README
tui: Terminal UI for Go
[
](LICENSE)
A UI library for terminal applications.
tui (pronounced tooey) provides a higher-level programming model for building rich terminal applications. It lets you build layout-based user interfaces that (should) gracefully handle resizing for you.
IMPORTANT: tui-go is still in an experimental phase so please don't use it for anything other than experiments, yet.
Update: I created tui-go as an experiment because I wanted a simpler way of creating terminal-based user interfaces. It has since then become a project, with all the work that comes with it. While it's been really fun, unfortunately I'm no longer able to maintain this project.
Since I started working on tui-go, a number of similar projects have popped up. One that I think shows great promise is rivo/tview, which embodies much of what I envisioned for tui-go. I highly recommend trying it out!
Thanks all of you who have contributed and supported tui-go!

Installation
go get github.com/marcusolsson/tui-go
Usage
package main
import "github.com/marcusolsson/tui-go"
func main() {
box := tui.NewVBox(
tui.NewLabel("tui-go"),
)
ui, err := tui.New(box)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
ui.SetKeybinding("Esc", func() { ui.Quit() })
if err := ui.Run(); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
