A Text User Interface library for the Rust programming language

Overview

Cursive

crates.io Build Status (travis) Build status (appveyor) MIT licensed Gitter chat

Cursive is a TUI (Text User Interface) library for rust. It uses ncurses by default, but other backends are available.

It allows you to build rich user interfaces for terminal applications.

Documentation

It is designed to be safe and easy to use:

[dependencies]
cursive = "0.16"

Or to use the latest git version:

[dependencies]
cursive = { git = "https://github.com/gyscos/cursive" }

(You will also need ncurses installed.)

use cursive::views::{Dialog, TextView};

fn main() {
    // Creates the cursive root - required for every application.
    let mut siv = cursive::default();

    // Creates a dialog with a single "Quit" button
    siv.add_layer(Dialog::around(TextView::new("Hello Dialog!"))
                         .title("Cursive")
                         .button("Quit", |s| s.quit()));

    // Starts the event loop.
    siv.run();
}

Third-party views

Here are a few crates implementing new views for you to use:

Showcases

Here are some cool applications using cursive:

  • RustyChat: Chat client made using Rust and Cursive.
  • clock-cli: A clock with stopwatch and countdown timer functionalities.
  • fui: Add CLI & form interface to your program.
  • grin-tui: Minimal implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol.
  • kakikun: A paint and ASCII art application for the terminal.
  • mythra: CLI to search for music.
  • ncspot: Cross-platform ncurses Spotify client.
  • ripasso: A simple password manager written in Rust.
  • rusty-man: Browse rustdoc documentation.
  • so: A terminal interface for Stack Overflow.
  • sudoku-tui: Play sudoku on the command line.

Goals

  • Ease of use. Simple apps should be simple. Complex apps should be manageable.
  • Linux TTY Compatibility. Colors may suffer, and UTF-8 may be too much, but most features must work properly on a Linux TTY.
  • Flexibility. This library should be able to handle simple UI scripts, complex real-time applications, or even games.
    • In particular, it tries to have enough features to recreate these kind of tools:

Compatibility

First off, terminals are messy. A small set of features is standard, but beyond that, almost every terminal has its own implementation.

Output

  • Colors: the basic 8-colors palette should be broadly supported. User-defined colors is not supported in the raw linux TTY, but should work in most terminals, although it's still kinda experimental.
  • UTF-8: Currently Cursive really expects a UTF-8 locale. It may eventually get patched to support window borders on other locales, but it's not a priority. There is initial support for wide characters. RTL support is planned, but still very early.

Input

  • The key_codes example can be a useful tool to see how the library reacts to various key presses.
  • Keep in mind that if the terminal has shortcuts registered, they probably won't be transmitted to the app.
  • UTF-8 input should work fine in a unicode-enabled terminal emulator, but raw linux TTY may be more capricious.

    Example program derived from linear.rs using decoupled UI

    Having time to spend I was toying with an idea the David Simmons offered in one of his blogs (https://cafbit.com/post/cursive_writing_terminal_applications_in_rust/). I took linear.rs and translated it into an mvc lookalike. Because I wanted to see keystrokes as well, I added 'q' and 'Q' to quit the example.

    Let me know if you think it is worth showing, or not. Any way, all praise goes to David Simmons and all critics belong to me alone :-).

    I renamed it mvc-linear to show the difference with linear.

  • Crossterm 0.14

    Crossterm 0.14

    A lot of changes have happened since 0.12, going to skip 0.13 and aim for the coming 0.14 in this PR. Which is going to have a very nice event reading system. People can use this branch if they want to be on the latest crossterm, however, the dependency branch is still a WIP, and changes can still happen and it might be broken sometimes. We do have settled on the public API. So I don't think anything is going to be changed about that.

    • Implemented back/foreground color support
    • Migrated 0.13 changes
    • Migrated 0.14 changes
    • Removed AsyncReader
    • Reordered trait methods
    • Implemented terminal reseize events
    • Cleaned up some code
    • Moved parsing logic into From trait implementations.

  • Investigate alternative backend

    Investigate alternative backend

    Ncurses is nice, but is pretty much terrible.

    Intersting alternatives currently include rustty and termion.

    First step would be to remove references to ncurses types from the public API (there's not a lot left).

  • Absolute Position Layout

    Absolute Position Layout

    First: Suggestion / Help

    Problem description

    Context: I've got a toy re-implementation of React in Rust generating a Virtual DOM. It's already handling layout via Stretch. I'm trying to use Cursive as one 'DOM' backend to show a new novel use case of implementation.

    I'm trying to find the best method to absolute position the views according to my position/size information. Looks like it's not supported? Is my best bet to fork LinearLayout into an absolute view?

    Environment

    • Operating system: Windows
    • Backend used: crossterm
    • Current locale (run locale in a terminal). en_US.UTF-8
    • Cursive version 15

  • [bug/terminator feature] cursive input ending up in 2x vi in different terminal

    [bug/terminator feature] cursive input ending up in 2x vi in different terminal

    When testing a change to an application using Cursive (the application is tupm of david simmons), I found the input that I put into the dialogs in my vi files (that were still open) between the rest of the code. As a terminal emulator I use terminator. I had two terminator windows open and the window1 contained two sub windows, each with one vi open on my code. Window2 was just one terminal window and was where I compiled and executed tupm.

    After testing my change, which was entering a new account, canceling and then entering a new account and saving, I found that the exact data I had input in the dialog, was in both of my vi sessions right in between the code! Plus the status line revealed a weird status "I-C-X" and a remark pertaining to a search of some sort.

    I have included screenprints here of both terminals. The code I was editing I will include in my github repo under gbonnema/tupm and branch separation.

    I have not repeated it yet, but I will after this issue and I will report on the result of it. You see my input for the dialogs in the vi windows in the lines with "gort x x x x" and the next one "madeup me thatissecret myown I just want to add an entry to the database.". The weird(er) thing is that the left vi session has the character "Add" prepended while the right vi session has the characters "impl" prepended to the second line (madeup).

    2019-04-12-cursive-into-vi-part-1 2019-04-12-cursive-into-vi-part-2

    My question for now is: is this a cursive thing, a ncurses thing or a terminator thing? I suspect the code in tupm has nothing to do with it, but I will commit the change to the separation branch.

    I hope you have some idea of what is going on here.

    Kind regards, Guus Bonnema.

    RFC/Announcement: cursive_hexview

    Hi everyone,

    for my project in needed some kind of displaying hexdata so I created a hexview which is accessable via https://github.com/hellow554/cursive_hexview

    Please, feel free to file any issues, pullrequests, doc changes, more cats pics, everything. I would really like to get some feedback, because it's my first published rust project.

    One particular thing I noticed is, that I can't use with_id or *_height/width methods on the view. What is necessary to be able to use them @gyscos ?

    Anyhow, you are welcome to use is, commend it, fork it, change it with any ideas you might have.

    Crossterm implementation for Cursive

    This PR is implementing crossterm for Cursive. It is still a work in progress and has to be tested more. Down below you will find a list of thing that has to be checked or tested.

    • [X] Keyboard Input Handling
    • [X] Coloring
    • [x] Mouse input Handling
      • [X] Linux
      • [x] Windows (seems to not always capture mouse)

  • [FEATURE] StackView shouldn't layout and draw hidden layers

    [FEATURE] StackView shouldn't layout and draw hidden layers

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. StackView lays out and draws all layers, even if they are not visible. If you have a Stack of a bunch of fullscreen layers, it doesn't make any sense to layout and draw any but the front layer. However, StackView always calls layout/draw on all layers. You need a custom view and some hacks (like checking if the printer is focused in draw) to avoid this.

    Describe the solution you'd like StackView should be clever enough to not call layout/draw on layers that are not being shown.

    Describe alternatives you've considered As above, custom views can hack around this.

  • [FEATURE] Ability to clear SelectView's selection and focus

    [FEATURE] Ability to clear SelectView's selection and focus

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a few specific events that basically invalidate any selections/focus in my SelectViews. These are cumbersome to handle with the current available access to SelectView.

    Describe the solution you'd like .clear_selection() that would get rid of any selections/focus made, meaning no selection is highlighted (even when focus has already been lost) and no selection is returned by .selection().

    Describe alternatives you've considered Right now I resorted to .clear() and rebuilding the view, but that's a waste if I could just call a function to clear any selections/focus made in SelectViews.

  • [BUG] Views not visible (or hidden) slow ScrollView down significantly

    [BUG] Views not visible (or hidden) slow ScrollView down significantly

    Describe the bug I think ScrollView slows down exponentially based on the content inside, even if that content isn't visible, or is hidden.

    To Reproduce I have this layout hierarchy right now (naming excluded):

    > ResizedView
        > LinearLayout
            > PaddedView (header)
               > TextView
               > HideableView (hidden)
                   > ScrollView
                       > DebugView
               > HideableView (hidden)
                   > ScrollView
                       > LoggerView
            > ResizedView
              > AlignedView
                 > ScrollView
                     > LinearLayout
                         > PaddedView
                            > TextView
    ** Repeating element **
                     > LinearLayout (one section containing a title and a list of (expandable) items)
                         > TextView (section header basically)
                         > HideableView (might be hidden)
                             > ScrollView
                                 > ListView
                                     > TextView
    ** Repeating element **
        > PaddedView (footer)
            > TextView
    

    Expected behavior Faster draws if only 40 lines of text are actually displayed, and approximately 1000 in all the visible views.

  • [BUG] `scroll_to_bottom()` scrolls to one line above the bottom with default scroll strategy

    [BUG] `scroll_to_bottom()` scrolls to one line above the bottom with default scroll strategy

    Consider the following code:

    use cursive::traits::{Nameable, Resizable, Scrollable};
    use cursive::views::{EditView, LinearLayout, ScrollView, TextView};
    use cursive::Cursive;
    
    fn main() {

        siv.add_fullscreen_layer(
            LinearLayout::vertical()
                .child(
                    LinearLayout::vertical()
                        .scrollable()
                        .with_name("chatbox")
                        .full_height(),
                )
                .child(
                    EditView::new()
                        .on_submit(sendtext)
                        .with_name("input")
                        .full_width(),
                ),
        );
        siv.run();
    }
    
    fn sendtext(s: &mut Cursive, line: &str) {
        s.call_on_name("chatbox", |view: &mut ScrollView<LinearLayout>| {
            view.get_inner_mut().add_child(TextView::new(line));
            view.scroll_to_bottom()
        });
        s.call_on_name("input", |view: &mut EditView| view.set_content(""));
    }
    

    My expectation is that, once enough lines have been submitted to fill up "chatbox", submitting another line will lead to that new line being visible on the row immediately above "input" due to the call to view.scroll_to_bottom(). In actuality, once "chatbox" is full, like so:

    Screen Shot 2022-11-18 at 18 45 38

    entering another line ("Line 24") will result in that new line being below the current-displayed portion of the ScrollView:

    If another line ("Line 25") after that is entered, Line 24 will become visible, but Line 25 will remain unshown:

    Screen Shot 2022-11-18 at 18 45 56

    And likewise after entering Line 26:

    Screen Shot 2022-11-18 at 18 46 10

    If "chatbox" is then manually scrolled to the bottom (producing the visual result I expected in the first place):

    Screen Shot 2022-11-18 at 18 46 23

    Entering another line will return it to the old behavior:

    Screen Shot 2022-11-18 at 18 46 31

    Unlike #651, scroll_to_bottom() is indeed doing something, as removing that line results in the ScrollView never scrolling down no matter how many new lines are added.

  • [FEATURE] Detect name collisions

    [FEATURE] Detect name collisions

    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At this point in time, cursive does not detect when multiple views are given the same name. Puzzling debugging sessions may ensue as call_on_name calls reach the wrong target.

    Describe the solution you'd like Cursive should detect this API usage error and handle it. Panicking would most likely be appropriate here.

    Describe alternatives you've considered

    • APIs that name views, such as Nameable::with_name, could return a type that can handle the possibility of error, such as an Option or Result.
    • These APIs could automatically generate derived names e.g. "RequestedName#123" and return that when a requested name is already taken.
    • Usage of user-defined names could be replaced by collision-free alternatives, such as 64-bit integers generated by a global atomic counter.

    However, I think this is too much of an edge case to justify expending so much implementation care and/or API surface on it.

  • [BUG] Terminal unresponsive when using Cursive with crossterm-backend and echo

    [BUG] Terminal unresponsive when using Cursive with crossterm-backend and echo

    (UPDATE: The bug is due to https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/issues/500 and there is work in progress to fix it at https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/pull/711)

    The bug seems to be unique to the crossterm-backend, so I'm reporting the bug here: https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/issues/725

    The rest of this text is copy/paste from the link above.

    Describe the bug

    Terminal is unresponsive when using Crossterm and Cursive, when enabling Cursive feature crossterm-backend.

    Specifically, Cursive launches the TUI, but it doesn't respond to key presses.

    For comparison, the same app works fine with other Cursive backends, including ncurses, pancurses, termion.

    To Reproduce

    Minimal reproduction code.

    File Cargo.toml includes:

    [dependencies]
    cursive = { version = "*", features = ["crossterm-backend"] }
    

    File main.rs:

    fn main() {
        let mut c = cursive::crossterm();
        c.run();
    }
    

    Run:

    ./target/debug/demo
    

    Cursive shows a blank screen, as expected.

    Press ctrl-c to exit, as expected.

    Run:

    echo "" | ./target/debug/demo
    

    Cursive shows a blank screen, as expected.

    Press ctrl-c to exit-- but it doesn't work. This is the bug. A real-world app with more kinds of inputs has all of the fail, such as for Checkbox, EditView, tec.

    Expected behavior

    Expected: Cursive responds to keys.

    Actual: Cursive does not responds to keys.

    I've confirmed this problem happens with other kinds of UI/UX, such as other keypresses, and also by using other Cursive functionality, such as a TextView, or EditView, or Button, etc.

    OS

    macOS Ventura 13.0 on a MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max chip

    Terminal/Console

    macOS Terminal app i.e. the default macOS terminal application

    Question

    When the Crossterm documentation states "It supports all UNIX and Windows terminals down to Windows 7", does Crossterm currently support UNIX on macOS with Apple M1? I ask because I see some past posts that discuss Crossterm macOS M1 issues/incompatibilities/roadmaps.

    If yes, then what's the next step please, to troubleshoot this bug?

    If no, then could a maintainer edit to the README and documentation to note that Crossterm is currently not intending to be run on macOS with Apple M1?

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Source code(tar.gz)
    Source code(zip)
  • 0.9.0(Jul 26, 2018)

    This releases is quite large and includes some breaking changes:

    • Cursive::new() has been renamed Cursive::default(). Cursive::new is now used to select a backend, allowing third-party backends.
    • Scrolling is now handled by a new view wrapper, ScrollView. For TextView, SelectView and ListView, it is opt-in, by wrapping it in a ScrollView or calling .scrollable() from the Scrollable trait.
    • Cursive::cb_sink() now returns a crossbeam_channel::Sender instead of chan::Sender. The API is mostly similar.
    • SelectView::selection now returns a Option<Rc<T>> instead of panicking on an empty list.
    • The features of AnyView have been merged into the regular View, so you should not need to use AnyView directly, and can only use View.
    • Vec4 has been renamed to Margins.

    In addition, many non-breaking changes are present as well:

    • Callbacks sent through Cursive::cb_sink() are now processed instantly, without the need for set_fps.
    • Backends are now a dynamic choice rather than a comile-time selection.
      • This means library do not need to bother with backend features anymore
      • Features are still there to add available backends, but they are mutually compatible.
    • Events are batch-processed, resulting in higher performance when a lot of events are sent at once (for instance when scrolling with the mouse).
    • Some methods now return a callback:
      • SelectView::{set_selection, select_up, select_down, remove_item}
      • EditView::{set_content, insert, remove}
    • API additions:
      • StackView::find_layer_from_id
      • SelectView::insert_item
      • TextArea::{enable, disable}
      • rect::Rect
    • Various bugfixes
