FTXUI provides an experimental support for [C++20
modules](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/modules) to improve
compilation times and code organization.

**Example with CMake and Ninja**


```cpp
import ftxui;

int main() {
  auto screen = ftxui::ScreenInteractive::TerminalOutput();
  auto button = ftxui::Button("Click me", screen.QuitClosure());
  screen.Loop(button);
  return 0;
}
```

```sh
cmake \
    -DCMAKE_GENERATOR=Ninja \
    -DFTXUI_BUILD_MODULES=ON \
    ..

ninja
```
> [!NOTE]
> To use modules, you need a C++20 compatible compiler, CMake version 3.20 or
> higher, and use a compatible generator like Ninja. Note that Makefile
> generators **do not support modules**.
