##FROZEN - PLEASE MIGRATE

These packages are moving to https://github.com/tawesoft/golib.

This is to increase security against possible supply chain attacks such as our domain name expiring in the future and being registered by someone else.

Please migrate to https://github.com/tawesoft/golib (when available) instead.

Most programs relying on a package in this monorepo, such as the dialog or lxstrconv packages, will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

Rarely used packages have been hidden for now - they are in the git commit history at https://github.com/tawesoft/go if you need to resurrect one.

About

Package dialog implements simple cross platform native MessageBox/Alert dialogs for Go.

Currently, only supports Windows and Linux targets.

On Linux, uses (in order of preference) zenity, xmessage, or stdio.

Example

Usage is quite simple:

package main

import "tawesoft.co.uk/go/dialog"

func main() {
    dialog.Alert("Hello world!")
    dialog.Alert("There are %d lights", 4)
}
