Cinderella Terminal

Bridge the terminal platform support like Cinderella!!

Why?

I wanted to use the tui crate for Cinderella. Well, unfortunately, Termion doesn't work on Windows, it was made primarily for Unix-like systems. Crossterm fills in that gap, by having a Windows backend.

There is a common practice to not blindly pull in dependencies, as it can be a supply chain attack vector!

So I personally would prefer Termion to Crossterm, since it was made by the Redux folks~!!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows about Jeremy Soller, the maintainer for Termion. He's even a System76 employee, soo there are more trust to his works than say, someone that I have never met yet.

This is nothing against Crossterm and its developers <3

Crossterm will still be used on non-Unix platforms~!!

Additionally, Termion is in a stable release!! ^^

Installation

By default, Cinderella Terminal uses Crossterm, since there isn't a great way to set default features based on the cfg target!!

So if you would like to use this crate fully, you will have to enable the termion feature on cfg(unix) platforms!!

[target.'cfg(windows)'.dependencies]
cinderella-terminal = { git = "https://github.com/lovelyyfiaaa/cinderella-terminal.git" }

[target.'cfg(unix)'.dependencies]
cinderella-terminal = { git = "https://github.com/lovelyyfiaaa/cinderella-terminal.git", default-features = false, features = ["termion"]}
...

Usage

cinderella-terminal uses a backend pattern~!! There are three backends to choose: crossterm, termion, and auto, the latter is just a reexport of the formers!! If you wish to implement your own backend, there's a Backend trait in interface.rs.

use cinderella_terminal::backend::auto::*;

fn main(){
    let terminal = Auto::init_terminal();

    
}
