help me figure out the UI Textfield

[alexandrsemenov]

Hello everyone, help please, I myself am not very good at programming, I need to enter text into the textfield window, write it to a variable and pass it to the next function, please show a small example

from ui import View, TextField, Label
from collections import deque

''' simple conversation bot:
   
   prompt label
   [__textfield__________]
            
'''

#create a 400x400 view to be our container
v=View(frame=(0,0,400,400), bg_color='white')

#create a prompt label
prompt=Label(frame=(0,0,400,44))

#create an empty textfield
tf=TextField(frame=(0,50,400,44))

#add the elements to the view
v.add_subview(prompt)
v.add_subview(tf)

'''the concept here is to create a sequence of callbacks.  each callback must respond to the text in the textbox, and take some other action, like updating the propmpt in response, storing variables, then setting up for the next action.  '''

#just to allow creations of pactions that we can cycle through
action_queue=deque()

def next_action():
   '''load the next action into the textfield'''
   tf.action=action_queue.popleft()
   action_queue.append(tf.action)
   
def ask_name(sender):
   ''' ask the user for his/her name'''
   prompt.text='What is your name'
   tf.text=''
   next_action() 
   
def ask_age(sender):
   '''called in response to ask_name prompt, respond with the name and ask age'''
   username=tf.text
   tf.text=''
   prompt.text='Hello, {} how old are you?'.format(username)   

   #save this for later.  a lazy but easy approach is to stash attributes in your ui components.  
   tf.username=username
   next_action()

def comment_on_age(sender):   
   '''use previously stored name variable'''
   try:
      age=int(tf.text)
   except ValueError:
      prompt.text='Huh? Age is a just a number, what is yours?'
      tf.text=''
      return
      
   tf.text=''
   if age < 20:
      prompt.text='You whole life is ahead of you, {}'.format(tf.username)
   elif age < 40:
      prompt.text='These are your best years, enjoy them'
   elif age >= 40:
      prompt.text='Is it all downhill from here, {}?'.format(tf.username)
   
   next_action()

#now, setup our sequence of actions, then call the first action to start us off. 
action_queue.extend([ask_name, ask_age, comment_on_age])  
next_action()   
tf.action(tf)


v.present('sheet')

This is probably a bad example, since this is more of a dialog than a TextField.

@JonB If he is a novice in programmation, you will push him to suicide.😂

@alexandrsemenov if @JonB 's solution is too complex for your request, please try

import ui

tf = ui.TextField()
tf.frame = (0,0,300,40)
tf.name = 'Window of TextField'
tf.placeholder = 'type here, then press X'
tf.begin_editing()
tf.present('sheet')
tf.wait_modal()

var = tf.text				# put the TextField text in a variable
def next_function(v):
	print(v)
next_function(var)	# pass the variable to the next function
