#include <ftxui/dom/elements.hpp>
#include <ftxui/screen/screen.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
using namespace ftxui;
Element document = hbox({
text("left") | border,
text("middle") | border | flex,
text("right") | border,
});
auto screen = Screen::Create(Dimension::Full(), Dimension::Fit(document));
Render(screen, document);
screen.Print();
}
