# RxTerm ⚡⌨️
A C++ library for functional-reactive terminals. RxTerm is a lean alternative to ncurses for many applications.
## Build Instructions
The library builds with [Buckaroo](https://buckaroo.pm) and either [Buck](https://www.buckbuild.com) or [Bazel](https://bazel.build). It requires a C++ 14 compiler.
```bash
buckaroo install
# Buck
buck build :rxterm
# Bazel
bazel build :rxterm
```
To run the demo:
```bash
# Buck
buck run :main
# Bazel
BAZEL_CXXOPTS="-std=c++14" bazel run :main
```
## Usage
To install this library into your project:
```bash=
buckaroo add github.com/loopperfect/rxterm@*
```
Refer to `rxterm/apps/main.cpp` for an example.
## Progress
* [x] ANSI Output
* [x] Reusable components
* [ ] Managed console input
* [ ] Terminal width detection
* [ ] Windows support
Contributions are very welcome! 💖
## Windows Support
- VT100 escape sequences are enabled by default in msys2, mingw and cygwin.
- Cmd.exe and Powershell may require explicit activation of terminal mode. The easiest way is to call system(" ") at the start of your application.
