TUI++

Why TUI++? ​

You might be asking why I created TUI++ when libraries like FTXUI exists?

While FTXUI is a great library it's harder to write something simple compared to TUI++:

Printing a simple yellow text:

cpp
auto document = text("Hello, World!") | color(Color::Yellow);

auto screen = Screen::Create(Dimension::Fit(document), Dimension::Fit(document));
Render(screen, document);
screen.Print();
cpp
tuipp::Console::println("[yellow]Hello, World![/]");

Printing a multi-color text:

cpp
auto document = hflow({
  text("Hello, ") | color(Color::Yellow),
  text("World") | color(Color::Red),
  text("!") | color(Color::green)
});

auto screen = Screen::Create(Dimension::Fit(document), Dimension::Fit(document));
Render(screen, document);
screen.Print();
cpp
tuipp::Console::println("[yellow]Hello, [/][red]World[/][green]![/]");

TUI++ syntax it's much more concise and shorter, but that doesn't mean you should use it every time, FTXUI really shine when building interactive TUIs
