To enhance user experience and minimize errors, I implemented a feature within the EpicEventsCommand
management command that allows users to easily return to the main menu if they make a mistake or enter an incorrect selection. This functionality is provided through the custom_input()
method.
How It Works
custom_input()
method prompts the user for an input based on a given label.ENTER
or enters a blank string (i.e., " " or ""), the method detects this as a request to return to the main menu.@classmethod
def custom_input(cls, label):
value = input(label)
if value in ["", " "]:
print()
call_command("start")
sys.exit()
return value
This approach provides users with a straightforward and intuitive way to correct their actions and return to the main menu without having to navigate through multiple steps, improving the overall usability and flexibility of the command-line interface.
