This repository serves as a template for table based applications written in Python and PySide6. The theming is provided by PyQtDarkTheme.

Note that this repository does not provide a functional app on its own!

All dialogs are initially loaded by UI files, as implemented in the file views/helpers.py:

def load_ui_file(filename):
    ui_file = QFile(filename)
    if not ui_file.open(QFile.ReadOnly):
        print("Cannot open {}: {}".format(filename, ui_file.errorString()))
        sys.exit(-1)
    return ui_file

All UI files are stored in the directory ui, while their Python counterparts are to be found in the views folder.

The logic package contains the basic data model (s. model.py). The persistence is managed by SQLite. Furthermore, some helpers to access the database and other conveniences are available in this package:

• config.py contains everything around the app itself, local settings about the database, locale or theme, etc.
• queries.py defines the queries that provide the information behind the table dialogs
• table_models.py is an assembly point for custom extensions of QSqlQueryModel. The general base class here provides a search functionality that is connected to the search line of each table dialog (s. ui/tableView.py)

These are projects, that are based on the structure provided by this repository:

• pyIM: An inventory management tool (Work in progress)
• shift: Planning tool for working schedules in the medical field

Since I've learned using PySide basically only "by doing", there might be some best practices, I'm not aware of. So, if you have some suggestions or improvements, feel free to share them!
