## Installation
Termite requires OTP-26 or above.
He package can be installed by adding `termite` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:termite, "~> 0.3.0"}
]
end
```
## Examples
It is not recommended to call Termite.Terminal.start() in iex, instead create a script and run it
using `mix run` as it can change the way the terminal works which isn't entirely compatible with
iex.
```elixir
Mix.install([{:termite, "~> 0.3.0"}]
styled =
Termite.Style.bold()
|> Termite.Style.foreground(3)
|> Termite.Style.background(5)
|> Termite.Style.render_to_string("I am bold\n")
Termite.Terminal.start()
|> Termite.Screen.clear_screen()
|> Termite.Screen.cursor_position(0, 0)
|> Termite.Screen.write(styled)
|> tap(fn _ -> :timer.sleep(1000) end)
|> Termite.Screen.alt_screen()
|> Termite.Screen.cursor_position(10, 3)
|> Termite.Screen.write("I'm on an alt screen")
|> tap(fn _ -> :timer.sleep(1000) end)
|> Termite.Screen.exit_alt_screen()
```
