Overview ¶
Package tview implements rich widgets for terminal based user interfaces. The widgets provided with this package are useful for data exploration and data entry.
Widgets ¶
The package implements the following widgets:
- TextView: Scrollable windows that display multi-colored text. Text may also be highlighted.
- Table: Scrollable display of tabular data. Table cells, rows, or columns may also be highlighted.
- List: A navigable text list with optional keyboard shortcuts.
- InputField: One-line input fields to enter text.
- DropDown: Drop-down selection fields.
- Checkbox: Selectable checkbox for boolean values.
- Button: Buttons which get activated when the user selects them.
- Form: Forms composed of input fields, drop down selections, checkboxes, and buttons.
- Modal: A centered window with a text message and one or more buttons.
- Flex: A Flexbox based layout manager.
- Pages: A page based layout manager.
The package also provides Application which is used to poll the event queue and draw widgets on screen.
Hello World ¶
The following is a very basic example showing a box with the title "Hello, world!":
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) } }
First, we create a box primitive with a border and a title. Then we create an application, set the box as its root primitive, and run the event loop. The application exits when the application's Stop() function is called or when Ctrl-C is pressed.
If we have a primitive which consumes key presses, we call the application's SetFocus() function to redirect all key presses to that primitive. Most primitives then offer ways to install handlers that allow you to react to any actions performed on them.
More Demos ¶
You will find more demos in the "demos" subdirectory. It also contains a presentation (written using tview) which gives an overview of the different widgets and how they can be used.
Colors ¶
Throughout this package, colors are specified using the tcell.Color type. Functions such as tcell.GetColor(), tcell.NewHexColor(), and tcell.NewRGBColor() can be used to create colors from W3C color names or RGB values.
Almost all strings which are displayed can contain color tags. Color tags are W3C color names or six hexadecimal digits following a hash tag, wrapped in square brackets. Examples:
This is a [red]warning[white]! The sky is [#8080ff]blue[#ffffff].
A color tag changes the color of the characters following that color tag. This applies to almost everything from box titles, list text, form item labels, to table cells. In a TextView, this functionality has to be switched on explicitly. See the TextView documentation for more information.
Color tags may contain not just the foreground (text) color but also the background color and additional flags. In fact, the full definition of a color tag is as follows:
[<foreground>:<background>:<flags>]
Each of the three fields can be left blank and trailing fields can be ommitted. (Empty square brackets "[]", however, are not considered color tags.) Colors that are not specified will be left unchanged. (If the flags field is indicated by a colon but left empty, it will reset any flags.)
You can specify the following flags (some flags may not be supported by your terminal):
l: blink b: bold d: dim r: reverse (switch foreground and background color) u: underline
Examples:
[yellow]Yellow text [yellow:red]Yellow text on red background [:red]Red background, text color unchanged [yellow::u]Yellow text underlined [::bl]Bold, blinking text [::]Colors unchanged, flags reset [:]No effect []Not a valid color tag, will print square brackets as they are
In the rare event that you want to display a string such as "[red]" or "[#00ff1a]" without applying its effect, you need to put an opening square bracket before the closing square bracket. Note that the text inside the brackets will be matched less strictly than region or colors tags. I.e. any character that may be used in color or region tags will be recognized. Examples:
[red[] will be output as [red] ["123"[] will be output as ["123"] [#6aff00[[] will be output as [#6aff00[] [a#"[[[] will be output as [a#"[[] [] will be output as [] (see color tags above) [[] will be output as [[] (not an escaped tag)
Styles ¶
When primitives are instantiated, they are initialized with colors taken from the global Styles variable. You may change this variable to adapt the look and feel of the primitives to your preferred style.
Unicode Support ¶
This package supports unicode characters including wide characters.
Type Hierarchy ¶
All widgets listed above contain the Box type. All of Box's functions are therefore available for all widgets, too.
All widgets also implement the Primitive interface. There is also the Focusable interface which is used to override functions in subclassing types.
The tview package is based on https://github.com/gdamore/tcell. It uses types and constants from that package (e.g. colors and keyboard values).
This package does not process mouse input (yet).

Variables ¶
var ( // InputFieldInteger accepts integers. InputFieldInteger func(text string, ch rune) bool // InputFieldFloat accepts floating-point numbers. InputFieldFloat func(text string, ch rune) bool // InputFieldMaxLength returns an input field accept handler which accepts // input strings up to a given length. Use it like this: // // inputField.SetAcceptanceFunc(InputFieldMaxLength(10)) // Accept up to 10 characters. InputFieldMaxLength func(maxLength int) func(text string, ch rune) bool )
Predefined InputField acceptance functions.
var DefaultFormFieldWidth = 10
DefaultFormFieldWidth is the default field screen width of form elements whose field width is flexible (0). This is used in the Form class for horizontal layouts.
var Styles = struct { PrimitiveBackgroundColor tcell.Color // Main background color for primitives. ContrastBackgroundColor tcell.Color // Background color for contrasting elements. MoreContrastBackgroundColor tcell.Color // Background color for even more contrasting elements. BorderColor tcell.Color // Box borders. TitleColor tcell.Color // Box titles. GraphicsColor tcell.Color // Graphics. PrimaryTextColor tcell.Color // Primary text. SecondaryTextColor tcell.Color // Secondary text (e.g. labels). TertiaryTextColor tcell.Color // Tertiary text (e.g. subtitles, notes). InverseTextColor tcell.Color // Text on primary-colored backgrounds. ContrastSecondaryTextColor tcell.Color // Secondary text on ContrastBackgroundColor-colored backgrounds. }{ PrimitiveBackgroundColor: tcell.ColorBlack, ContrastBackgroundColor: tcell.ColorBlue, MoreContrastBackgroundColor: tcell.ColorGreen, BorderColor: tcell.ColorWhite, TitleColor: tcell.ColorWhite, GraphicsColor: tcell.ColorWhite, PrimaryTextColor: tcell.ColorWhite, SecondaryTextColor: tcell.ColorYellow, TertiaryTextColor: tcell.ColorGreen, InverseTextColor: tcell.ColorBlue, ContrastSecondaryTextColor: tcell.ColorDarkCyan, }
Styles defines various colors used when primitives are initialized. These may be changed to accommodate a different look and feel.
The default is for applications with a black background and basic colors: black, white, yellow, green, and blue.
var TabSize = 4
TabSize is the number of spaces with which a tab character will be replaced.
Functions ¶
func Print ¶
func Print(screen tcell.Screen, text string, x, y, maxWidth, align int, color tcell.Color) (int, int)
Print prints text onto the screen into the given box at (x,y,maxWidth,1), not exceeding that box. "align" is one of AlignLeft, AlignCenter, or AlignRight. The screen's background color will not be changed.
You can change the colors and text styles mid-text by inserting a color tag. See the package description for details.
Returns the number of actual runes printed (not including color tags) and the actual width used for the printed runes.
func PrintJoinedBorder ¶ added in v0.1.11
PrintJoinedBorder prints a border graphics rune into the screen at the given position with the given color, joining it with any existing border graphics rune. Background colors are preserved. At this point, only regular single line borders are supported.
func PrintSimple ¶
PrintSimple prints white text to the screen at the given position.
func StringWidth ¶ added in v0.1.8
StringWidth returns the width of the given string needed to print it on screen. The text may contain color tags which are not counted.
func WordWrap ¶
WordWrap splits a text such that each resulting line does not exceed the given screen width. Possible split points are after any punctuation or whitespace. Whitespace after split points will be dropped.
This function considers color tags to have no width.
Text is always split at newline characters ('\n').
Types ¶
type Application ¶
Application represents the top node of an application.
It is not strictly required to use this class as none of the other classes depend on it. However, it provides useful tools to set up an application and plays nicely with all widgets.
func NewApplication ¶
func NewApplication() *Application
NewApplication creates and returns a new application.
func (*Application) Draw ¶
func (a *Application) Draw() *Application
Draw refreshes the screen. It calls the Draw() function of the application's root primitive and then syncs the screen buffer.
func (*Application) GetAfterDrawFunc ¶ added in v0.1.12
func (a *Application) GetAfterDrawFunc() func(screen tcell.Screen)
GetAfterDrawFunc returns the callback function installed with SetAfterDrawFunc() or nil if none has been installed.
func (*Application) GetBeforeDrawFunc ¶ added in v0.1.12
func (a *Application) GetBeforeDrawFunc() func(screen tcell.Screen) bool
GetBeforeDrawFunc returns the callback function installed with SetBeforeDrawFunc() or nil if none has been installed.
func (*Application) GetFocus ¶
func (a *Application) GetFocus() Primitive
GetFocus returns the primitive which has the current focus. If none has it, nil is returned.
func (*Application) GetInputCapture ¶ added in v0.1.12
func (a *Application) GetInputCapture() func(event *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey
GetInputCapture returns the function installed with SetInputCapture() or nil if no such function has been installed.
func (*Application) ResizeToFullScreen ¶
func (a *Application) ResizeToFullScreen(p Primitive) *Application
ResizeToFullScreen resizes the given primitive such that it fills the entire screen.
func (*Application) Run ¶
func (a *Application) Run() error
Run starts the application and thus the event loop. This function returns when Stop() was called.
func (*Application) SetAfterDrawFunc ¶ added in v0.1.11
func (a *Application) SetAfterDrawFunc(handler func(screen tcell.Screen)) *Application
SetAfterDrawFunc installs a callback function which is invoked after the root primitive was drawn during screen updates.
Provide nil to uninstall the callback function.
func (*Application) SetBeforeDrawFunc ¶ added in v0.1.11
func (a *Application) SetBeforeDrawFunc(handler func(screen tcell.Screen) bool) *Application
SetBeforeDrawFunc installs a callback function which is invoked just before the root primitive is drawn during screen updates. If the function returns true, drawing will not continue, i.e. the root primitive will not be drawn (and an after-draw-handler will not be called).
Note that the screen is not cleared by the application. To clear the screen, you may call screen.Clear().
Provide nil to uninstall the callback function.
func (*Application) SetFocus ¶
func (a *Application) SetFocus(p Primitive) *Application
SetFocus sets the focus on a new primitive. All key events will be redirected to that primitive. Callers must ensure that the primitive will handle key events.
Blur() will be called on the previously focused primitive. Focus() will be called on the new primitive.
func (*Application) SetInputCapture ¶ added in v0.1.6
func (a *Application) SetInputCapture(capture func(event *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey) *Application
SetInputCapture sets a function which captures all key events before they are forwarded to the key event handler of the primitive which currently has focus. This function can then choose to forward that key event (or a different one) by returning it or stop the key event processing by returning nil.
Note that this also affects the default event handling of the application itself: Such a handler can intercept the Ctrl-C event which closes the applicatoon.
func (*Application) SetRoot ¶
func (a *Application) SetRoot(root Primitive, fullscreen bool) *Application
SetRoot sets the root primitive for this application. If "fullscreen" is set to true, the root primitive's position will be changed to fill the screen.
This function must be called at least once or nothing will be displayed when the application starts.

type Flex ¶
type Flex struct { *Box // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Flex is a basic implementation of the Flexbox layout. The contained primitives are arranged horizontally or vertically. The way they are distributed along that dimension depends on their layout settings, which is either a fixed length or a proportional length. See AddItem() for details.
See https://github.com/rivo/tview/wiki/Flex for an example.
func NewFlex ¶
func NewFlex() *Flex
NewFlex returns a new flexbox layout container with no primitives and its direction set to FlexColumn. To add primitives to this layout, see AddItem(). To change the direction, see SetDirection().
func (*Flex) AddItem ¶
AddItem adds a new item to the container. The "fixedSize" argument is a width or height that may not be changed by the layout algorithm. A value of 0 means that its size is flexible and may be changed. The "proportion" argument defines the relative size of the item compared to other flexible-size items. For example, items with a proportion of 2 will be twice as large as items with a proportion of 1. Must be at least 1 if fixedSize > 0 (ignored otherwise)
If "focus" is set to true, the item will receive focus when the Flex primitive receives focus. If multiple items have the "focus" flag set to true, the first one will receive focus.
You can provide a nil value for the primitive. This will still consume screen space but nothing will be drawn.
func (*Flex) RemoveItem ¶ added in v0.1.11

func (*Form) SetItemPadding ¶
SetItemPadding sets the number of empty rows between form items for vertical layouts and the number of empty cells between form items for horizontal layouts.
type FormItem ¶
type FormItem interface { Primitive // GetLabel returns the item's label text. GetLabel() string // SetFormAttributes sets a number of item attributes at once. SetFormAttributes(label string, labelColor, bgColor, fieldTextColor, fieldBgColor tcell.Color) FormItem // GetFieldWidth returns the width of the form item's field (the area which // is manipulated by the user) in number of screen cells. A value of 0 // indicates the the field width is flexible and may use as much space as // required. GetFieldWidth() int // SetEnteredFunc sets the handler function for when the user finished // entering data into the item. The handler may receive events for the // Enter key (we're done), the Escape key (cancel input), the Tab key (move to // next field), and the Backtab key (move to previous field). SetFinishedFunc(handler func(key tcell.Key)) FormItem }
FormItem is the interface all form items must implement to be able to be included in a form.
type Frame ¶
type Frame struct { *Box // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Frame is a wrapper which adds a border around another primitive. The top area (header) and the bottom area (footer) may also contain text.
See https://github.com/rivo/tview/wiki/Frame for an example.
func NewFrame ¶

Set it to false for it to appear in the footer, below the contained primitive. "align" must be one of the Align constants. Rows in the header are printed top to bottom, rows in the footer are printed bottom to top. Note that long text can overlap as different alignments will be placed on the same row.
func (*Frame) SetBorders ¶
SetBorders sets the width of the frame borders as well as "header" and "footer", the vertical space between the header and footer text and the contained primitive (does not apply if there is no text).
type Grid ¶ added in v0.1.11
type Grid struct { *Box // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Grid is an implementation of a grid-based layout. It works by defining the size of the rows and columns, then placing primitives into the grid.
Some settings can lead to the grid exceeding its available space. SetOffset() can then be used to scroll in steps of rows and columns. These offset values can also be controlled with the arrow keys (or the "g","G", "j", "k", "h", and "l" keys) while the grid has focus and none of its contained primitives do.
See https://github.com/rivo/tview/wiki/Grid for an example.
func NewGrid ¶ added in v0.1.11
func NewGrid() *Grid
NewGrid returns a new grid-based layout container with no initial primitives.
func (*Grid) AddItem ¶ added in v0.1.11
func (g *Grid) AddItem(p Primitive, row, column, height, width, minGridHeight, minGridWidth int, focus bool) *Grid
AddItem adds a primitive and its position to the grid. The top-left corner of the primitive will be located in the top-left corner of the grid cell at the given row and column and will span "width" rows and "height" columns. For example, for a primitive to occupy rows 2, 3, and 4 and columns 5 and 6:
grid.AddItem(p, 2, 4, 3, 2, true)
If width or height is 0, the primitive will not be drawn.
You can add the same primitive multiple times with different grid positions. The minGridWidth and minGridHeight values will then determine which of those positions will be used. This is similar to CSS media queries. These minimum values refer to the overall size of the grid. If multiple items for the same primitive apply, the one that has at least one highest minimum value will be used, or the primitive added last if those values are the same. Example:
grid.AddItem(p, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, true). // Hide in small grids. AddItem(p, 0, 0, 1, 2, 100, 0, true). // One-column layout for medium grids. AddItem(p, 1, 1, 3, 2, 300, 0, true) // Multi-column layout for large grids.
To use the same grid layout for all sizes, simply set minGridWidth and minGridHeight to 0.
If the item's focus is set to true, it will receive focus when the grid receives focus. If there are multiple items with a true focus flag, the last visible one that was added will receive focus.
func (*Grid) Blur ¶ added in v0.1.11
func (g *Grid) Blur()
Blur is called when this primitive loses focus.
func (*Grid) GetOffset ¶ added in v0.1.11
GetOffset returns the current row and column offset (see SetOffset() for details).
func (*Grid) InputHandler ¶ added in v0.1.11

func (*Grid) RemoveItem ¶ added in v0.1.11
RemoveItem removes all items for the given primitive from the grid, keeping the order of the remaining items intact.
func (*Grid) SetBorders ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetBorders sets whether or not borders are drawn around grid items. Setting this value to true will cause the gap values (see SetGap()) to be ignored and automatically assumed to be 1 where the border graphics are drawn.
func (*Grid) SetBordersColor ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetBordersColor sets the color of the item borders.
func (*Grid) SetColumns ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetColumns defines how the columns of the grid are distributed. These values behave the same as the row values provided with SetRows(), see there for a definition and examples.
The provided values correspond to column heights, the first value defining the height of the topmost column.
func (*Grid) SetGap ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetGap sets the size of the gaps between neighboring primitives on the grid. If borders are drawn (see SetBorders()), these values are ignored and a gap of 1 is assumed. Panics if negative values are provided.
func (*Grid) SetMinSize ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetMinSize sets an absolute minimum width for rows and an absolute minimum height for columns. Panics if negative values are provided.
func (*Grid) SetOffset ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetOffset sets the number of rows and columns which are skipped before drawing the first grid cell in the top-left corner. As the grid will never completely move off the screen, these values may be adjusted the next time the grid is drawn. The actual position of the grid may also be adjusted such that contained primitives that have focus are visible.
func (*Grid) SetRows ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetRows defines how the rows of the grid are distributed. Each value defines the size of one row, starting with the leftmost row. Values greater 0 represent absolute row widths (gaps not included). Values less or equal 0 represent proportional row widths or fractions of the remaining free space, where 0 is treated the same as -1. That is, a row with a value of -3 will have three times the width of a row with a value of -1 (or 0). The minimum width set with SetMinSize() is always observed.
Primitives may extend beyond the rows defined explicitly with this function. A value of 0 is assumed for any undefined row. In fact, if you never call this function, all rows occupied by primitives will have the same width. On the other hand, unoccupied rows defined with this function will always take their place.
Assuming a total width of the grid of 100 cells and a minimum width of 0, the following call will result in rows with widths of 30, 10, 15, 15, and 30 cells:
grid.SetRows(30, 10, -1, -1, -2)
If a primitive were then placed in the 6th and 7th row, the resulting widths would be: 30, 10, 10, 10, 20, 10, and 10 cells.
If you then called SetMinSize() as follows:
grid.SetMinSize(15, 20)
The resulting widths would be: 30, 15, 15, 15, 20, 15, and 15 cells, a total of 125 cells, 25 cells wider than the available grid width.
type InputField ¶
type InputField struct { *Box // contains filtered or unexported fields }
InputField is a one-line box (three lines if there is a title) where the user can enter text.

func (*Pages) SwitchToPage ¶
SwitchToPage sets a page's visibility to "true" and all other pages' visibility to "false".
type Primitive ¶
type Primitive interface { // Draw draws this primitive onto the screen. Implementers can call the // screen's ShowCursor() function but should only do so when they have focus. // (They will need to keep track of this themselves.) Draw(screen tcell.Screen) // GetRect returns the current position of the primitive, x, y, width, and // height. GetRect() (int, int, int, int) // SetRect sets a new position of the primitive. SetRect(x, y, width, height int) // InputHandler returns a handler which receives key events when it has focus. // It is called by the Application class. // // A value of nil may also be returned, in which case this primitive cannot // receive focus and will not process any key events. // // The handler will receive the key event and a function that allows it to // set the focus to a different primitive, so that future key events are sent // to that primitive. // // The Application's Draw() function will be called automatically after the // handler returns. // // The Box class provides functionality to intercept keyboard input. If you // subclass from Box, it is recommended that you wrap your handler using // Box.WrapInputHandler() so you inherit that functionality. InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p Primitive)) // Focus is called by the application when the primitive receives focus. // Implementers may call delegate() to pass the focus on to another primitive. Focus(delegate func(p Primitive)) // Blur is called by the application when the primitive loses focus. Blur() // GetFocusable returns the item's Focusable. GetFocusable() Focusable }
Primitive is the top-most interface for all graphical primitives.
type Table ¶
type Table struct { *Box // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Table visualizes two-dimensional data consisting of rows and columns. Each Table cell is defined via SetCell() by the TableCell type. They can be added dynamically to the table and changed any time.
The most compact display of a table is without borders. Each row will then occupy one row on screen and columns are separated by the rune defined via SetSeparator() (a space character by default).
When borders are turned on (via SetBorders()), each table cell is surrounded by lines. Therefore one table row will require two rows on screen.
Columns will use as much horizontal space as they need. You can constrain their size with the MaxWidth parameter of the TableCell type.
Fixed Columns ¶
You can define fixed rows and rolumns via SetFixed(). They will always stay in their place, even when the table is scrolled. Fixed rows are always the top rows. Fixed columns are always the leftmost columns.
Selections ¶
You can call SetSelectable() to set columns and/or rows to "selectable". If the flag is set only for columns, entire columns can be selected by the user. If it is set only for rows, entire rows can be selected. If both flags are set, individual cells can be selected. The "selected" handler set via SetSelectedFunc() is invoked when the user presses Enter on a selection.
Navigation ¶
If the table extends beyond the available space, it can be navigated with key bindings similar to Vim:
- h, left arrow: Move left by one column.
- l, right arrow: Move right by one column.
- j, down arrow: Move down by one row.
- k, up arrow: Move up by one row.
- g, home: Move to the top.
- G, end: Move to the bottom.
- Ctrl-F, page down: Move down by one page.
- Ctrl-B, page up: Move up by one page.
When there is no selection, this affects the entire table (except for fixed rows and columns). When there is a selection, the user moves the selection. The class will attempt to keep the selection from moving out of the screen.
Use SetInputCapture() to override or modify keyboard input.
See https://github.com/rivo/tview/wiki/Table for an example.
func (*Table) GetCell ¶
GetCell returns the contents of the cell at the specified position. A valid TableCell object is always returns but it will be uninitialized if the cell was not previously set.
func (*Table) GetColumnCount ¶
GetColumnCount returns the (maximum) number of columns in the table.
func (*Table) GetOffset ¶ added in v0.1.11
GetOffset returns the current row and column offset. This indicates how many rows and columns the table is scrolled down and to the right.
func (*Table) GetRowCount ¶
GetRowCount returns the number of rows in the table.
func (*Table) GetSelectable ¶ added in v0.1.5
GetSelectable returns what can be selected in a table. Refer to SetSelectable() for details.
func (*Table) GetSelection ¶ added in v0.1.6
GetSelection returns the position of the current selection. If entire rows are selected, the column index is undefined. Likewise for entire columns.
func (*Table) InputHandler ¶
InputHandler returns the handler for this primitive.
func (*Table) ScrollToBeginning ¶
ScrollToBeginning scrolls the table to the beginning to that the top left corner of the table is shown. Note that this position may be corrected if there is a selection.
func (*Table) ScrollToEnd ¶
ScrollToEnd scrolls the table to the beginning to that the bottom left corner of the table is shown. Adding more rows to the table will cause it to automatically scroll with the new data. Note that this position may be corrected if there is a selection.
func (*Table) Select ¶
Select sets the selected cell. Depending on the selection settings specified via SetSelectable(), this may be an entire row or column, or even ignored completely.
func (*Table) SetBorders ¶
SetBorders sets whether or not each cell in the table is surrounded by a border.
func (*Table) SetBordersColor ¶
SetBordersColor sets the color of the cell borders.
func (*Table) SetCell ¶
SetCell sets the content of a cell the specified position. It is ok to directly instantiate a TableCell object. If the cell has contain, at least the Text and Color fields should be set.
Note that setting cells in previously unknown rows and columns will automatically extend the internal table representation, e.g. starting with a row of 100,000 will immediately create 100,000 empty rows.
To avoid unnecessary garbage collection, fill columns from left to right.
func (*Table) SetCellSimple ¶
SetCellSimple calls SetCell() with the given text, left-aligned, in white.
func (*Table) SetDoneFunc ¶
SetDoneFunc sets a handler which is called whenever the user presses the Escape, Tab, or Backtab key. If nothing is selected, it is also called when user presses the Enter key (because pressing Enter on a selection triggers the "selected" handler set via SetSelectedFunc()).
func (*Table) SetFixed ¶
SetFixed sets the number of fixed rows and columns which are always visible even when the rest of the cells are scrolled out of view. Rows are always the top-most ones. Columns are always the left-most ones.
func (*Table) SetOffset ¶
SetOffset sets how many rows and columns should be skipped when drawing the table. This is useful for large tables that do not fit on the screen. Navigating a selection can change these values.
Fixed rows and columns are never skipped.
func (*Table) SetSelectable ¶
SetSelectable sets the flags which determine what can be selected in a table. There are three selection modi:
- rows = false, columns = false: Nothing can be selected.
- rows = true, columns = false: Rows can be selected.
- rows = false, columns = true: Columns can be selected.
- rows = true, columns = true: Individual cells can be selected.
func (*Table) SetSelectedFunc ¶
SetSelectedFunc sets a handler which is called whenever the user presses the Enter key on a selected cell/row/column. The handler receives the position of the selection and its cell contents. If entire rows are selected, the column index is undefined. Likewise for entire columns.
func (*Table) SetSelectionChangedFunc ¶ added in v0.1.6
SetSelectionChangedFunc sets a handler which is called whenever the user navigates to a new selection. The handler receives the position of the new selection. If entire rows are selected, the column index is undefined. Likewise for entire columns.
func (*Table) SetSeparator ¶
SetSeparator sets the character used to fill the space between two neighboring cells. This is a space character ' ' per default but you may want to set it to GraphicsVertBar (or any other rune) if the column separation should be more visible. If cell borders are activated, this is ignored.
Separators have the same color as borders.
type TableCell ¶
type TableCell struct { // The text to be displayed in the table cell. Text string // The alignment of the cell text. One of AlignLeft (default), AlignCenter, // or AlignRight. Align int // The maximum width of the cell in screen space. This is used to give a // column a maximum width. Any cell text whose screen width exceeds this width // is cut off. Set to 0 if there is no maximum width. MaxWidth int // If the total table width is less than the available width, this value is // used to add extra width to a column. See SetExpansion() for details. Expansion int // The color of the cell text. Color tcell.Color // The background color of the cell. BackgroundColor tcell.Color // If set to true, this cell cannot be selected. NotSelectable bool // contains filtered or unexported fields }
TableCell represents one cell inside a Table. You can instantiate this type directly but all colors (background and text) will be set to their default which is black.
func NewTableCell ¶ added in v0.1.6
NewTableCell returns a new table cell with sensible defaults. That is, left aligned text with the primary text color (see Styles) and a transparent background (using the background of the Table).
func (*TableCell) GetLastPosition ¶
GetLastPosition returns the position of the table cell the last time it was drawn on screen. If the cell is not on screen, the return values are undefined.
Because the Table class will attempt to keep selected cells on screen, this function is most useful in response to a "selected" event (see SetSelectedFunc()) or a "selectionChanged" event (see SetSelectionChangedFunc()).
func (*TableCell) SetAlign ¶ added in v0.1.6
SetAlign sets the cell's text alignment, one of AlignLeft, AlignCenter, or AlignRight.
func (*TableCell) SetBackgroundColor ¶ added in v0.1.6
SetBackgroundColor sets the cell's background color. Set to tcell.ColorDefault to use the table's background color.
func (*TableCell) SetExpansion ¶ added in v0.1.12
SetExpansion sets the value by which the column of this cell expands if the available width for the table is more than the table width (prior to applying this expansion value). This is a proportional value. The amount of unused horizontal space is divided into widths to be added to each column. How much extra width a column receives depends on the expansion value: A value of 0 (the default) will not cause the column to increase in width. Other values are proportional, e.g. a value of 2 will cause a column to grow by twice the amount of a column with a value of 1.
Since this value affects an entire column, the maximum over all visible cells in that column is used.
This function panics if a negative value is provided.
func (*TableCell) SetMaxWidth ¶ added in v0.1.6
SetMaxWidth sets maximum width of the cell in screen space. This is used to give a column a maximum width. Any cell text whose screen width exceeds this width is cut off. Set to 0 if there is no maximum width.
func (*TableCell) SetSelectable ¶ added in v0.1.6
SetSelectable sets whether or not this cell can be selected by the user.
type TextView ¶
TextView is a box which displays text. It implements the io.Writer interface so you can stream text to it. This does not trigger a redraw automatically but if a handler is installed via SetChangedFunc(), you can cause it to be redrawn.
Navigation ¶
If the text view is scrollable (the default), text is kept in a buffer which may be larger than the screen and can be navigated similarly to Vim:
- h, left arrow: Move left.
- l, right arrow: Move right.
- j, down arrow: Move down.
- k, up arrow: Move up.
- g, home: Move to the top.
- G, end: Move to the bottom.
- Ctrl-F, page down: Move down by one page.
- Ctrl-B, page up: Move up by one page.
If the text is not scrollable, any text above the top visible line is discarded.
Use SetInputCapture() to override or modify keyboard input.
Colors ¶
If dynamic colors are enabled via SetDynamicColors(), text color can be changed dynamically by embedding color strings in square brackets. This works the same way as anywhere else. Please see the package documentation for more information.
Regions and Highlights ¶
If regions are enabled via SetRegions(), you can define text regions within the text and assign region IDs to them. Text regions start with region tags. Region tags are square brackets that contain a region ID in double quotes, for example:
We define a ["rg"]region[""] here.
A text region ends with the next region tag. Tags with no region ID ([""]) don't start new regions. They can therefore be used to mark the end of a region. Region IDs must satisfy the following regular expression:
[a-zA-Z0-9_,;: \-\.]+
Regions can be highlighted by calling the Highlight() function with one or more region IDs. This can be used to display search results, for example.
The ScrollToHighlight() function can be used to jump to the currently highlighted region once when the text view is drawn the next time.
See https://github.com/rivo/tview/wiki/TextView for an example.
func (*TextView) GetHighlights ¶
GetHighlights returns the IDs of all currently highlighted regions.
func (*TextView) GetRegionText ¶
GetRegionText returns the text of the region with the given ID. If dynamic colors are enabled, color tags are stripped from the text. Newlines are always returned as '\n' runes.
If the region does not exist or if regions are turned off, an empty string is returned.
func (*TextView) Highlight ¶
Highlight specifies which regions should be highlighted. See class description for details on regions. Empty region strings are ignored.
Text in highlighted regions will be drawn inverted, i.e. with their background and foreground colors swapped.
Calling this function will remove any previous highlights. To remove all highlights, call this function without any arguments.
func (*TextView) InputHandler ¶
InputHandler returns the handler for this primitive.
func (*TextView) ScrollToBeginning ¶ added in v0.1.6
ScrollToBeginning scrolls to the top left corner of the text if the text view is scrollable.
func (*TextView) ScrollToEnd ¶ added in v0.1.6
ScrollToEnd scrolls to the bottom left corner of the text if the text view is scrollable. Adding new rows to the end of the text view will cause it to scroll with the new data.
func (*TextView) ScrollToHighlight ¶
ScrollToHighlight will cause the visible area to be scrolled so that the highlighted regions appear in the visible area of the text view. This repositioning happens the next time the text view is drawn. It happens only once so you will need to call this function repeatedly to always keep highlighted regions in view.
Nothing happens if there are no highlighted regions or if the text view is not scrollable.
func (*TextView) SetChangedFunc ¶
SetChangedFunc sets a handler function which is called when the text of the text view has changed. This is typically used to cause the application to redraw the screen.
func (*TextView) SetDoneFunc ¶
SetDoneFunc sets a handler which is called when the user presses on the following keys: Escape, Enter, Tab, Backtab. The key is passed to the handler.
func (*TextView) SetDynamicColors ¶
SetDynamicColors sets the flag that allows the text color to be changed dynamically. See class description for details.
func (*TextView) SetRegions ¶
SetRegions sets the flag that allows to define regions in the text. See class description for details.
func (*TextView) SetScrollable ¶
SetScrollable sets the flag that decides whether or not the text view is scrollable. If true, text is kept in a buffer and can be navigated.
func (*TextView) SetText ¶ added in v0.1.11
SetText sets the text of this text view to the provided string. Previously contained text will be removed.
func (*TextView) SetTextAlign ¶ added in v0.1.5
SetTextAlign sets the text alignment within the text view. This must be either AlignLeft, AlignCenter, or AlignRight.
func (*TextView) SetTextColor ¶
SetTextColor sets the initial color of the text (which can be changed dynamically by sending color strings in square brackets to the text view if dynamic colors are enabled).
func (*TextView) SetWordWrap ¶ added in v0.1.5
SetWordWrap sets the flag that, if true and if the "wrap" flag is also true (see SetWrap()), wraps the line at spaces or after punctuation marks. Note that trailing spaces will not be printed.
This flag is ignored if the "wrap" flag is false.
