Term2GUI V1.0 Pre

Term2GUI

Introduction

Term2GUI is a graphical user interface (GUI) application designed to simplify the execution of command-line programs. It reads configuration files in JSON format to dynamically generate a user-friendly interface for setting command-line arguments. The application supports various argument types, including string, formatted string, and boolean.

Features

• Dynamic UI Generation: Automatically generates input fields based on the provided JSON configuration.
• Argument Types: Supports str, fmtstr, and bool argument types.
• Real-time Command Preview: Displays the constructed command before execution.
• Output Display: Captures and displays the standard output and error of the executed command.

Installation

To install and run Term2GUI, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/gene-2012/Term2GUI.git
cd Term2GUI

Configuration

The configuration for Term2GUI is defined in a JSON file, cfg.json as default. You can find some example in the example directory. More example can be found here.

Here's a basic example of a configuration file:

// cfg.json
{
    "title": "Your Application Title",
    "exec": "command_to_execute",
    "args": {
        "input": {
            "type": "fmtstr",
            "format": "-i %s",
            "prompt": "Input File"
        },
        "output": {
            "type": "fmtstr",
            "format": "%s",
            "prompt": "Output File"
        },
        "option": {
            "type": "bool",
            "true": "-o",
            "false": ""
        },
        "flag": {
            "type": "str",
            "value": "-f"
        }
    }
}

Useage

To run Term2GUI, simply execute the main.py script:

# If you want to use the default configuration filename
python main.py
# Or specify your own config filename
python main.py your_config_filename

Attention:
The main.py script will automatically detect the cfg.json file in the current directory. If you want to use a different configuration file, you need to specify the filename as an argument when running the script.
