# FTXUI
**Functional Terminal (X) User interface**
A simple C++ library for terminal based user interface.
## Demo:
![Demo image](./examples/component/homescreen.gif)
## Feature
* Functional style. Inspired by
[1](https://hackernoon.com/building-reactive-terminal-interfaces-in-c-d392ce34e649?gi=d9fb9ce35901)
and [React](https://reactjs.org/)
* Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion).
* No dependencies.
## Example:
~~~cpp
vbox(
hbox(
text(L"left") | border,
text(L"middle") | border | flex,
text(L"right") | border
),
gauge(0.5) | border
)
~~~
~~~bash
┌────┐┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐┌─────┐
