defold-dialogs

Super simple Defold library for accessing native save and open dialogs (using LuaJit FFI).

Usage

1. Add this library as a dependency in your Defold project. Pick one of the release Zip file URLs from: https://github.com/andsve/defold-dialogs/releases

2. Currently you need to copy the native_libs folder supplied in the library to the root of your project.

3. In your script, add; local dialogs = require "dialogs/dialogs".

4. When you want to show a dialog, call:

   • Show an open dialog:

   print(dialogs.open(".txt,.lua", "c:/PathToDefaultDirectory"))

   • Show an save dialog:

   print(dialogs.save(".txt,.lua", "c:/PathToDefaultDirectory"))

Limitations

• Only works on Windows (32bit) and OSX (32bit+64bit) for now.

Changelog

• 0.9 - 2016-12-19 - Initial release, Win32 and OSX support.
