dm_x

A Rust crate for using dmenu, a keyboard-driven menu originally written for use with tiling window managers.

Using this crate involves implementing the Item trait for your type, and then passing a slice of those to the Dmx::select() method.

Item is already implemented for &str, so the following should work:

let choices: &[&str] = &[
    "Choice A",
    "Choice B",
    "Choice C",
    "Both A and B",
    "Both B and C",
    "All Three",
    "None of the Above",
];

let dmx = Dmx::default();

match dmx.select("Pick One:", choices).unwrap() {
    None => {
        println!("You declined to select an option.");
    },
    Some(n) => match choices.get(n) {
        None => {
            println!("You somehow chose an invalid choice.");
        },
        Some(choice) => {
            println!("You chose \"{}\".", choice);
        }
    }
}

See the examples/ for non-trivial implementation of Item.
