Hello World

This basic example creates a box titled "Hello, World!" and displays it in your terminal:

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)
	}
}

Check out the GitHub Wiki for more examples along with screenshots. Or try the examples in the "demos" subdirectory.

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: A scrollable window that display multi-colored text. Text may also be highlighted.
  • Table: A scrollable display of tabular data. Table cells, rows, or columns may also be highlighted.
  • TreeView: A scrollable display for hierarchical data. Tree nodes can be highlighted, collapsed, expanded, and more.
  • 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 omitted. (Empty square brackets "[]", however, are not considered color tags.) Colors that are not specified will be left unchanged. A field with just a dash ("-") means "reset to default".

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
[-]Reset foreground color
[-:-:-]Reset everything
[:]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)

You can use the Escape() function to insert brackets automatically where needed.

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.

Concurrency

Many functions in this package are not thread-safe. For many applications, this may not be an issue: If your code makes changes in response to key events, it will execute in the main goroutine and thus will not cause any race conditions.

If you access your primitives from other goroutines, however, you will need to synchronize execution. The easiest way to do this is to call Application.QueueUpdate() (see its documentation for details): 

go func() {
  app.QueueUpdate(func() {
    table.SetCellSimple(0, 0, "Foo bar")
    app.Draw()
  })
}()

One exception to this is the io.Writer interface implemented by TextView. You can safely write to a TextView from any goroutine. See the TextView documentation for details.

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).

SemigraphicJoints is a map for joining semigraphic (or otherwise) runes. So far only light lines are supported but if you want to change the border styling you need to provide the joints, too. The matching will be sorted ascending by rune value, so you don't need to provide all rune combinations, e.g. (─) + (│) = (┼) will also match (│) + (─) = (┼)

Functions

func ANSIWriter added in v0.1.18 

func ANSIWriter(writer io.Writer) io.Writer

ANSIWriter returns an io.Writer which translates any ANSI escape codes written to it into tview color tags. Other escape codes don't have an effect and are simply removed. The translated text is written to the provided writer.

func Escape added in v0.1.14 

func Escape(text string) string

Escape escapes the given text such that color and/or region tags are not recognized and substituted by the print functions of this package. For example, to include a tag-like string in a box title or in a TextView: 

box.SetTitle(tview.Escape("[squarebrackets]"))
fmt.Fprint(textView, tview.Escape(`["quoted"]`))

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 bytes of the text printed (including color tags) and the actual width used for the printed runes.

func PrintJoinedSemigraphics added in v0.1.17 

func PrintJoinedSemigraphics(screen tcell.Screen, x, y int, ch rune, color tcell.Color)

PrintJoinedSemigraphics prints a semigraphics rune into the screen at the given position with the given color, joining it with any existing semigraphics rune. Background colors are preserved. At this point, only regular single line borders are supported.

func PrintSimple 

func PrintSimple(screen tcell.Screen, text string, x, y int)

PrintSimple prints white text to the screen at the given position.

func StringWidth added in v0.1.8 

func StringWidth(text string) int

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 TranslateANSI added in v0.1.18 

func TranslateANSI(text string) string

TranslateANSI replaces ANSI escape sequences found in the provided string with tview's color tags and returns the resulting string.

func WordWrap 

func WordWrap(text string, width int) (lines []string)

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 

type Application struct {
	sync.RWMutex
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

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) QueueEvent added in v0.1.19 

func (a *Application) QueueEvent(event tcell.Event) *Application

QueueEvent sends an event to the Application event loop.

It is not recommended for event to be nil.

func (*Application) QueueUpdate added in v0.1.19 

func (a *Application) QueueUpdate(f func()) *Application

QueueUpdate is used to synchronize access to primitives from non-main goroutines. The provided function will be executed as part of the event loop and thus will not cause race conditions with other such update functions or the Draw() function.

Note that Draw() is not implicitly called after the execution of f as that may not be desirable. You can call Draw() from f if the screen should be refreshed after each update.

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.

It also calls SetFocus() on the primitive.

func (*Application) SetScreen added in v0.1.18 

func (a *Application) SetScreen(screen tcell.Screen) *Application

SetScreen allows you to provide your own tcell.Screen object. For most applications, this is not needed and you should be familiar with tcell.Screen when using this function. Run() will call Init() and Fini() on the provided screen object.

This function is typically called before calling Run(). Calling it while an application is running will switch the application to the new screen. Fini() will be called on the old screen and Init() on the new screen (errors returned by Init() will lead to a panic).

Note that calling Suspend() will invoke Fini() on your screen object and it will not be restored when suspended mode ends. Instead, a new default screen object will be created.

func (*Application) Stop 

func (a *Application) Stop()

Stop stops the application, causing Run() to return.

func (*Application) Suspend added in v0.1.12 

func (a *Application) Suspend(f func()) bool

Suspend temporarily suspends the application by exiting terminal UI mode and invoking the provided function "f". When "f" returns, terminal UI mode is entered again and the application resumes.

A return value of true indicates that the application was suspended and "f" was called. If false is returned, the application was already suspended, terminal UI mode was not exited, and "f" was not called.

type Box 

type Box struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Box implements Primitive with a background and optional elements such as a border and a title. Most subclasses keep their content contained in the box but don't necessarily have to.

SetDrawFunc sets a callback function which is invoked after the box primitive has been drawn. This allows you to add a more individual style to the box (and all primitives which extend it).

The function is provided with the box's dimensions (set via SetRect()). It must return the box's inner dimensions (x, y, width, height) which will be returned by GetInnerRect(), used by descendent primitives to draw their own content.

func (*Box) SetInputCapture added in v0.1.6 

func (b *Box) SetInputCapture(capture func(event *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey) *Box

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().

Note that Box, the superclass of Flex, will have its background color set to transparent so that any nil flex items will leave their background unchanged. To clear a Flex's background before any items are drawn, set it to the desired color: 

flex.SetBackgroundColor(tview.Styles.PrimitiveBackgroundColor)

func (*Flex) AddItem 

func (f *Flex) AddItem(item Primitive, fixedSize, proportion int, focus bool) *Flex

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. The proportion 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) Draw 

func (f *Flex) Draw(screen tcell.Screen)

Draw draws this primitive onto the screen.

func (*Flex) Focus

func (*Flex) SetDirection 

func (f *Flex) SetDirection(direction int) *Flex

SetDirection sets the direction in which the contained primitives are distributed. This can be either FlexColumn (default) or FlexRow.

func (*Flex) SetFullScreen 

func (f *Flex) SetFullScreen(fullScreen bool) *Flex

SetFullScreen sets the flag which, when true, causes the flex layout to use the entire screen space instead of whatever size it is currently assigned to.

type Focusable

	HasFocus() bool
}

Focusable provides a method which determines if a primitive has focus. Composed primitives may be focused based on the focused state of their contained primitives.

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.

Note that Box, the superclass of Grid, will have its background color set to transparent so that any grid areas not covered by any primitives will leave their background unchanged. To clear a Grid's background before any items are drawn, set it to the desired color: 

grid.SetBackgroundColor(tview.Styles.PrimitiveBackgroundColor)

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) SetBorders added in v0.1.11 

func (g *Grid) SetBorders(borders bool) *Grid

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 

func (g *Grid) SetBordersColor(color tcell.Color) *Grid

SetBordersColor sets the color of the item borders.

func (*Grid) SetColumns added in v0.1.11 

func (g *Grid) SetColumns(columns ...int) *Grid

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 

func (g *Grid) SetGap(row, column int) *Grid

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 

func (g *Grid) SetMinSize(row, column int) *Grid

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 

func (g *Grid) SetOffset(rows, columns int) *Grid

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 

func (g *Grid) SetRows(rows ...int) *Grid

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.

func (*Grid) SetSize added in v0.1.11 

func (g *Grid) SetSize(numRows, numColumns, rowSize, columnSize int) *Grid

SetSize is a shortcut for SetRows() and SetColumns() where all row and column values are set to the given size values. See SetRows() for details on sizes.

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. Use SetAcceptanceFunc() to accept or reject input, SetChangedFunc() to listen for changes, and SetMaskCharacter() to hide input from onlookers (e.g. for password input).

The following keys can be used for navigation and editing:

  • Left arrow: Move left by one character.
  • Right arrow: Move right by one character.
  • Home, Ctrl-A, Alt-a: Move to the beginning of the line.
  • End, Ctrl-E, Alt-e: Move to the end of the line.
  • Alt-left, Alt-b: Move left by one word.
  • Alt-right, Alt-f: Move right by one word.

type Pages 

type Pages struct {
	*Box
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Pages) AddPage 

func (p *Pages) AddPage(name string, item Primitive, resize, visible bool) *Pages

AddPage adds a new page with the given name and primitive. If there was previously a page with the same name, it is overwritten. Leaving the name empty may cause conflicts in other functions.

Visible pages will be drawn in the order they were added (unless that order was changed in one of the other functions). If "resize" is set to true, the primitive will be set to the size available to the Pages primitive whenever the pages are drawn.

ShowPage sets a page's visibility to "true" (in addition to any other pages which are already visible).

func (*Pages) SwitchToPage 

func (p *Pages) SwitchToPage(name string) *Pages

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 NewTable 

func NewTable() *Table

NewTable returns a new table.

func (*Table) Clear 

func (t *Table) Clear() *Table

Clear removes all table data.

func (*Table) Draw 

func (t *Table) Draw(screen tcell.Screen)

Draw draws this primitive onto the screen.

func (*Table) GetCell 

func (t *Table) GetCell(row, column int) *TableCell

GetCell returns the contents of the cell at the specified position. A valid TableCell object is always returned but it will be uninitialized if the cell was not previously set.

func (*Table) GetColumnCount 

func (t *Table) GetColumnCount() int

GetColumnCount returns the (maximum) number of columns in the table.

func (*Table) GetOffset added in v0.1.11 

func (t *Table) GetOffset() (row, column int)

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 

func (t *Table) GetRowCount() int

GetRowCount returns the number of rows in the table.

func (*Table) GetSelectable added in v0.1.5 

func (t *Table) GetSelectable() (rows, columns bool)

GetSelectable returns what can be selected in a table. Refer to SetSelectable() for details.

func (*Table) GetSelection added in v0.1.6 

func (t *Table) GetSelection() (row, column int)

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 

func (t *Table) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p Primitive))

InputHandler returns the handler for this primitive.

func (*Table) ScrollToBeginning 

func (t *Table) ScrollToBeginning() *Table

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 

func (t *Table) ScrollToEnd() *Table

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 

func (t *Table) Select(row, column int) *Table

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 

func (t *Table) SetBorders(show bool) *Table

SetBorders sets whether or not each cell in the table is surrounded by a border.

func (*Table) SetBordersColor 

func (t *Table) SetBordersColor(color tcell.Color) *Table

SetBordersColor sets the color of the cell borders.

func (*Table) SetCell 

func (t *Table) SetCell(row, column int, cell *TableCell) *Table

SetCell sets the content of a cell the specified position. It is ok to directly instantiate a TableCell object. If the cell has content, 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 

func (t *Table) SetCellSimple(row, column int, text string) *Table

SetCellSimple calls SetCell() with the given text, left-aligned, in white.

func (*Table) SetDoneFunc 

func (t *Table) SetDoneFunc(handler func(key tcell.Key)) *Table

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 

func (t *Table) SetFixed(rows, columns int) *Table

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 

func (t *Table) SetOffset(row, column int) *Table

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 

func (t *Table) SetSelectable(rows, columns bool) *Table

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 

func (t *Table) SetSelectedFunc(handler func(row, column int)) *Table

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) SetSelectedStyle added in v0.1.18 

func (t *Table) SetSelectedStyle(foregroundColor, backgroundColor tcell.Color, attributes tcell.AttrMask) *Table

SetSelectedStyle sets a specific style for selected cells. If no such style is set, per default, selected cells are inverted (i.e. their foreground and background colors are swapped).

To reset a previous setting to its default, make the following call: 

table.SetSelectedStyle(tcell.ColorDefault, tcell.ColorDefault, 0)

func (*Table) SetSelectionChangedFunc added in v0.1.6 

func (t *Table) SetSelectionChangedFunc(handler func(row, column int)) *Table

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 

func (t *Table) SetSeparator(separator rune) *Table

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 Borders.Vertical (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

	// The style attributes of the cell.
	Attributes tcell.AttrMask

	// 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 

func NewTableCell(text string) *TableCell

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 

func (c *TableCell) GetLastPosition() (x, y, width int)

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 

func (c *TableCell) SetAlign(align int) *TableCell

SetAlign sets the cell's text alignment, one of AlignLeft, AlignCenter, or AlignRight.

func (*TableCell) SetAttributes added in v0.1.17 

func (c *TableCell) SetAttributes(attr tcell.AttrMask) *TableCell

SetAttributes sets the cell's text attributes. You can combine different attributes using bitmask operations: 

cell.SetAttributes(tcell.AttrUnderline | tcell.AttrBold)

func (*TableCell) SetBackgroundColor added in v0.1.6 

func (c *TableCell) SetBackgroundColor(color tcell.Color) *TableCell

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 

func (c *TableCell) SetExpansion(expansion int) *TableCell

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 

func (c *TableCell) SetMaxWidth(maxWidth int) *TableCell

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 

func (c *TableCell) SetSelectable(selectable bool) *TableCell

SetSelectable sets whether or not this cell can be selected by the user.

func (*TableCell) SetStyle added in v0.1.17 

func (c *TableCell) SetStyle(style tcell.Style) *TableCell

SetStyle sets the cell's style (foreground color, background color, and attributes) all at once.

func (*TableCell) SetText added in v0.1.6 

func (c *TableCell) SetText(text string) *TableCell

SetText sets the cell's text.

func (*TableCell) SetTextColor added in v0.1.6 

func (c *TableCell) SetTextColor(color tcell.Color) *TableCell

SetTextColor sets the cell's text color.

type TextView 

type TextView struct {
	sync.Mutex
	*Box
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

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. (See SetChangedFunc() for more details.)

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 NewTextView 

func NewTextView() *TextView

NewTextView returns a new text view.

func (*TextView) Clear 

func (t *TextView) Clear() *TextView

Clear removes all text from the buffer.

func (*TextView) Draw 

func (t *TextView) Draw(screen tcell.Screen)

Draw draws this primitive onto the screen.

func (*TextView) Focus added in v0.1.19 

func (t *TextView) Focus(delegate func(p Primitive))

Focus is called when this primitive receives focus.

func (*TextView) GetHighlights 

func (t *TextView) GetHighlights() (regionIDs []string)

GetHighlights returns the IDs of all currently highlighted regions.

func (*TextView) GetRegionText 

func (t *TextView) GetRegionText(regionID string) string

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) GetScrollOffset added in v0.1.18 

func (t *TextView) GetScrollOffset() (row, column int)

GetScrollOffset returns the number of rows and columns that are skipped at the top left corner when the text view has been scrolled.

func (*TextView) HasFocus added in v0.1.19 

func (t *TextView) HasFocus() bool

HasFocus returns whether or not this primitive has focus.

func (*TextView) Highlight 

func (t *TextView) Highlight(regionIDs ...string) *TextView

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 

func (t *TextView) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p Primitive))

InputHandler returns the handler for this primitive.

func (*TextView) ScrollTo added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TextView) ScrollTo(row, column int) *TextView

func (*TextView) ScrollToBeginning added in v0.1.6 

func (t *TextView) ScrollToBeginning() *TextView

ScrollToBeginning scrolls to the top left corner of the text if the text view is scrollable.

func (*TextView) ScrollToEnd added in v0.1.6 

func (t *TextView) ScrollToEnd() *TextView

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 

func (t *TextView) ScrollToHighlight() *TextView

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 

func (t *TextView) SetChangedFunc(handler func()) *TextView

SetChangedFunc sets a handler function which is called when the text of the text view has changed. This is useful when text is written to this io.Writer in a separate goroutine. This does not automatically cause the screen to be refreshed so you may want to use the "changed" handler to redraw the screen.

Note that to avoid race conditions or deadlocks, there are a few rules you should follow:

  • You can call Application.Draw() from this handler.
  • You can call TextView.HasFocus() from this handler.
  • During the execution of this handler, access to any other variables from this primitive or any other primitive should be queued using Application.QueueUpdate().

See package description for details on dealing with concurrency.

func (*TextView) SetDoneFunc 

func (t *TextView) SetDoneFunc(handler func(key tcell.Key)) *TextView

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) SetText added in v0.1.11 

func (t *TextView) SetText(text string) *TextView

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 

func (t *TextView) SetTextAlign(align int) *TextView

SetTextAlign sets the text alignment within the text view. This must be either AlignLeft, AlignCenter, or AlignRight.

func (*TextView) SetTextColor 

func (t *TextView) SetTextColor(color tcell.Color) *TextView

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 

func (t *TextView) SetWordWrap(wrapOnWords bool) *TextView

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.

func (*TextView) SetWrap 

func (t *TextView) SetWrap(wrap bool) *TextView

SetWrap sets the flag that, if true, leads to lines that are longer than the available width being wrapped onto the next line. If false, any characters beyond the available width are not displayed.

func (*TextView) Write 

func (t *TextView) Write(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Write lets us implement the io.Writer interface. Tab characters will be replaced with TabSize space characters. A "\n" or "\r\n" will be interpreted as a new line.

type TreeNode added in v0.1.17 

type TreeNode struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*TreeNode) Walk added in v0.1.17 

func (n *TreeNode) Walk(callback func(node, parent *TreeNode) bool) *TreeNode

Walk traverses this node's subtree in depth-first, pre-order (NLR) order and calls the provided callback function on each traversed node (which includes this node) with the traversed node and its parent node (nil for this node). The callback returns whether traversal should continue with the traversed node's child nodes (true) or not recurse any deeper (false).

type TreeView added in v0.1.17 

type TreeView struct {
	*Box
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

TreeView displays tree structures. A tree consists of nodes (TreeNode objects) where each node has zero or more child nodes and exactly one parent node (except for the root node which has no parent node).

The SetRoot() function is used to specify the root of the tree. Other nodes are added locally to the root node or any of its descendents. See the TreeNode documentation for details on node attributes. (You can use SetReference() to store a reference to nodes of your own tree structure.)

Nodes can be selected by calling SetCurrentNode(). The user can navigate the selection or the tree by using the following keys:

  • j, down arrow, right arrow: Move (the selection) down by one node.
  • k, up arrow, left arrow: Move (the selection) up by one node.
  • g, home: Move (the selection) to the top.
  • G, end: Move (the selection) to the bottom.
  • Ctrl-F, page down: Move (the selection) down by one page.
  • Ctrl-B, page up: Move (the selection) up by one page.

Selected nodes can trigger the "selected" callback when the user hits Enter.

The root node corresponds to level 0, its children correspond to level 1, their children to level 2, and so on. Per default, the first level that is displayed is 0, i.e. the root node. You can call SetTopLevel() to hide levels.

If graphics are turned on (see SetGraphics()), lines indicate the tree's hierarchy. Alternative (or additionally), you can set different prefixes using SetPrefixes() for different levels, for example to display hierarchical bullet point lists.

See https://github.com/rivo/tview/wiki/TreeView for an example.

func NewTreeView added in v0.1.17 

func NewTreeView() *TreeView

NewTreeView returns a new tree view.

func (*TreeView) Draw added in v0.1.17

Draw draws this primitive onto the screen.

func (*TreeView) GetCurrentNode added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) GetCurrentNode() *TreeNode

GetCurrentNode returns the currently selected node or nil of no node is currently selected.

func (*TreeView) GetRoot added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) GetRoot() *TreeNode

GetRoot returns the root node of the tree. If no such node was previously set, nil is returned.

func (*TreeView) InputHandler added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p Primitive))

InputHandler returns the handler for this primitive.

func (*TreeView) SetAlign added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetAlign(align bool) *TreeView

SetAlign controls the horizontal alignment of the node texts. If set to true, all texts except that of top-level nodes will be placed in the same column. If set to false, they will indent with the hierarchy.

func (*TreeView) SetChangedFunc added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetChangedFunc(handler func(node *TreeNode)) *TreeView

SetChangedFunc sets the function which is called when the user navigates to a new tree node.

func (*TreeView) SetCurrentNode added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetCurrentNode(node *TreeNode) *TreeView

SetCurrentNode sets the currently selected node. Provide nil to clear all selections. Selected nodes must be visible and selectable, or else the selection will be changed to the top-most selectable and visible node.

This function does NOT trigger the "changed" callback.

func (*TreeView) SetGraphics added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetGraphics(showGraphics bool) *TreeView

SetGraphics sets a flag which determines whether or not line graphics are drawn to illustrate the tree's hierarchy.

func (*TreeView) SetGraphicsColor added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetGraphicsColor(color tcell.Color) *TreeView

SetGraphicsColor sets the colors of the lines used to draw the tree structure.

func (*TreeView) SetPrefixes added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetPrefixes(prefixes []string) *TreeView

SetPrefixes defines the strings drawn before the nodes' texts. This is a slice of strings where each element corresponds to a node's hierarchy level, i.e. 0 for the root, 1 for the root's children, and so on (levels will cycle).

For example, to display a hierarchical list with bullet points: 

treeView.SetGraphics(false).
  SetPrefixes([]string{"* ", "- ", "x "})

func (*TreeView) SetRoot added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetRoot(root *TreeNode) *TreeView

SetRoot sets the root node of the tree.

func (*TreeView) SetSelectedFunc added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetSelectedFunc(handler func(node *TreeNode)) *TreeView

SetSelectedFunc sets the function which is called when the user selects a node by pressing Enter on the current selection.

func (*TreeView) SetTopLevel added in v0.1.17 

func (t *TreeView) SetTopLevel(topLevel int) *TreeView

SetTopLevel sets the first tree level that is visible with 0 referring to the root, 1 to the root's child nodes, and so on. Nodes above the top level are not displayed.
