               aAllowMultipleSelects: range[0 .. 1] = 0): cstring {...}{.
    importc: "tinyfd_saveFileDialog".}
  • aDefaultPathAndFile is 1 default full path.
  • aFilterPatterns is 1 Posix Glob pattern string. "*.*", "*.jpg", etc.
  • aSingleFilterDescription is a string with descriptions for aFilterPatterns.
  • aAllowMultipleSelects must be 0 (false) or 1 (true), multiple selection returns 1 string with paths divided by |, int type.

Similar to the other file dialog but with more extra options.

proc dialogOpenDir(aTitle: cstring; aDefaultPath: cstring): cstring {...}{.

Fast simple parseOpt alternative, parse anything, returns value directly, copy-free.
  • key is the Key to parse from commandLineParams.
  • parseProc is whatever proc parses the value of key, any proc should work.
  • default is 1 default value to return if key is not found, if required=true is ignored.

Macros

macro bindProcs(w: Webview; scope: string; n: untyped): untyped
  • Functions must be proc or func; No template nor macro.
  • Functions must NOT have return Type, must NOT return anything, use the API.
  • To pass return data to the Frontend use the JavaScript API and WebGui API.
  • Functions do NOT need the * Star to work. Functions must NOT have Pragmas.

You can bind functions with the signature like:

proc functionName[T, U](argumentString: T): U
proc functionName[T](argumentString: T)
proc functionName()

Then you can call the function in JavaScript side, like this:

scope.functionName(argumentString)

Example:

let app = newWebView()
app.bindProcs("api"):
  proc changeTitle(title: string) = app.setTitle(title) ## You can call code on the right-side,
  proc changeCss(stylesh: string) = app.css(stylesh)    ## from JavaScript Web Frontend GUI,
  proc injectJs(jsScript: string) = app.js(jsScript)    ## by the function name on the left-side.
  ## (JS) JavaScript Frontend <-- = --> Nim Backend (Native Code, C Speed)

The only limitation is 1 string argument only, but you can just use JSON.
