term

A minimal terminal package in pure go.

intro

term is small (< 1000 lines) terminal interaction library. It compromises a lot on portability and compatibility with various terminals but in exchange it's small enough for you to read in 15 minutes or embed in a bigger project and modify yourself to fit your needs.

features

• Settings the terminal in raw mode
• Reading basic keys and escape code from stdin
• Setting simple terminal attributes (fg, bg, bold, ...)
• Basic terminal actions (moving cursor, clearing the screen, ...)
• Reading and reacting to the terminal size
• Simple API for handling events and keypresses
