Package tview implements rich widgets for terminal based user interfaces. The
|
|
widgets provided with this package are useful for data exploration and data
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
Widgets
|
|
|
|
The package implements the following widgets:
|
|
|
|
- TextView: Scrollable windows that display multi-colored text. Text may also
|
|
be highlighted.
|
|
- Table: Scrollable display of tabular data. Table cells, rows, or columns may
|
|
also be highlighted.
|
|
- List: A navigable text list with optional keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
- InputField: One-line input fields to enter text.
|
|
- DropDown: Drop-down selection fields.
|
|
- Checkbox: Selectable checkbox for boolean values.
|
|
- Button: Buttons which get activated when the user selects them.
|
|
- Form: Forms composed of input fields, drop down selections, checkboxes, and
|
|
buttons.
|
|
- Modal: A centered window with a text message and one or more buttons.
|
|
- Flex: A Flexbox based layout manager.
|
|
- Pages: A page based layout manager.
|
|
|
|
The package also provides Application which is used to poll the event queue and
|
|
draw widgets on screen.

Hello World
|
|
|
|
The following is a very basic example showing a box with the title "Hello,
|
|
world!":
|
|
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/rivo/tview"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
box := tview.NewBox().SetBorder(true).SetTitle("Hello, world!")
|
|
if err := tview.NewApplication().SetRoot(box, true).Run(); err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
First, we create a box primitive with a border and a title. Then we create an
|
|
application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The
|
|
application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when
|
|
Ctrl-C is pressed.
|
|
|
|
If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's
|
|
SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most
|
|
primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any
|
|
actions performed on them.
|
|
|
|
More Demos
|
|
|
|
You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a
|
|
presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different
|
|
widgets and how they can be used.
|
|
|
|
Type Hierarchy
|
|
|
|
All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are
|
|
therefore available for all widgets, too.
|
|
|
|
All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable
|
|
interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types.
|
|
|
|
The tview package is based on github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and
|
|
constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values).
|
|
|
|
This package does not process mouse input (yet).
