Installation

pip install menuet

Usage

Create a menu configuration in TOML format.

# menu.toml
[[action]]
id = "print-hello"
label = "Print Hello"
cb = "print('Hello')"
group = "Separator"

[[action]]
id = "open-gui"
label = "Open GUI"
cb = "ep:myapp.gui:open_gui"
menu = ["Foo", "Bar"]

Load the above configuration into a Model and pass that model to a Menu Builder to create a menu.

from pathlib import Path
from menuet import Model, loads
from menuet.builders.text import Render, TextMenuBuilder

model = Model()
loads(Path("menu.toml").read_text(), model)

builder = TextMenuBuilder(model, root_menu="Demo", render=Render.UTF8)
print(builder.build())

Demo
├── Foo
│   └── Bar
│       └── Open GUI
├── Separator ───
└── Print Hello
