Vaxis

It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxis

Vaxis is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) library for go. Vaxis supports modern terminal features, such as styled underlines and graphics. A widgets package is provided with some useful widgets.

Vaxis is blazingly fast at rendering. It might not be as fast or efficient as notcurses, but significant profiling has been done to reduce all render bottlenecks while still maintaining the feature-set.

All input parsing is done using a real terminal parser, based on the excellent state machine by Paul Flo Williams. Some modifications have been made to allow for proper SGR parsing (':' separated sub-parameters)

Vaxis does not use terminfo. Support for features is detected through terminal queries. Vaxis assumes xterm-style escape codes everywhere else.

Contributions are welcome.

Usage

Minimal example
package main

import "git.sr.ht/~rockorager/vaxis"

func main() {
	vx, err := vaxis.New(vaxis.Options{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer vx.Close()
	for ev := range vx.Events() {
		switch ev := ev.(type) {
		case vaxis.Resize:
			win := vx.Window()
			vaxis.Clear(win)
			vaxis.Print(win, vaxis.Segment{Text: "Hello, World!"})
			vx.Render()
		case vaxis.Key:
			switch ev.String() {
			case "Ctrl+c":
				return
			}
		}
	}
}

	CellSize() (w int, h int)
}

Image is a static image on the screen

Example

	Text string
	// Keycode is our primary key press. In alternate layouts, this will be
	// the lowercase value of the unicode point
	Keycode rune
	// The shifted keycode of this key event. This will only be non-zero if
	// the shift-modifier was used to generate the event
	ShiftedCode rune
	// BaseLayoutCode is the keycode that would have been generated on a
	// standard PC-101 layout
	BaseLayoutCode rune
	// Modifiers are any key modifier used to generate the event
	Modifiers ModifierMask
	// EventType is the type of key event this was (press, release, repeat,
	// or paste)
	EventType EventType
}

Key is a key event. Codepoint can be either the literal codepoint of the keypress, or a value set by Vaxis to indicate special keys. Special keys have their codepoints outside of the valid unicode range

ClipboardPop requests the content from the system clipboard. ClipboardPop works by requesting the data from the underlying terminal, which responds back with the data. Depending on usage, this could take some time. Callers can provide a context to set a deadline for this function to return. An error will be returned if the context is cancelled.

func (*Vaxis) ClipboardPush

func (vx *Vaxis) ClipboardPush(s string)

ClipboardPush copies the provided string to the system clipboard

func (*Vaxis) Close

func (vx *Vaxis) Close()

Close shuts down the event loops and returns the terminal to it's original state

func (vx *Vaxis) CursorPosition() (row int, col int)

Reports the current cursor position. 0,0 is the upper left corner. Reports -1,-1 if the query times out or fails

func (vx *Vaxis) Notify(title string, body string)

Notify (attempts) to send a system notification. If title is the empty string, OSC9 will be used - otherwise osc777 is used

func (*Vaxis) PollEvent

func (vx *Vaxis) PollEvent() Event

PollEvent blocks until there is an Event, and returns that Event

func (*Vaxis) PostEvent

func (vx *Vaxis) PostEvent(ev Event)

PostEvent inserts an event into the Vaxis event loop

func (*Vaxis) Refresh

func (vx *Vaxis) Refresh()

Refresh forces a full render of the entire screen. Traditionally, this should be bound to Ctrl+l

func (*Vaxis) Render

func (vx *Vaxis) Render()

Render renders the model's content to the terminal

func (*Vaxis) RenderedWidth

func (vx *Vaxis) RenderedWidth(s string) int

RenderedWidth returns the rendered width of the provided string. The result is dependent on if your terminal can support unicode properly.

This is best effort. It will usually be correct, and in the few cases it's wrong will end up wrong in the nicer-rendering way (complex emojis will have extra space after them. This is preferable to messing up the internal model)

This call can be expensive, callers should consider caching the result for strings or characters which will need to be measured frequently

func (*Vaxis) Resume added in v0.1.2

func (vx *Vaxis) Resume() error

Resume returns the application to it's fullscreen state, re-enters raw mode, and reenables input parsing. Upon resuming, a Resize event will be delivered. It is entirely possible the terminal was resized while suspended.

func (*Vaxis) SetMouseShape

func (vx *Vaxis) SetMouseShape(shape MouseShape)

SetMouseShape sets the shape of the mouse

func (*Vaxis) SetTitle

func (vx *Vaxis) SetTitle(s string)

SetTitle sets the terminal's title via OSC 2

func (*Vaxis) ShowCursor

func (vx *Vaxis) ShowCursor(col int, row int, style CursorStyle)

ShowCursor shows the cursor at the given colxrow, with the given style. The passed column and row are 0-indexed and global. To show the cursor relative to a window, use Window.ShowCursor

func (*Vaxis) Suspend added in v0.1.2

func (vx *Vaxis) Suspend() error

Suspend takes Vaxis out of fullscreen state, disables all terminal modes, stops listening for signals, and returns the terminal to it's original state. Suspend can be useful to, for example, drop out of the full screen TUI and run another TUI. The state of vaxis will be retained, so you can reenter the original state by calling Resume

func (*Vaxis) SyncFunc

func (vx *Vaxis) SyncFunc(fn func())

SyncFunc queues a function to be called from the main thread. vaxis will call the function when the event is received in the main thread either through PollEvent or Events. A Redraw event will be sent to the host application after the function is completed

func (*Vaxis) Window

func (vx *Vaxis) Window() Window

Window returns a window the full size of the screen. Child windows can be created from the returned Window

type Window

type Window struct {
	// Vx is a reference to the [Vx] instance
