Cursive

Cursive is a TUI library built on top of ncurses-rs. It allows to easily build layouts for text-based applications.

Getting started

• Every application should start with a Cursive object. It is the main entry-point to the library.
• A declarative phase then describes the structure of the UI by adding views and configuring their behaviours.
• Finally, the event loop is started by calling Cursive::run(&mut self).

Example

extern crate cursive;

use cursive::Cursive;
use cursive::view::TextView;

fn main() {
    let mut siv = Cursive::new();

    siv.add_layer(TextView::new("Hello World!\nPress q to quit."));

    siv.add_global_callback('q', |s| s.quit());

    siv.run();
}
