Rich Interactive

Extends the Rich python library with interactive layouts and tables, allowing seamless navigation and interaction via keyboard shortcuts

Installation

pip install rich_interactive

or using poetry

poetry add rich_interactive

Interactive Tables

You can create interactive tables that can be easily navigated, and you can switch the selection to any of the rows.

from rich import print
from rich.style import Style
from rich_interactive.interactive_table import InteractiveTable as Table

table = Table(
    selected_row=2,
    rotate_selection=True,
    selected_row_style=Style(bgcolor="red"),
)
table.add_column("#")
table.add_column("Column 1")

for row in range(3):
    table.add_row(f"{row}", f"Row {row}")

print("Initial table")
print(table)

table.move_selection_down()

print("Table after moving selection down")
print(table)

Interactive Layouts

You can create interactive layouts that can be easily navigated, and you can switch the selection to any of the children.

from rich.console import Console
from rich.text import Text

from rich_interactive.interactive_panel import InteractivePanel as Panel
from rich_interactive.interactive_layout import InteractiveLayout as Layout


console = Console(width=60, height=15)

layout = Layout()
layout.split(
    Layout(name="header", size=5),
    Layout(name="main", size=5),
    Layout(name="footer", size=5),
)

for child in layout.children:
    child.update(Panel(Text(child.name, style="yellow")))

print("Initial layout:")
print(layout)

layout.switch_selection()

print("After switching selection:")
print(layout)

Future plans

My personal goal, is to prepare a good quality package, which would enable easy navigation with keyboard, like this:
