Alternative way of handling user input dialogs

It's working, tested - https://scriptingosx.com/2018/08/user-interaction-from-bash-scripts/ , e.g.

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

consoleUser() {
    echo "show State:/Users/ConsoleUser" | scutil | awk '/Name :/ && ! /loginwindow/ { print $3 }'
}

displaydialog() { # $1: message
    message=${1:-"Message"}
    user=$(consoleUser)
    if [[ $user != "" ]]; then
        uid=$(id -u "$user")
        launchctl asuser $uid /usr/bin/osascript <<-EndOfScript
            button returned of ¬
                (display dialog "$message" ¬
                buttons {"OK"} ¬
                default button "OK")
        EndOfScript
    fi
}

displaynotification() { # $1: message $2: title
    message=${1:-"Message"}
    title=${2:-"Script Notification"}
    user=$(consoleUser)
    if [[ $user != "" ]]; then
        uid=$(id -u "$user")
        launchctl asuser $uid /usr/bin/osascript <<-EndOfScript
            display notification "$message" with title "$title"
        EndOfScript
    fi
}

displayfortext() { # $1: message $2: default text
    message=${1:-"Message"}
    defaultvalue=${2:-"default value"}
    user=$(consoleUser)
    if [[ $user != "" ]]; then
        uid=$(id -u "$user")

        launchctl asuser $uid /usr/bin/osascript <<-EndOfScript
            text returned of ¬
                (display dialog "$message" ¬
                    default answer "$defaultvalue" ¬
                    buttons {"OK"} ¬
                    default button "OK")
            EndOfScript
    else
        exit 1
    fi
}

# run all functions

displaydialog "Hello"
name=$(displayfortext "Enter your name:" "$(consoleUser)")
displaynotification "Hello, $name"
