tui: Terminal UI for Go

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.

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 := tui.New(box)
	ui.SetKeybinding("Esc", func() { ui.Quit() })

	if err := ui.Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}
