wizards is a package designed for the quick and painless development
|
|
of interrogative programs, which revolve around a dialogue with the
|
|
user, who is asked a series of questions in a sequence much like an
|
|
installation wizard.
|
|
|
|
Everything from interactive system scripts, to installation wizards,
|
|
to full-blown shells can be implemented with the support of wizards.
|
|
|
|
It is developed transparently on top of a free monad, which separates
|
|
out the semantics of the program from any particular interface. A
|
|
variety of backends exist, including console-based
|
|
"System.Console.Wizard.Haskeline" and "System.Console.Wizard.BasicIO",
|
|
and the pure "System.Console.Wizard.Pure". It is also possible to
|
|
write your own backends, or extend existing back-ends with new
|
|
features. While both built-in IO backends operate on a console, there
|
|
is no reason why wizards cannot also be used for making GUI wizard
|
|
interfaces.
