OSUI is a customizable terminal user interface (TUI) library written in Rust. It provides a set of components to build interactive command-line interfaces with ease.

Features

Define and manage UI components.
Handle keyboard input seamlessly.
Create complex layouts using nested elements.
Customizable element sizes and styles.

Getting Started

To use OSUI in your project, include it in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
osui = "0.2"  # Replace with the latest version

Example Usage

Here’s a simple example of how to create a basic UI with OSUI:

use osui::{rsx, app::run, ui::*};

fn main() {
    run(&mut rsx! {
        text { "Hello, World!" }
    });
}

Modules

element: Defines base elements and their behavior.
key: Handles keyboard input and mapping.
utils: Provides utility functions for common TUI tasks.
ui: Contains user interface components and layout management.

Elements

ElementSize

Defines the size of an element, either as a default size or a custom size.

Element Trait

The core trait for all UI components, requiring the implementation of methods to retrieve data, update dimensions, render output, and handle updates based on user input.

Commands

The library supports several commands that can be triggered during the application’s lifecycle:

Render: Re-render an element with the given state.
Update: Update an element's state based on user input.
Sleep: Pause execution for a specified duration.
Exit: Terminate the application gracefully.

Macros

OSUI provides several macros to simplify the definition and usage of elements:

element!: Define a new UI element with customizable properties and behaviors.
rsx!: Create a nested structure of UI components easily.
command!: Simplify command creation for updates.
