# 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()
|
||||
```
