Minetest FormSpeccer

License: LGPLv3

A lightweight mini-API for creating and managing formspecs without having to contend with its... specialised syntax....

Currently supports

field
button, button_exit, image_button, image_button_exit
image
list

More will be added as I progress

Example

Add a dependency to formspeccer, then use the formspeccer object to manage formspecs

local formname = "mymod:myform"

formspeccer:newform(formname,"10,7") -- a new form , 10x7
formspeccer:add_field(formname,{
	name="field1",
	label="Your name",
	value="Sam", -- optional pre-populated value for the form
})
formspeccer:add_button(
	{
		name="send",
		label="Send!",
	},
	true -- optional , makes it an exit button
)

-- just show the form to a player
formspeccer:show(player,"mymod:myform)

-- this will error because the form already exists
formspeccer:newform(formname,"10,7")

-- clear the named form and start again
formspeccer:clear("mymod:myform")

minetest.show_formspec(player:get_player_name(),
	formspeccer:to_string(formname) -- returns the formspec raw string
)
