Rich Interactive Widgets for Terminal UIs

Godoc Reference Go Report

This Go package provides commonly needed components for terminal based user interfaces.

Screenshot

Among these components are:

  • Input forms (include input/password fields, drop-down selections, checkboxes, and buttons)
  • Navigable multi-color text views
  • Sophisticated navigable table views
  • Selectable lists
  • Flexbox and page layouts
  • Modal message windows
  • An application wrapper

They come with lots of customization options and can be easily extended to fit your needs.

Installation

go get github.com/rivo/tview

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)
	}
}

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.

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. Examples: 

[red[]      will be output as [red]
["123"[]    will be output as ["123"]
[#6aff00[[] will be output as [#6aff00[]

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).

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 text color 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 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 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) GetFocus 

func (a *Application) GetFocus() Primitive

GetFocus returns the primitive which has the current focus. If none has it, nil is returned.

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) 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, autoSize bool) *Application

SetRoot sets the root primitive for this application. This function must be called or nothing will be displayed when the application starts.

It also calls SetFocus() on the primitive.

func (*Box) SetInputCapture added in v0.1.6 

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

SetInputCapture installs a function which captures key events before they are forwarded to the primitive's default key event handler. This function can then choose to forward that key event (or a different one) to the default handler by returning it. If nil is returned, the default handler will not be called.

Providing a nil handler will remove a previously existing handler.

func (*Box) SetRect 

func (b *Box) SetRect(x, y, width, height int)

SetRect sets a new position of the primitive.

func (*Box) SetTitle 

func (b *Box) SetTitle(title string) *Box

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.

	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 Form 

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

Form allows you to combine multiple one-line form elements into a vertical or horizontal layout. Form elements include types such as InputField or Checkbox. These elements can be optionally followed by one or more buttons for which you can define form-wide actions (e.g. Save, Clear, Cancel).

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.

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 

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

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

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:

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 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

	// 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 

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) SetBackgroundColor 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) 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.

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) 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) 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) 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 typically used to cause the application to redraw the screen.

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) SetDynamicColors 

func (t *TextView) SetDynamicColors(dynamic bool) *TextView

SetDynamicColors sets the flag that allows the text color to be changed dynamically. See class description for details.

func (*TextView) SetRegions 

func (t *TextView) SetRegions(regions bool) *TextView

SetRegions sets the flag that allows to define regions in the text. See class description for details.

func (*TextView) SetScrollable 

func (t *TextView) SetScrollable(scrollable bool) *TextView

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) 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.
