<p>You can build a text-based interface that will run in the terminal using Dioxus.</p>
<p><img src="https://github.com/DioxusLabs/rink/raw/master/examples/example.png" alt="Hello World screenshot" /></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: this book was written with HTML-based platforms in mind. You might be able to follow along with TUI, but you'll have to adapt a bit.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="support"><a class="header" href="#support">Support</a></h2>
<p>TUI support is currently quite experimental. But, if you're willing to venture into the realm of the unknown, this guide will get you started.</p>
<ul>
<li>It uses flexbox for the layout</li>
<li>It only supports a subset of the attributes and elements</li>
<li>Regular widgets will not work in the tui render, but the tui renderer has its own widget components that start with a capital letter. See the <a href="https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/blob/master/packages/dioxus-tui/examples/widgets.rs">widgets example</a></li>
<li>1px is one character line height. Your regular CSS px does not translate</li>
<li>If your app panics, your terminal is wrecked. This will be fixed eventually</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="getting-set-up"><a class="header" href="#getting-set-up">Getting Set up</a></h2>
<p>Start by making a new package and adding Dioxus and the TUI renderer as dependancies.</p>
<pre><code class="language-shell">cargo new --bin demo
cd demo
cargo add dioxus
cargo add dioxus-tui
</code></pre>
<p>Then, edit your <code>main.rs</code> with the basic template.</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2018">#![allow(non_snake_case)]
// import the prelude to get access to the `rsx!` macro and the `Scope` and `Element` types
use dioxus::prelude::*;
fn main() {
// launch the app in the terminal
dioxus_tui::launch(App);
}
// create a component that renders a div with the text &quot;Hello, world!&quot;
fn App(cx: Scope) -&gt; Element {
cx.render(rsx! {
div {
&quot;Hello, world!&quot;
}
})
}
</code></pre></pre>
<p>To run our app:</p>
<pre><code class="language-shell">cargo run
</code></pre>
<p>Press &quot;ctrl-c&quot; to close the app. To switch from &quot;ctrl-c&quot; to just &quot;q&quot; to quit you can launch the app with a configuration to disable the default quit and use the root TuiContext to quit on your own.</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2018">// todo remove deprecated
#![allow(non_snake_case, deprecated)]
use dioxus::events::{KeyCode, KeyboardEvent};
use dioxus::prelude::*;
use dioxus_tui::TuiContext;
fn main() {
dioxus_tui::launch_cfg(
App,
dioxus_tui::Config::new()
.without_ctrl_c_quit()
// Some older terminals only support 16 colors or ANSI colors
// If your terminal is one of these, change this to BaseColors or ANSI
.with_rendering_mode(dioxus_tui::RenderingMode::Rgb),
);
}
fn App(cx: Scope) -&gt; Element {
let tui_ctx: TuiContext = cx.consume_context().unwrap();
cx.render(rsx! {
div {
width: &quot;100%&quot;,
height: &quot;10px&quot;,
background_color: &quot;red&quot;,
justify_content: &quot;center&quot;,
align_items: &quot;center&quot;,
onkeydown: move |k: KeyboardEvent| if let KeyCode::Q = k.key_code {
tui_ctx.quit();
},
&quot;Hello world!&quot;
}
})
}
