A curses-like library with a high level terminal interface API for node.js.

![reblessed](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chjj/blessed/master/img/v0.1.0-3.gif)

The library's official author, "chjj", seems to have abandoned the project, as the last commit was in 2016.
All forks have also died, so I took matters into my own hands and forked the project.

Blessed is a fantastic project, so I revived this masterpiece from the dead under the name "Re-Blessed", as I wasn’t able to find any other TUI libraries that had exactly what a TUI application needed!

## Install

### Latest release

``` bash
npm install reblessed
```

### Latest source code

``` bash
git clone [email protected]:kenan238/reblessed.git
```

## Example

This will render a box with line borders containing the text `'Hello world!'`,
perfectly centered horizontally and vertically.

**NOTE**: It is recommend you use either `smartCSR` or `fastCSR` as a
`reblessed.screen` option. This will enable CSR when scrolling text in elements
or when manipulating lines.

``` js
const reblessed = require('reblessed');

// Create a screen object.
const screen = reblessed.screen({
smartCSR: true
});

screen.title = 'my window title';

// Create a box perfectly centered horizontally and vertically.
const box = reblessed.box({
top: 'center',
left: 'center',
width: '50%',
height: '50%',
content: 'Hello {bold}world{/bold}!',
tags: true,
border: {
type: 'line'
},
style: {
fg: 'white',
bg: 'magenta',
border: {
fg: '#f0f0f0'
},
hover: {
bg: 'green'
}
}
});

// Append our box to the screen.
screen.append(box);

// Add a png icon to the box
const icon = reblessed.image({
parent: box,
top: 0,
left: 0,
type: 'overlay',
width: 'shrink',
height: 'shrink',
file: __dirname + '/my-program-icon.png',
search: false
});

// If our box is clicked, change the content.
box.on('click', (data) => {
box.setContent('{center}Some different {red-fg}content{/red-fg}.{/center}');
screen.render();
});

// If box is focused, handle `enter`/`return` and give us some more content.
box.key('enter', (ch, key) => {
box.setContent('{right}Even different {black-fg}content{/black-fg}.{/right}\n');
box.setLine(1, 'bar');
box.insertLine(1, 'foo');
screen.render();
});

// Quit on Escape, q, or Control-C.
screen.key(['escape', 'q', 'C-c'], (ch, key) => {
return process.exit(0);
});

// Focus our element.
box.focus();

// Render the screen.
screen.render();
```
