# termui
[<img src="./_assets/demo.gif" alt="demo cast under osx 10.10; Terminal.app; Menlo Regular 12pt.)" width="512">](./_examples/demo.go)
termui is a cross-platform and fully-customizable terminal dashboard and widget library built on top of [termbox-go](https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go). It is inspired by [blessed-contrib](https://github.com/yaronn/blessed-contrib) and [tui-rs](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) and written purely in Go.
This is a fork of [the original project on GitHub](https://github.com/gizak/termui).
## Features
- 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
## Installation
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.
## Hello World
```go
package main
import (
"log"
ui "git.tebibyte.media/sashakoshka/termui/v3"
"git.tebibyte.media/sashakoshka/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
}
}
}
```
