FTXUI

Functional Terminal (X) User interface

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

Demo:

Feature

Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React
Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion).
Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试)
No dependencies.
Cross platform:
- Linux (main target)
- Windows (experimental, thanks to mauve@)
- Mac (never tested, but must WORK)

Example:

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