStyle, EditMenu, tui

tui.init()

def test_data():
	return """{
	"__separator__": null,
	...
	"""

items = [
	MenuItem(f'Language', preview_action=lambda x: test_data()),
	MenuItem(f'Disk configuration', preview_action=lambda x: test_data()),
	MenuItem(f'Install', preview_action=lambda x: test_data()),
	MenuItem(f'Abort', preview_action=lambda x: test_data()),
]

group = MenuItemGroup(items, sort_items=False, focus_item=items[0])


menu = SelectMenu(
	group,
	reset_warning_msg='are you certain?',
	allow_skip=False,
	allow_reset=False,
	preview_style=PreviewStyle.RIGHT,
	# alignment=Alignment.CENTER,
	preview_size='auto',
	preview_frame=FrameProperties('Info', FrameStyle.MAX),
).single()


def validator(value: str):
	import re
	if not re.match(r"^[a-z_]([a-z0-9_-]{0,31}|[a-z0-9_-]{0,30}\$)$", value):
		return 'Specify a valid username'
	return None

username = EditMenu('Username', validator=validator, alignment=Alignment.CENTER).input()
