Among these components are:
|
|
|
|
- __Input forms__ (including __text input__, __selections__, __checkboxes__, and __buttons__)
|
|
- Navigable multi-color __text views__
|
|
- Editable multi-line __text areas__
|
|
- Sophisticated navigable __table views__
|
|
- Flexible __tree views__
|
|
- Selectable __lists__
|
|
- __Images__
|
|
- __Grid__, __Flexbox__ and __page layouts__
|
|
- Modal __message windows__
|
|

|
|
|

They come with lots of customization options and can be easily extended to fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To add this package to your project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get github.com/rivo/tview@master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Hello World
|
|
|
|
This basic example creates a box titled "Hello, World!" and displays it in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
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)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|

## Versioning and Backwards-Compatibility
|
|
|
|
I try really hard to keep this project backwards compatible. Your software should not break when you upgrade `tview`. But this also means that some of its shortcomings that were present in the initial versions will remain. In addition, at least for the time being, you won't find any version tags in this repo. The newest version should be the one to upgrade to. It has all the bugfixes and latest features. Having said that, backwards compatibility may still break when:
|
|
|
|
- a new version of an imported package (most likely [`tcell`](https://github.com/gdamore/tcell)) changes in such a way that forces me to make changes in `tview` as well,
|
|
- I fix something that I consider a bug, rather than a feature, something that does not work as originally intended,
|
|
- I make changes to "internal" interfaces such as [`Primitive`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/rivo/tview#Primitive). You shouldn't need these interfaces unless you're writing your own primitives for `tview`. (Yes, I realize these are public interfaces. This has advantages as well as disadvantages. For the time being, it is what it is.)
