Additional UI Widget types

[schwehr]

More a question than an issue. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

Context: I'm looking to make a small textual app that is basically a guided database entry tool / form entry or to modify a pre-existing entry. Specifically it's for SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) and one concrete example: Earth Engine STAC Catalog. Not that it really matters, but the results will be stored in a JSON file.

Before I go and try to implement some of these UI widgets, I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something that is already done.

Some of the widgets I'm looking at doing:

• Input box constrained by a type and range, e.g.
  • Text that must match a regex
  • Int or float in a range
• A spinner to select from a list of choices, e.g. pick a license from https://spdx.org/licenses/)

Also, does anyone have examples of textual applications like this?

There isn't anything built into Textual right at the moment that would directly satisfy those particular requirements, but I imagine extending one or more of the existing widgets like this should work. You'll also find some of this on the roadmap.
