  139. <p>You can build a text-based interface that will run in the terminal using Dioxus.</p>

  141. <blockquote>
  142. <p>Note: this book was written with HTML-based platforms in mind. You might be able to follow along with TUI, but you'll have to adapt a bit.</p>

  144. <h2 id="support"><a class="header" href="#support">Support</a></h2>
  145. <p>TUI support is currently quite experimental. But, if you're willing to venture into the realm of the unknown, this guide will get you started.</p>
  146. <ul>
  147. <li>It uses flexbox for the layout</li>
  148. <li>It only supports a subset of the attributes and elements</li>
  149. <li>Regular widgets will not work in the tui render, but the tui renderer has its own widget components that start with a capital letter. See the <a href="https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/blob/master/packages/dioxus-tui/examples/widgets.rs">widgets example</a></li>
  150. <li>1px is one character line height. Your regular CSS px does not translate</li>
  151. <li>If your app panics, your terminal is wrecked. This will be fixed eventually</li>
  152. </ul>
  153. <h2 id="getting-set-up"><a class="header" href="#getting-set-up">Getting Set up</a></h2>
  154. <p>Start by making a new package and adding Dioxus and the TUI renderer as dependancies.</p>
  155. <pre><code class="language-shell">cargo new --bin demo
  156. cd demo
  157. cargo add dioxus
  158. cargo add dioxus-tui
  159. </code></pre>
  160. <p>Then, edit your <code>main.rs</code> with the basic template.</p>
  161. <pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2018">#![allow(non_snake_case)]

  164. fn main() {
  165. // launch the app in the terminal

  177. <p>To run our app:</p>
  178. <pre><code class="language-shell">cargo run
  179. </code></pre>
  180. <p>Press &quot;ctrl-c&quot; to close the app. To switch from &quot;ctrl-c&quot; to just &quot;q&quot; to quit you can launch the app with a configuration to disable the default quit and use the root TuiContext to quit on your own.</p>
