## Getting started
### How does Asking work?
In a nutshell, your Python script invokes Asking with two inputs:
1. A script to follow.
1. A dictionary to read default values out of and populate with new values.
When the script ends, Asking returns some state to describe the success of the interaction, then the populated dictionary is yours to do with as you please.
### Installation
Asking requires **Python 3.8** or later.
Install Asking via pip:
```bash
pip install asking
```
### Quick-start example
Download the [sample script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cariad/asking/main/sample.asking.yml) to your working directory then run `asking` to perform it:
```bash
asking sample.asking.yaml
```
Note that this will perform the script, but will not load or save any responses. Performing a script via the CLI application is intended only for testing.
## Scripts
### Script structure
A **script** is essentially a dictionary of **stages**, and a **stage** is a list of **actions**.
A script always starts with a stage named "start", and actions are invoked sequentially in order.
### Asking for a value
```yaml
start:
- ask:
question: Name?
key: user.name
branches:
- response: "^.+$"
then:
- stop: true
```
This script asks the user for their name then exits.
The script contains just one stage, named "start". The stage contains just one action: an "ask" action.
The "ask" action contains a "question", which is printed to the screen. The "key" describes where in the dictionary the user's answer should be saved. "user.name" describes the "name" key of the "user" sub dictionary.
The "branches" describe how to react to the user's answer. "response" is a regular expression. Asking checks the user's answer against each expression in order, and uses the first one that matches. In this case, there's only one choice. "then" describes the actions to invoke on that branch and, in this case, we "stop" and send truthiness back to the host application.
For example:
```python
from asking import demo
script = """
start:
- ask:
question: Name?
key: user.name
branches:
- response: "^.+$"
then:
- stop: true
"""
# demo() runs non-interactively with preset directions and
# is intended for demonstrating only. See the usage
# documentation for implementation guidance.
demo(script, directions={"user": {"name": "Bobby Pringles"}})
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Name?
: Bobby Pringles
Stop reason: True
Responses:
{
"user": {
"name": "Bobby Pringles"
}
}
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
### Offering the previous value as the default
```yaml
start:
- ask:
question: Name?
key: user.name
recall: true
branches:
- response: "^.+$"
then:
- stop: true
```
This example is identical to the previous except "recall" is now truthy. Asking will read the dictionary's current "key" value and offer it as the default value.
For example:
```python
from asking import demo
script = """
start:
- ask:
question: Name?
key: user.name
recall: true
branches:
- response: "^.+$"
then:
- stop: true
"""
# demo() runs non-interactively with preset directions and
# is intended for demonstrating only. See the usage
# documentation for implementation guidance.
demo(
script,
responses={
"user": {
"name": "Bobby Sprinkles",
},
},
directions={
"user": {
"name": "Bobby Pringles",
},
},
)
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Name? (default: Bobby Sprinkles)
: Bobby Pringles
Stop reason: True
Responses:
{
"user": {
"name": "Bobby Pringles"
}
}
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
### Offering multiple choice responses
```yaml
start:
- ask:
question: Cake?
branches:
- response: y
then:
- stop: true
- response: n
then:
- stop: false
```
In this example, the responses are plain strings rather than regular expressions. Asking will present all the available options.
If the user enters "y" then Asking will stop and return truthiness to the host application. If the user enters "n" then Asking will stop and return falsiness.
For example:
```python
from asking import demo
script = """
start:
- ask:
question: Cake?
key: cake
branches:
- response: y
then:
- stop: true
- response: n
then:
- stop: false
"""
# demo() runs non-interactively with preset directions and
# is intended for demonstrating only. See the usage
# documentation for implementation guidance.
demo(script, directions={"cake": "n"})
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Cake? (y/n)
: n
Stop reason: False
Responses:
{
"cake": "n"
}
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
### Offering multiple choice responses with a default
```yaml
start:
- ask:
question: Cake?
branches:
- response: [y, ""]
then:
- stop: true
- response: n
then:
- stop: false
```
This is identical to the previous example, except now the first checked response is a list of options rather than a single string. Asking will use the first branch if the user hits enter without entering a value.
For example:
```python
from asking import demo
script = """
start:
- ask:
question: Cake?
key: cake
branches:
- response: [y, ""]
then:
- stop: true
- response: n
then:
- stop: false
"""
# demo() runs non-interactively with preset directions and
# is intended for demonstrating only. See the usage
# documentation for implementation guidance.
demo(script, directions={"cake": ""})
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Cake? (Y/n)
:
Stop reason: True
Responses:
{
"cake": ""
}
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
### Dynamic values
```yaml
start:
- text: Today's date is {today}.
- ask:
question: Is this correct?
branches:
- response: y
then:
- stop: true
- response: n
then:
- stop: false
```
To set some text value at runtime, specify the key in braces and include the value in the state when performing the script:
```python
from asking import ask, State, YamlStringLoader
from datetime import date
loader = YamlStringLoader("""
start:
- text: Today's date is {today}.
- ask:
question: Is this correct?
key: correct
branches:
- response: y
then:
- stop: true
- response: n
then:
- stop: false
""")
state = State(
{},
color=False,
directions={
"correct": "y",
},
references={
"today": date.today(),
},
)
ask(loader, state)
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Today's date is 2021-11-30.
Is this correct? (y/n)
: y
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
### Multiple stages
```yaml
start:
- ask:
question: Cake?
key: cake
branches:
- response: [y, ""]
then:
- goto: cake
- response: n
then:
- goto: tea
cake:
- ask:
question: Which cake?
key: which_cake
branches:
- response: "^.+$"
then:
- goto: tea
tea:
- ask:
question: Tea?
key: tea
branches:
- response: [y, ""]
then:
- goto: final
- response: n
then:
- goto: final
final:
- text: Thank you for your order!
- stop: true
```
This example presents multiple questions. If the user wants cake then they're asked which one. If they don't want cake, or if they answered which cake they want, then they're asked if they want tea. Either way, the script ends with a thank-you message then stops successfully.
For example:
```python
from asking import demo
script = """
start:
- ask:
question: Cake?
key: cake
branches:
- response: [y, ""]
then:
- goto: cake
- response: n
then:
- goto: tea
cake:
- ask:
question: Which cake?
key: which_cake
branches:
- response: "^.+$"
then:
- goto: tea
tea:
- ask:
question: Tea?
key: tea
branches:
- response: [y, ""]
then:
- goto: final
- response: n
then:
- goto: final
final:
- text: Thank you for your order!
- stop: true
"""
# demo() runs non-interactively with preset directions and
# is intended for demonstrating only. See the usage
# documentation for implementation guidance.
demo(
script,
directions={
"cake": "",
"which_cake": "Battenberg",
"tea": "",
},
)
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Cake? (Y/n)
:
Which cake?
: Battenberg
Tea? (Y/n)
:
Thank you for your order!
Stop reason: True
Responses:
{
"cake": "",
"tea": "",
"which_cake": "Battenberg"
}
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
## Usage
### Loaders
Asking offers the following options for loading a YAML script:
- `DictionaryLoader` loads any Python dictionary.
- `FileLoader` loads a YAML file.
- `YamlResourceLoader` loads a YAML package resource.
- `YamlStringLoader` loads a YAML string.
### States
A `State` instance must be made available to your script. This describes the dictionary to read/write and any dynamic values.
### Performing a script
Essentially, a script is performed by:
1. Constructing a loader.
1. Constructing a state, including your responses dictionary.
1. Passing the loader and state into `ask()`.
```python
from asking import ask, State, YamlResourceLoader
responses = {}
loader = YamlResourceLoader(__package__, "sample.asking.yml")
state = State(responses)
stop_reason = ask(loader, state)
```
When `ask()` is complete, it will return whatever value the performance's "stop" action returned, and the responses dictionary will be populated with the user's answers.
### Running non-interactively and unit testing
By default, Asking will -- naturally -- ask users for input.
To test your script without human interaction, you can pass directions into the state. This is a dictionary containing the value to respond with for each question key.
For example:
```python
from asking import ask, State, FileLoader
from pprint import pprint
responses = {}
loader = FileLoader("sample.asking.yml")
state = State(
responses,
color=False,
directions={
"ready": "y",
"user": {
"name": "Bobby Pringles",
"smell": "Sulphur",
},
"save": "y",
},
)
stop_reason = ask(loader, state)
print("Stop reason:", stop_reason)
pprint(responses)
```
<!--edition-exec as=markdown fence=backticks host=shell range=start-->
```text
Asking Demo
Welcome to the Asking demo!
Are you ready? (y/N)
: y
Great! Let's get started!
What's your name?
: Bobby Pringles
What's your favourite smell?
: Sulphur
Here's your configuration:
{
"ready": "y",
"user": {
"name": "Bobby Pringles",
"smell": "Sulphur"
}
}
Okay to save? (y/n)
: y
Stop reason: True
{'ready': 'y',
'save': 'y',
'user': {'name': 'Bobby Pringles', 'smell': 'Sulphur'}}
```
<!--edition-exec range=end-->
These directions also allow you to invoke Asking in unit tests, and assert on stop reasons and dictionary values for given inputs.
## Actions
### ask
```yaml
ask:
branches:
- response: string or string list, required
then:
- action
key: string
question: string, required
recall: boolean, default=False
```
"ask" asks a question.
`key` describes the path in the responses dictionary to read/write the value. Use `.` as a path separator.
`recall` indicates whether to load the response dictionary's current value as the default answer.
`branches` describes the possible reactions to the user's answer.
`response` can be a string value, list of string values, or a regular expression. The first branch with a matching response will be followed.
`then` describes the list of actions to perform when the branch is followed.
### goto
```yaml
goto: stage
```
When a "goto" action is encountered then execution will jump immediately to the specified stage.
### responses
```yaml
responses: json
```
The "responses" action prints the current values of the response dictionary.
### stop
```yaml
stop: any
```
The "stop" action immediately stops the script and returns the reason to the host application.
The reason is required but can be any value; even a list or dictionary.
### text
```yaml
text: string
```
The "text" action simply prints a line of text.
### title
```yaml
title: string
```
The "title" action prints a line of text formatted as a title.
