# Bubble Tea

The fun, functional way to build terminal apps. A Go framework based on
[The Elm Architecture][elm].

⚠️  This project is a pre-release so the API is subject to change
a little. That said, we're using it in production.


## Simple example

```go
package main

// A simple program that counts down from 5 and then exits.

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"time"
	"github.com/charmbracelet/tea"
)

type model int

type tickMsg time.Time

func main() {
	p := tea.NewProgram(init, update, view, subscriptions)
	if err := p.Start(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

// Listen for messages and update the model accordingly
func update(msg tea.Msg, mdl tea.Model) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
	m, _ := mdl.(model)

	switch msg.(type) {
	case tickMsg:
        m--
		if m == 0 {
			return m, tea.Quit
		}
	}
	return m, nil
}

// Render to the terminal
func view(mdl tea.Model) string {
	m, _ := mdl.(model)
	return fmt.Sprintf("Hi. This program will exit in %d seconds...\n", m)
}

// Subscribe to events
func subscriptions(_ tea.Model) tea.Subs {
    return tea.Subs{
        "tick": time.Every(time.Second, func(t time.Time) tea.Msg {
            return tickMsg(t)
        },
    }
}
```

## Other Resources

* [Termenv](https://github.com/muesli/termenv): advanced ANSI style and color
  support for your terminal applications. Very useful when rendering your
  views.
* [Reflow](https://github.com/muesli/reflow): a collection of ANSI-aware text
  formatting tools. Also useful for view rendering.
