Perfrom Clean-Ups

It might happen that a prompt is cancelled by the user and clean-up actions need to be performed. This can be achieved by using a try-except-block.

from pathlib import Path
from aprompt import prompt
from aprompt.prompts import text

CACHE = Path("cache")

username = prompt("Please enter your username.", text())
CACHE.write_text(f"username={username}")

try:
    password = prompt("Please enter your password.", text(hide=True))
except SystemExit as exc:
    CACHE.write_text("")  # erease the cache
    raise exc

CACHE.write_text(CACHE.read_text() + f"\npassword={password}")

Prompts can be configured to be exited with CTRL+D. The differnce to exiting normally with CTRL+C is that the program should not exit but instead move on to the next or previous prompt. This option is usually used to implement an undo operation.

from pathlib import Path
from aprompt import prompt
from aprompt.exceptions import PromptExit
from aprompt.prompts import text

CACHE = Path("cache")
