Python PyQt5 | Employee Management System: How I Created The UI Part 2
If you have been following along with my previous article, then you already know that we are building an Employee Management System using Python and PyQt5. In this article, we will continue our journey and focus on the UI part of the application.
Creating the User Interface
Creating the UI for our Employee Management System involves designing the layout and adding various components such as buttons, labels, text fields, etc. We will be using PyQt5 library to achieve this.
Code Example
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QGridLayout, QLabel, QLineEdit
class EmployeeManagementSystemUI(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
gridLayout = QGridLayout()
nameLabel = QLabel('Name:')
nameInput = QLineEdit()
gridLayout.addWidget(nameLabel, 0, 0)
gridLayout.addWidget(nameInput, 0, 1)
ageLabel = QLabel('Age:')
ageInput = QLineEdit()
gridLayout.addWidget(ageLabel, 1, 0)
gridLayout.addWidget(ageInput, 1, 1)
saveButton = QPushButton('Save')
gridLayout.addWidget(saveButton, 2, 0, 1, 2)
self.setLayout(gridLayout)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = EmployeeManagementSystemUI()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Explanation
In the code example above, we have created a simple UI for our Employee Management System. We used the QGridLayout to arrange the components in a grid-like fashion. We added labels for ‘Name’ and ‘Age’ along with input fields for the user to enter employee information. Finally, we added a ‘Save’ button to save the entered data.
Conclusion
Creating the UI for the Employee Management System is an essential step in building a user-friendly application. With the help of PyQt5, we were able to design a simple yet effective UI for our system. In the next part of this series, we will focus on the functionality of the application.
