//! # Crossterm
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Have you ever been disappointed when a terminal library for rust was only written for UNIX systems?
|
|
//! Crossterm provides clearing, event (input) handling, styling, cursor movement, and terminal actions for both
|
|
//! Windows and UNIX systems.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Crossterm aims to be simple and easy to call in code. Through the simplicity of Crossterm, you do not
|
|
//! have to worry about the platform you are working with.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! This crate supports all UNIX and Windows terminals down to Windows 7 (not all terminals are tested
|
|
//! see [Tested Terminals](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm/tree/zrzka/docs-update#tested-terminals)
|
|
//! for more info).
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ## Command API
|
|
//!
|
|
//! The command API makes the use of `crossterm` much easier and offers more control over when and how a
|
|
//! command is executed. A command is just an action you can perform on the terminal e.g. cursor movement.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! The command API offers:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! * Better Performance.
|
|
//! * Complete control over when to flush.
|
|
//! * Complete control over where the ANSI escape commands are executed to.
|
|
//! * Way easier and nicer API.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! There are two ways to use the API command:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! * Functions can execute commands on types that implement Write. Functions are easier to use and debug.
|
|
//! There is a disadvantage, and that is that there is a boilerplate code involved.
|
|
//! * Macros are generally seen as more difficult and aren't always well supported by editors but offer an API with less boilerplate code. If you are
|
|
//! not afraid of macros, this is a recommendation.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Linux and Windows 10 systems support ANSI escape codes. Those ANSI escape codes are strings or rather a
|
|
//! byte sequence. When we `write` and `flush` those to the terminal we can perform some action.
|
|
//! For older windows systems a WinApi call is made.
|
|
//!
|

|
|
//! ### Command Execution
|
|
//!
|
|
//! There are two different way's to execute commands:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! * [Lazy Execution](#lazy-execution)
|
|
//! * [Direct Execution](#direct-execution)
|
|
//!
|
|
//! #### Lazy Execution
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Flushing bytes to the terminal buffer is a heavy system call. If we perform a lot of actions with the terminal,
|
|
//! we want to do this periodically - like with a TUI editor - so that we can flush more data to the terminal buffer
|
|
//! at the same time.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Crossterm offers the possibility to do this with `queue`.
|
|
//! With `queue` you can queue commands, and when you call [Write::flush][flush] these commands will be executed.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! You can pass a custom buffer implementing [std::io::Write][write] to this `queue` operation.
|
|
//! The commands will be executed on that buffer.
|
|
//! The most common buffer is [std::io::stdout][stdout] however, [std::io::stderr][stderr] is used sometimes as well.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ##### Examples
|
|
//!
|
|
//! A simple demonstration that shows the command API in action with cursor commands.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Functions:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ```no_run
|
|
//! use std::io::{Write, stdout};
|
|
//! use crossterm::{QueueableCommand, cursor};
|
|
//!
|
|
//! let mut stdout = stdout();
|
|
//! stdout.queue(cursor::MoveTo(5,5));
|
|
//!
|
|
//! // some other code ...
|
|
//!
|
|
//! stdout.flush();
|
|
//! ```
|
|
//!
|
|
//! The [queue](./trait.QueueableCommand.html) function returns itself, therefore you can use this to queue another
|
|
//! command. Like `stdout.queue(Goto(5,5)).queue(Clear(ClearType::All))`.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Macros:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ```no_run
|
|
//! use std::io::{Write, stdout};
|
|
//! use crossterm::{queue, QueueableCommand, cursor};
|
|
//!
|
|
//! let mut stdout = stdout();
|
|
//! queue!(stdout, cursor::MoveTo(5, 5));
|
|
//!
|
|
//! // some other code ...
|
|
//!
|
|
//! // move operation is performed only if we flush the buffer.
|
|
//! stdout.flush();
|
|
//! ```
|
|
//!
|
|
//! You can pass more than one command into the [queue](./macro.queue.html) macro like
|
|
//! `queue!(stdout, MoveTo(5, 5), Clear(ClearType::All))` and
|
|
//! they will be executed in the given order from left to right.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! #### Direct Execution
|
|
//!
|
|
//! For many applications it is not at all important to be efficient with 'flush' operations.
|
|
//! For this use case there is the `execute` operation.
|
|
//! This operation executes the command immediately, and calls the `flush` under water.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! You can pass a custom buffer implementing [std::io::Write][write] to this `execute` operation.
|
|
//! The commands will be executed on that buffer.
|
|
//! The most common buffer is [std::io::stdout][stdout] however, [std::io::stderr][stderr] is used sometimes as well.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ##### Examples
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Functions:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ```no_run
|
|
//! use std::io::{Write, stdout};
|
|
//! use crossterm::{ExecutableCommand, cursor};
|
|
//!
|
|
//! let mut stdout = stdout();
|
|
//! stdout.execute(cursor::MoveTo(5,5));
|
|
//! ```
|
|
//! The [execute](./trait.ExecutableCommand.html) function returns itself, therefore you can use this to queue
|
|
//! another command. Like `stdout.queue(Goto(5,5)).queue(Clear(ClearType::All))`.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Macros:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ```no_run
|
|
//! use std::io::{Write, stdout};
|
|
//! use crossterm::{execute, ExecutableCommand, cursor};
|
|
//!
|
|
//! let mut stdout = stdout();
|
|
//! execute!(stdout, cursor::MoveTo(5, 5));
|
|
//! ```
|
|
//! You can pass more than one command into the [execute](./macro.execute.html) macro like
|
|
//! `execute!(stdout, MoveTo(5, 5), Clear(ClearType::All))` and they will be executed in the given order from
|
|
//! left to right.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ## Examples
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Print a rectangle colored with magenta and use both direct execution and lazy execution.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Functions:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ```no_run
|
|
//! use std::io::{stdout, Write};
|
|
//! use crossterm::{
|
|
//! ExecutableCommand, QueueableCommand,
|
|
//! terminal, cursor, style::{self, Colorize}, Result
|
|
//! };
|
|
//!
|
|
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
|
|
//! let mut stdout = stdout();
|
|
//!
|
|
//! stdout.execute(terminal::Clear(terminal::ClearType::All))?;
|
|
//!
|
|
//! for y in 0..40 {
|
|
//! for x in 0..150 {
|
|
//! if (y == 0 || y == 40 - 1) || (x == 0 || x == 150 - 1) {
|
|
//! // in this loop we are more efficient by not flushing the buffer.
|
|
//! stdout
|
|
//! .queue(cursor::MoveTo(x,y))?
|
|
//! .queue(style::PrintStyledContent( "█".magenta()))?;
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! stdout.flush()?;
|
|
//! Ok(())
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! ```
