FTXUI

Functional Terminal (X) User interface

A simple C++ library for terminal based user interface.

Demo:

Feature

• Functional style. Inspired by 1(https://hackernoon.com/building-reactive-terminal-interfaces-in-c-d392ce34e649?gi=d9fb9ce35901) and React
• Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion).
• Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). (% except combining characters)
• No dependencies.
• Cross platform (mostly). Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental).
• Keyboard & mouse navigation.

Operating systems

Example:

  vbox({
    hbox({
      text(L"left") | border,
      text(L"middle") | border | flex,
      text(L"right") | border,
    }),
    gauge(0.5) | border,
  });
