How does the layout system work?

It uses a constraint-based system where you can split the terminal area into chunks based on percentages, fixed lengths, or ratios, making it easy to build responsive terminal designs.

What is Ratatui-Ruby?

Ratatui-Ruby is a Ruby gem that wraps the powerful Rust Ratatui library, allowing Ruby developers to create feature-rich terminal user interfaces (TUIs) with ease.

What is the Tea architecture mentioned in the skill?

Tea is a Model-View-Update (MVU) architecture provided by the gem, inspired by Elm, which helps manage application state and side effects in a predictable way.

Does it support mouse and keyboard input?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns for handling keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks using Ruby's native pattern matching within a managed event loop.

Can I use this for standard CLI tools instead of full-screen apps?

Yes, Ratatui-Ruby supports an 'Inline Viewport' mode specifically designed for adding rich elements like progress bars or tables to standard CLI output without clearing the screen.

设计工具

Builds sophisticated terminal user interfaces and rich CLI applications using the Ratatui library for Ruby.

关于

This skill provides expert guidance for developing high-performance terminal user interfaces (TUIs) in Ruby by leveraging the Ratatui library. It covers the entire development lifecycle, from managed terminal setup and teardown to complex layout design using constraints and styling. Developers can use it to build either full-screen applications or 'inline' rich CLI components, utilizing a comprehensive widget library, event-driven pattern matching for input, and the Tea Model-View-Update architecture for robust state management.

主要功能

Managed terminal lifecycle handling with automatic screen setup and teardown
Dual operating modes for full-screen TUIs or inline CLI rich moments
Extensive widget catalog including Tables, Lists, Gauges, and Charts
13 GitHub stars
Advanced testing suite with snapshot comparisons and event injection
Flexible layout system using percentage, length, and fill constraints

使用场景

Enhancing standard CLI scripts with rich inline progress indicators and spinners
Developing interactive terminal dashboards for real-time system monitoring
Building complex, state-managed terminal applications using the Tea (MVU) pattern
