Setting the cursor with the `Direct` handler will cause the rendering
to halt at that point and leave the cursor at point.
Due to not enabling *raw mode* with the newly introduced `App.start`
configuration options corresponding inputs are only visible to `zterm`
once the input has been completed with a newline. With this it is not
necessary for the renderer to know nothing more than the width of the
terminal (which is implied through the `Container` sizes). Making it
very trivial to implement.
Handle inputs as per usual (which however is a bit weak, is it goes through
key by key and not the entire line), batch all events such that all events
are handled before the next frame is rendered. For this the `App.start`
function needs to become configurable, such that it changes the termios as
configured (hence it is currently all commented out for testing).
A corresponding example has been added, which is very minimalistic as of now,
but will add further functionality to test the corresponding workflow that is
usual in `zterm` such that it in the best case only a swap in the renderer to
switch from alternate mode drawing to direct drawing.
The renderer will provide `resize`, `reposition` and `minSize` (for
the `Scrollable` `Element`) with a read-only pointer to the model of
the application (similar to how it is already done for `handle` and
`content`). Every interface function now has the same data that it can
each use for implementing its corresponding task based on local and
shared variables through the element instance and model pointer.
The provided `std.Io` is used for running the input reading and the
rendering asynch. The user can provide their desired `std.Io`
implementation as they wish to use. The examples use `std.Io.Threaded`
as a simple threaded solution.
This should be the way it should be done all the time, such that you
are not rendering for every input, but instead handle all `App.Event`s
that happened between the last render and the current. This shares
similarities with the continuous event loops, which also batches
the events only with the exception that it instead blocks (see
`App.Queue.poll`).
Fix initial render to show scrollbar immediately if required. Show and
hide scrollbar correctly when content size or terminal size changes. Add
keybindings for scrolling similar to pager keybindings.
The union type can not be constructed with declarations anyway:
`error: reified unions must have no decls`; meaning there is no point in
even trying to do so.
Enforce that `minSize` returns a `Point` with corresponding minimal
dimensions with respect to the provided available size. This means that
an `Element` implementation that provides a `minSize` function may even
return a too small dimension, which would automatically be resized to be
at least as big as the provided size.
The minimal required size can the queried from the containing `Element`
of the `Container` that is provided to the `Scrollable` to dynamically
adjust its size.
Currently abritrary nesting is not supported / tested.
Now the `App` contains a state which is a user-defined `struct` which
is passed to the `handle` and `contents` callbacks for `Container`'s and
`Element`'s. Built-in `Element`'s shall not access the `App.Model` and
should therefore never cause any side-effects.
User-defined events shall be used to act as *messages* to cause
potential side-effects for the model. This is the reason why only
the `handle` callback has a non-const pointer to the `App.Model`. The
`contents` callback can only access the `App.Model` read-only to use for
generating the *view* (in context of the elm architecture).
The functionality remains in the code, but will cause an compilation
error when the user provided tagged union for the application events
has declarations. This way it is at least explicit that no declarations
are supported (even if this is actually a nice to have).
For details see this [issue](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/6709).
Negative paddings use the current size to calculate the padding from
the opposite orientation. For a given dimension (horizontal or vertical)
if the size is `30` a padding of `5` would be equivalent to a padding
of `-25`. This enables to describe the size of the container using
the padding property of the `Layout` and gives users more freedom to
describe different layouts.
There are now comptime checks in place an the corresponding triggered
event will be automatically converted to the correct type to support
simple ascii strings (`[]u8`) or utf-8 strings (`[]u21`).
Moved implementation from example/input as a standalone `Element`
implementation, which is directly used by the example instead.
The provided argument is the `App.Event`'s event that should be
triggered on acceptance for the contents of the Input `Element`.
Currently only `[]u21` strings are supported, but in the future also
`[]u8` strings shall be supported and automatically converted when
pushed as an `App.Event` into the app's queue.
The other examples did rendering based on events, which this renderer
does not. This makes these applications potentially not that efficient,
but allows for consistent frame times that make animations, etc.
possible. This example serves to show that you can use `zterm` for both
types of render scheduling and even change between them without much
efford.
You can now align a `Container` using the Alignment `Element` similar to
how you make a `Container` scrollable. For usage details please see the
example and the corresponding tests.
Configuration to enable scrollbar rendering for scrollable `Element`s.
Currently only the fg `Color` of the scrollbar can be configured while
the background uses the same fg `Color` but adds the emphasis `.dim` to
make it obvious what the is the actual scrollbar. In the future it might
be necessary to provide the user with more options to configure the
representation of the scrollbar.
Tests have been added to test the scrollbar rendering and placement
accordingly.
Renamed `Container.contents` to `Container.content` to be in line with
the corresponding `Element` function name. This has also been done for
the properties structs used by the `Container`.
