# Console Fyne Widget

`Console` is a simple fyne Widget intended for logging messages to a window.

[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/borud/console.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/borud/console)

## Example

A very simple usage example:

```go

package main

import (

    "fmt"

    "time"

    "fyne.io/fyne/v2"

    "fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"

    "github.com/borud/console"

)

func main() {

    app := app.New()

    win := app.NewWindow("Console test")

    win.Resize(fyne.NewSize(1000, 1000))

    

    console := console.NewConsole()

    console.ScrollToBottom = true

    console.MaxLines = 1000

    go func() {

        for i := 0; ; i++ {

            console.Append(fmt.Sprintf("This is log message %d at %s", i, time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339)))

           time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)

        }

    }()

    win.SetContent(console)

    win.ShowAndRun()

}

```

## Building example

There is a slightly more elaborate example included in `cmd/console` which you can build by running

```shell

make

```

This will produce the binary `bin/console`.

## Notes

Big thank you to [Andy Williams](https://github.com/andydotxyz) for suggesting I use the List widget for the log view.

When the next release of Fyne becomes available it should be possible to get rid of the list item separator.

If you have some tips for how I can improve this, you can talk to me on the [Gophers Slack](https://gophers.slack.com/archives/D026HLJ31H7)
