**FTXUI** is simple cross-platform C++ library for terminal based user interfaces!
# Feature
* Functional style. Inspired by
[1](https://hackernoon.com/building-reactive-terminal-interfaces-in-c-d392ce34e649?gi=d9fb9ce35901)
and [React](https://reactjs.org/)
* No dependencies
* **Cross platform**.
* Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion)
* Keyboard & mouse navigation.
* Support for [UTF8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8) and [fullwidth chars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) (→ 测试)
* Support for animations. [Demo 1](https://arthursonzogni.github.io/FTXUI/examples/?file=component/menu_underline_animated_gallery), [Demo 2](https://arthursonzogni.github.io/FTXUI/examples/?file=component/button_style)
* Support for drawing. [Demo](https://arthursonzogni.github.io/FTXUI/examples/?file=component/canvas_animated)
* Learn by [examples](#documentation), and [tutorials](#documentation)
* Multiple build system and packages:
* Good practices: documentation, tests, fuzzers, performance tests, automated CI, automated packaging, etc...
# Example
```cpp
#include <ftxui/dom/elements.hpp>
#include <ftxui/screen/screen.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
using namespace ftxui;
// Create a simple document with three text elements.
Element document = hbox({
text("left") | border,
text("middle") | border | flex,
text("right") | border,
});
// Create a screen with full width and height fitting the document.
auto screen = Screen::Create(
Dimension::Full(), // Width
Dimension::Fit(document) // Height
);
// Render the document onto the screen.
Render(screen, document);
// Print the screen to the console.
screen.Print();
}
```
Expected output:
```
┌────┐┌────────────────────────────────────┐┌─────┐
│left││middle ││right│
└────┘└────────────────────────────────────┘└─────┘
```
