tui-clap

Input widgets are not supported by tui-rs out of the box. This crate provides an abstraction of input handling together with clap's command argument parsing.

Getting Started

tui-clap is providing two widgets (input and output) and takes care of parsing the input against a clap app. To get it work three points must be implemented manually: * fetching events must be included in the main loop * output and input widgets must be rendered * arg matches from clap must be handled

The following code demonstrates these three points.

```rust fn main() -> Result<(), io::Error> { let yaml = load_yaml!("cli.yaml"); let clapp = App::from(yaml);

let stdout = io::stdout();
let backend = CrosstermBackend::new(stdout);
let mut terminal = Terminal::new(backend)?;

// Create a TuiClap instance and pass over a function that handles the arg matches
let mut tui = TuiClap::from_app(clapp, handle_matches);

terminal.clear();

loop {
    // your drawing method
    draw(&mut terminal, &mut tui)?;
    // let tui clap handle the input
    tui.fetch_event();
}

}

// your drawing method fn draw(terminal: &mut Terminal, tui: &mut TuiClap) -> io::Result<()>{ terminal.draw(|f| { let size = f.size(); // render the input widget of tui-clap tui.render_input(f, size);

    // render the output widget of tui-clap
    tui.render_output(f, size);
});

Ok(())
