README
Welcome to cursive-aligned-view 👋
A view wrapper for
gyscos/cursive
views which aligns child views
---
This project provides an `AlignedView` for [gyscos/cursive](https://github.com/gyscos/cursive) views which makes it possible to align the child view (center, left, right, top, bottom). The `AlignedView` uses the `required_size` reported by the child view and fills the rest of the available space with the views background color.
## How does it look like? `demo` [](https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer)

## Usage
Simply add to your `Cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
cursive-aligned-view = "^0"
```
### Aligning a child view
The easiest way to align a view is via the `Alignable` trait:
```rust
use cursive_aligned_view::Alignable;
let aligned = child_view.align_center();
```
This is the preferred way as it is *chainable* and consistent with cursive's `Boxable` and `Identifiable` traits.
As an alternative you can use the `AlignedView` constructors directly:
```rust
use cursive_aligned_view::AlignedView;
let aligned = AlignedView::with_center(child_view);
```
Look into the [documentation](https://docs.rs/cursive-aligned-view) for a detailed explanation on the API.
### Supported Alignments
| Alignment | Construction method |
|---------------|-----------------------|
| top left | `align_top_left` |
| top center | `align_top_center` |
| top right | `align_top_right` |
| center left | `align_center_left` |
| center | `align_center` |
| center right | `align_center_right` |
| bottom left | `align_bottom_left` |
| bottom center | `align_bottom_center` |
| bottom right | `align_bottom_right` |
## Troubleshooting
If you find any bugs/unexpected behaviour or you have a proposition for future changes open an issue describing the current behaviour and what you expected.
## Development [](https://github.com/deinstapel/cursive-aligned-view/actions)
### Running the tests
#### Preparing integration tests
To perform the test it's advisable to install [`cargo-insta`](https://github.com/mitsuhiko/insta) in case your tests fail and you want to inspect the received output.
```
$ cargo install cargo-insta
```
You will also need insta to validate new tests you add or update older ones.
#### Running all test suites
Just run
```
$ cargo test
```
to execute all available tests.
---
Or if you want to interactively inspect failed tests
```
$ cargo insta test
```
