About

Declarative TUI (Terminal User Interface) library, with layout features modelled after modern web components.

Widget objects can be created by defining a class that inherits from the desired widget class.

For example, a CSS flexbox-style widget that contains a text box and a button can be created declaratively, like so:

class NiceFlexBox(widgets.FlexBox):
    text_box = widgets.TextBox(text="Hello World!")
    button   = widgets.Button(label="Button 2", callback=None)
    
    class Meta:
        border_label = "Nice FlexBox"

nice_flex_box = NiceFlexBox()

or imperatively, like so:

children = {
    'text_box': widgets.TextBox(text="Hello World!"),
    'button':   widgets.Button(label="Button 2", callback=None)
}

nice_flex_box = widgets.FlexBox(children=children, border_label="Nice FlexBox")

Tanmatsu supports either style. The declarative syntax should be familiar with anyone who's used Django models before.

Example

which is given by the code:

from tanmatsu import Tanmatsu, widgets

class ButtonList(widgets.List):
    class Meta:
        border_label = "List"
        children = [
            widgets.Button(label="Button 1", callback=None),
            widgets.Button(label="Button 2", callback=None),
            widgets.Button(label="Button 3", callback=None),
        ]
        item_height = 5

class VertSplit(widgets.FlexBox):
    text_box = widgets.TextBox(border_label="Text Box", text="Hello World!")
    text_log = widgets.TextLog(border_label="Text Log")
    button_list = ButtonList()
    
    class Meta:
        flex_direction = widgets.FlexBox.HORIZONTAL


with Tanmatsu(title="Tanmatsu!") as t:
    rw = VertSplit()
    t.set_root_widget(rw)
    
    for (i, v) in enumerate(rw.button_list.children):
        v.callback = lambda i=i: rw.text_log.append_line(f"Button {i + 1} pressed")
    
    t.loop()
