# Cursive Examples
Here are example programs using Cursive to help you getting familiar with the
various aspects of the library.
To run an example, use `cargo run --example EXAMPLE_NAME`.
To use a specific cursive backend, you can do, for example:
```
cargo run --example EXAMPLE_NAME --features crossterm-backend --no-default-features
```
## [`hello_world`](./hello_world.rs)
Simplest example possible, it will show you the starting point of a basic
Cursive application.
## [`dialog`](./dialog.rs)
This example wraps the text in a `Dialog` view, showing the basic idea of view
composition.
## [`lorem`](./lorem.rs)
This example loads a large text file to show scrolling behaviour. It also
includes greek and japanese characters to show non-ascii support.
## [`edit`](./edit.rs)
Here we have an `EditView` to get input from the user, and use that input in
the next view. It shows how to identify a view with an name and refer to it
later.
## [`mutation`](./mutation.rs)
This example modifies the content of an existing view.
## [`linear`](./linear.rs)
This example uses a `LinearView` to put multiple views side-by-side.
## [`menubar`](./menubar.rs)
Here we learn how to create a menubar at the top of the screen, and populate
it with static and dynamic entried.
## [`logs`](./logs.rs)
This example defines a custom view to display asynchronous input from a
channel.
## [`key_codes`](./key_codes.rs)
This example uses a custom view to print any input received. Can be used as a
debugging tool to see what input the application is receiving.
## [`select`](./select.rs)
This example uses a `SelectView` to have the user pick a city from a long list.
## [`list_view`](./list_view.rs)
This shows a use of a `ListView`, used to build simple forms.
## [`text_area`](./text_area.rs)
This example uses a `TextArea`, where the user can input a block of text.
## [`markup`](./markup.rs)
This example prints a text with markup decorations.
## [`theme`](./theme.rs)
This loads a theme file at runtime to change default colors.
## [`theme_manual`](./theme_manual.rs)
Instead of loading a theme file, this manually sets various theme settings.
## [`terminal_default`](./terminal_default.rs)
This example shows the effect of the `Color::TerminalDefault` setting.
## [`colors`](./colors.rs)
This example draws a colorful square to show off true color support.
## [`refcell_view`](./refcell_view.rs)
Here we show how to access multiple views concurently through their name.
## [`progress`](./progress.rs)
This shows how to send information from an asynchronous task (like a download
or slow computation) to update a progress bar.
## [`radio`](./radio.rs)
This shows how to use `RadioGroup` and `RadioButton`.
## [`slider`](./slider.rs)
This is a demonstration of the `SliderView`.
## [`mines`](./mines) (**Work in progress**)
A larger example showing an implementation of minesweeper.
## [`window_title`](./window_title.rs)
This shows how to change the terminal window title.
