iocraft is a library for crafting beautiful text output and interfaces for the terminal or logs. It allows you to easily build complex layouts and interactive elements using a declarative API.
iocraft was inspired by Dioxus and Ink.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Define your UI using a clean, highly readable syntax.
- Organize your UI using flexbox layouts powered by taffy.
- Output colored and styled UIs to the terminal or ASCII output anywhere else.
- Create animated or interactive elements with event handling and hooks.
- Build fullscreen terminal applications with ease.
- Pass props and context by reference to avoid unnecessary cloning.
- Broad support for both Unix and Windows terminals so your UIs look great everywhere.
