pterm/pterm
Pterm
pterm is a Go terminal UI library used to build rich command-line interfaces. It provides toolsets for terminal data visualization, operation progress tracking, interactive user input, and structured logging.
The library distinguishes itself through a comprehensive set of visual tools, including a framework for interactive terminal prompts such as selection menus and confirmation dialogs, and a specialized system for rendering bar charts, heatmaps, and tree structures. It also includes a structured terminal logger capable of producing leveled, colorful system messages.
The project covers broad capability areas including layout and formatting, monitoring and observability via progress bars and spinners, and global theme management to maintain a uniform visual identity across the console.
