Overview
This is an AppleSript language binding (glue code) for using Pashua with AppleScript. Pashua is a macOS application for using native GUI dialog windows in various programming languages.
This code can be found in a GitHub repository at https://github.com/BlueM/Pashua-Binding-AppleScript. For examples in other programming languages, see https://github.com/BlueM/Pashua-Bindings.

Usage
This repository contains uncompiled AppleScript code. You can open “Example.applescript” and run it in the script editor, but it needs a compiled version of “Pashua.applescript” (which is also in this folder).
Solution: simply open a Terminal window, run “compile.sh” (i.e.: drag the icon onto the Terminal window and hit Return) and you’re done. You will now have “Example.scpt” and “Pashua.scpt”. “Example.scpt” is the actual example, and “Pashua.scpt” is the “library” for handling the communication with Pashua.
Of course, you will need Pashua on your Mac to run the example. The code expects Pashua.app in one of the “typical” locations, such as the global or the user’s “Applications” folder, or in the folder which contains “Example.scpt” and “Pashua.scpt”.
Compatibility
This code should run at least on Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
It is compatible with Pashua 0.10. It will work with earlier versions of Pashua, but non-ASCII characters will not be displayed correctly, as any versions before 0.10 required an argument for marking input as UTF-8. If you want to use this code with Pashua < 0.10, you can remove partial line as «class utf8» in “Pashua.applescript” or “Pashua.scpt” respectively.
