Rustbox is a Rust implementation of termbox.
Currently, this is just a wrapper of the C library by nsf, though my plan is to convert it to be a pure Rust implementation and remove the requirement on the C library.
The original implementation of this was inspired by Aaron Pribadi, so big props to him for the original work.
NOTE This is under development, and the APIs may change as I figure out more how Rust works and as the language itself changes
In your Cargo.toml
add the following:
toml
[dependencies]
rustbox = "0.4.0"
You can also use the current git version by instead adding:
toml
[dependencies.rustbox]
git = "https://github.com/gchp/rustbox.git"
Then, in your src/example.rs
:
```rust
extern crate rustbox;
use std::char; use std::old_io::stdio; use std::error::Error; use std::default::Default;
use rustbox::{Color, Key, RustBox, InitOptions};
fn main() { let rustbox = match RustBox::init(InitOptions { bufferstderr: stdio::stderrraw().isatty(), ..Default::default() }) { Result::Ok(v) => v, Result::Err(e) => panic!("{}", e), };
rustbox.print(1, 1, rustbox::RB_BOLD, Color::White, Color::Black, "Hello, world!");
rustbox.print(1, 3, rustbox::RB_BOLD, Color::White, Color::Black,
"Press 'q' to quit.");
rustbox.present();
loop {
match rustbox.poll_event(false) {
Ok(rustbox::Event::KeyEvent(key)) => {
match key {
Some(Key::Char('q')) => { break; }
_ => { }
}
},
Err(e) => panic!("{}", e.description()),
_ => { }
}
}
} ```
NOTE: this example can also be run with cargo run --example hello-world
.
