Gocui
gocui is a console user interface library for the Go programming language. It provides a toolkit for building interactive terminal applications using a layout engine that organizes overlapping rectangular views and coordinates.
The library features a terminal input handler to capture and map keyboard shortcuts and mouse events to specific application actions. It includes an ANSI escape sequence parser to manage text attributes, colors, and cursor positioning.
The framework covers interface view management and overlapping window layering, allowing for a structured arrangement of content. Rendering capabilities include coordinate-based character placement and colored text to organize information within the terminal.
Features
- Terminal User Interface Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive framework for building interactive, text-based user interfaces in Go using structured layouts.
- Terminal Escape Sequence Parsers - Includes a parser for interpreting ANSI escape sequences to manage text attributes and layout formatting.
- Terminal Escape Sequences - Provides low-level terminal control by parsing escape sequences for cursor positioning and text attributes.
- Terminal Input Handlers - Implements a mechanism to capture and process raw keyboard and mouse events in terminal environments.
- Character-Based Plotting - Provides a mechanism for rendering user interface elements on a two-dimensional grid using text characters.
- ANSI Escape Sequence Renderers - Implements an engine that generates ANSI escape codes to control text colors and cursor positions in the terminal.
- TUI Window Layering - Manages overlapping interface elements by maintaining a z-order of views during the rendering process.
- Coordinate-Based Character Rendering - Implements precise character placement at specific coordinates with custom colors to build complex terminal layouts.
- View Hierarchies - Organizes the screen into a structural hierarchy of rectangular views that can be positioned independently.
- State Redraw Loops - Implements state-based redrawing loops to update modified regions of the terminal display.
- Go TUI Libraries - Serves as a specialized library for creating text-based user interfaces using the Go programming language.
- TUI - Provides a framework for organizing overlapping rectangular views and coordinates within a console display.
- Terminal View Layering - Supports layering multiple windows on top of each other to organize the terminal interface.
- Terminal View Management - Enables the definition and positioning of rectangular areas to organize structural layouts in the terminal.
- Mouse Input Handlers - Processes terminal mouse events such as clicks and movements to create interactive interface elements.
- Interactive CLI Tooling - Provides tooling for building command-line interfaces that respond dynamically to mouse clicks and keyboard events.
- Keyboard Shortcuts - Allows mapping of specific keyboard inputs to trigger application actions across the TUI.
- Event-Driven Input Handlers - Ships an event-driven system that routes keyboard and mouse inputs to specific handler functions based on the active view.
- Terminal Text Coloring - Provides capabilities to apply different colors to text to visually distinguish various interface elements.
- TUI Layout Design - Enables the creation of visual arrangements using overlapping windows and colored text to organize information.
