|  | # Quickstart | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | The V `term` module is a module which is made to provide an interactive api that helps building TUI apps. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | # Use | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | You can use the `term` module to either color the output on a terminal or to decide on where to put the output in your terminal. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | For example let's make a simple program which prints colored text in the middle of the terminal. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | ```v | ||||||
|  | import term | ||||||
|  | import os | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | fn main() { | ||||||
|  |         term.clear() // clears the content in the terminal | ||||||
|  |         width, height := term.get_terminal_size() // get the size of the terminal  | ||||||
|  |         term.set_cursor_position(width / 2, height / 2) // now we point the cursor to the middle of  the terminal  | ||||||
|  |         println(term.strikethrough(term.bright_green("hello world")))  // Print green text | ||||||
|  |         term.set_cursor_position(0, height) // Sets the position of the cursor to the bottom of the terminal | ||||||
|  |         mut var := os.input('press q to quit: ') | ||||||
|  |         // Keep prompting until the user presses the q key | ||||||
|  |         for { | ||||||
|  |                 if  var == 'q' { | ||||||
|  |                         break | ||||||
|  |                 } else { | ||||||
|  |                         var = os.input('press q to quit: ') | ||||||
|  |                 } | ||||||
|  |         } | ||||||
|  | } | ||||||
|  | ``` | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | This simple program covers many of the principal aspects of the `term ` module. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | # API | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | Here are some functions you should be aware of in the `term `module: | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | ```v | ||||||
|  | // returns the height and the width of the terminal | ||||||
|  | term.get_terminal_size() (width, height) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // returns the string as green text to be printed on stdout  | ||||||
|  | term.ok_message(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // returns the string as red text to be printed on stdout  | ||||||
|  | term.fail_message(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // returns the string as yellow text to be printed on stdout  | ||||||
|  | term.warning_message(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | //clears the entire terminal and leaves a blank one | ||||||
|  | term.clear() | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // colors the output of the output, the available colors are: black,blue,yellow,green,cyan,gray,bright_blue,bright_green,bright_red,bright_black,bright_cyan | ||||||
|  | term.<color>(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // transforms the given string into bold text | ||||||
|  | term.bold(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // puts a strikethrough into the given string | ||||||
|  | term.strikethrough(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // underlines the given string | ||||||
|  | term.underline(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // colors the background of the outup following the given color, the available colors are: black,blue,yellow,green,cyan,gray | ||||||
|  | term.bg_<color>(string) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // sets the position of the cursor at a given place in the terminal | ||||||
|  | term.set_cursor_position(x,y) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // moves the cursor up | ||||||
|  | term.cursor_up() | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // moves the cursor down | ||||||
|  | term.cursor_down() | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // moves the cursor to the right | ||||||
|  | term.cursor_forward() | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // moves the cursor to the left | ||||||
|  | term.cursor_back() | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // shows the cursor | ||||||
|  | term.show_cursor() | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | // hides the cursor | ||||||
|  | term.hide_cursor() | ||||||
|  | ``` | ||||||
