termui is a cross-platform and fully-customizable terminal dashboard and widget library built on top of termbox-go. It is inspired by blessed-contrib and tui-rs and written purely in Go.
Please be aware that due to my fluctuating availability, the frequency of updates to this project may not always follow a consistent schedule. I would like to invite potential maintainers to contribute to this project. If you are interested in becoming a maintainer, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
termui is currently compatible with Go 1.15 (as in go.mod) and above (tracking the Debian's oldstable). Please use the version-numbered branch as stable release. The new changes will be pushed to master branch first and then merge to version branch.
- Several premade widgets for common use cases
- Easily create custom widgets
- Position widgets either in a relative grid or with absolute coordinates
- Keyboard, mouse, and terminal resizing events
- Colors and styling
It is not necessary to go get termui, since Go will automatically manage any imported dependencies for you. Do note that you have to include /v3 in the import statements as shown in the 'Hello World' example below.
Add with dep ensure -add github.com/gizak/termui. With Dep, /v3 should not be included in the import statements.
package main
import (
"log"
ui "github.com/gizak/termui/v3"
"github.com/gizak/termui/v3/widgets"
)
func main() {
if err := ui.Init(); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to initialize termui: %v", err)
}
defer ui.Close()
p := widgets.NewParagraph()
p.Text = "Hello World!"
p.SetRect(0, 0, 25, 5)
ui.Render(p)
for e := range ui.PollEvents() {
if e.Type == ui.KeyboardEvent {
break
}
}
