Return Types

All Dialogs are pre-parsed into proper Nim Types!.

  • The Color Picker returns a Color type from colors module.
  • The Date Picker returns a DateTime type from times module.
  • Boolean, integer or string are returned when fits.

Why not a proper GUI Toolkit?

  • This is oriented to newbiews, teaching programming classes, hackattons, etc.
  • KISS principle, easy to use, simple API, Nim need GUI, this is ~32Kb compiled.
  • KDEs Documentation works for this module since its 1:1 clone. Has builtin Examples.
  • The idea is to help people move from procedural Bash to Nim with GUI.

Requisites

  • KDialog and Qt5.
  • Nim and Nimble.
