# 🪳 Termite

A dependency-free NIF-free terminal library for Elixir.

## Features

 * no dependencies
 * no NIF required by default
 * Is tty
 * support for cursor navigation
 * support for text styles
 * support for ANSI and ANSI-256 styles
 * support for alt screen
 * support for keyboard events

## 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()

```
