Bubbletea Versions Save

A powerful little TUI framework šŸ—

v0.25.0

4 months ago

Major mouse improvements, better input parsing, and lots more!

We hope youā€™re ready for winter. Unless youā€™re in the southern hemisphere (like @caarlos0) in which case, we hope youā€™re ready for summer. In either case, we hope you have a happy new year if the Julian calendar is something youā€™re into.

There are a bunch of good features in this release and a ton of input-related improvements. Read on for more!

Extended Mouse Mode

Bubble Tea now supports Extended Mouse Mode (aka SGR mode) which makes now mouse support in Bubble Tea way, way better.

Prior to this release Bubble Tea used the X10 mouse protocol. X10 was last released in 1986: a time when screen resolutions were smaller, memory limits were low, and a terminal sizes were tiny. For terminals and mice this meant that the mouse tracking stopped after the 127th horizontal cell. Well, thanks to the elite abilities of @aymanbagabas Bubble Tea can now track mouse movements across the entire terminal window, no matter how enormous.

And that's not all: Bubble Tea now has higher fidelity access to mouse operations such as shift, ctrl, and alt modifiers, mouse button release events, and a big range of mouse button and mouse wheel events.

For details see the docs for the new and improved MouseEvent.

Setting the Window Title

@aymanbagabas also wanted to be able to set the terminal window title with Bubble Tea, so he added the SetWindowTitle Cmd. Now setting the window title is as simple as:

func (m Model) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model. tea.Cmd) {
    return m, tea.SetWindowTitle("oh my")
}

FPS Control

Have you ever thought ā€œBubble Tea is too fast and I just canā€™t handle it?ā€ Or perhaps 60fps is too slow and you want to go full 120fps. Now, thanks to @tomfeiginā€™s WithFPS ProgramOption you can:

// Letā€™s go with the classic soap opera frame rate
p := tea.NewProgram(model, tea.WithMaxFPS(45))

Better Input, Better Living

@knz is just incredible. He took a look at Bubble Teaā€™s input parser and whipped it into shape with what felt like a flick of the wrist. Keyboard input is now more efficient than ever and very large amounts of input can be parsed with the greatest of ease. It's hard to overstate how impactful his contributions areā€”and there are more in the pipe.

You can pipe again

This point release fixes a regression introduced in v0.24.0 in which keyboard and mouse input would be lost when piping and redirecting into a program with default inputs. Special thanks to @pomdtr forā€¦piping up about the regression.

v0.24.0

11 months ago

It is finally time for another Bubble Tea release!

This release contains 31 commits by 14 contributors. Thank you everyone! šŸ’•

Without further ado, here's a list of the most important changes:

Message handling and filtering

The tea.QuitMsg is now exported and you can use tea.WithFilter to filter which messages your model will receive:

func filter(m tea.Model, msg tea.Msg) tea.Msg {
  if _, ok := msg.(tea.QuitMsg); !ok {
      return msg
  }

  model := m.(myModel)
  if model.hasChanges {
      return nil
  }

  return msg
}

p := tea.NewProgram(Model{}, tea.WithFilter(filter));

if _,err := p.Run(); err != nil {
  fmt.Println("Error running program:", err)
  os.Exit(1)
}

Testing

We are introducing an our very own /x package, which contains the teatest package.

With teatest, you can easily run a tea.Program, assert its final model and/or output.

This package required a couple of new methods on Bubble Tea, namely Program.Wait(), WithoutSignals.

You can see an example usage in the simple example.

Bug fixing

We try hard to not let any of them pass, but we know, sometimes a few of them do. This release also gets rid of a bunch of them.

v0.23.0

1 year ago

If you are closely following Bubble Tea's development, you may have already noticed that we have been really busy fixing a lot of issues and merged more than just a couple of feature requests in recent weeks. This v0.23.0 release is in fact our biggest update since the initial release of the package: in the last 3 months over 100 commits have reached us by more than 30 individual contributors! Thank you everyone! šŸ’•

Here's a quick overview of what has changed:

Custom Outputs

Don't want to render your beautiful TUI to stdout? A buffer or an alternative file descriptor like stderr seems more appropriate? We got you covered now:

Render to stderr

p := tea.NewProgram(model, tea.WithOutput(os.Stderr))

Render to a Buffer

var buf bytes.Buffer
p := tea.NewProgram(model, tea.WithOutput(&buf))

Run Like the Wind

We've introduced the aptly named method Program.Run which replaces and deprecates the existing Program.Start and Program.StartReturningModel methods. This unifies and clarifies the blocking behavior of the Bubble Tea program execution.

The old methods will continue to work for now, but please update your programs accordingly:

p := tea.NewProgram(model, tea.WithOutput(os.Stderr))
model, err := p.Run() // instead of p.Start or p.StartReturningModel
...

Bug Fix Galore!

The initialization and tear-down methods of tea.Program have been revised and some long-standing problems have been resolved. We couldn't list every single fix in the release notes, so please check out the full changelog below!

šŸ¤— Thanks

We would like to particularly thank @knz who is the sole author of more than a dozen PRs since the last release. Outstanding work!

v0.22.1

Mutli-Byte Character Support on Windows

This is a small release with a big impact for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean users on Windows. The long as short of it is that if youā€™re using a multi-byte character set thatā€™s not UTF-8, Bubble Tea will covert stuff for you so things work as expected. For details see https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea/pull/343.

šŸ¤— Enormous thanks to @mattn for the contribution as well as his Go libraries that make CJK support in the Charm ecosystem possible.

šŸ‘¾ Also, thanks to @aklyachkin, if Bubble Tea on AIX is something you want your dream is a now a reality.

v0.22.0

1 year ago

Unmanaged Output

Now you can print unmanaged output above your inline applications. This means you can print stuff above your app that won't be cleared on the next render. Itā€™s super useful for cases where you want to build an apt-like package manager.

Letā€™s Print

This release introduces two new Cmds that print output above your inline Bubble Tea program:

tea.Println("Hello, Bubble Tea")
tea.Printf("%s, %s", "Hello", "Bubble Tea")

Use it anytime you want to add log-type info to the terminalā€™s scrollback buffer, such as building your own package manager šŸ“¦. And keep in mind that these methods are no-opā€™s in altscreen mode.

Package Manager Demo

For details see the full example and the docs.

šŸ¤— Thanks

@fiws has been bugging us to implement this forever and then @Adjective-Object swooped in and did it with style and grace! Itā€™s been a great collaboration all around.

v0.21.0

Spawn Interactive Processes + More Keybindings

Finally! This update allows you to run blocking, interactive processes from Bubble Tea like vim, htop, curl, and even entire shells like fish. It also adds a bunch of new keybindings. Read on for more!

Letā€™s Exec

As we were saying, you can now spawn interactive processes in the terminal from Bubble Tea and resume Bubble Tea when they exit. For example, you could have your Bubble Tea program spawn vim to edit a file, or temporarily open a shell, like fish. Hereā€™s what it looks like:

type editorFinishedMsg struct{ err error }

func openInVim(path string) tea.Cmd {
	c := exec.Command("vim", path)
	return tea.ExecProcess(c, func(err error) tea.Msg {
		return editorFinishedMsg{err}
	})
}

See the full example for details.

Keys Galore

Prior to this update, you couldn't bind to the functions keys. Isn't that crazy? @mrusme certainly thought so. With this update you can can now respond to F1 through F20, modifiers included.

And thanks to @bwahharharrr you can also now bind to arrow keys with the ctrl, shift and alt modifiers.
