The fun, functional and stateful way to build terminal apps. A Go framework
|
||
based on [The Elm Architecture][elm]. Bubble Tea is well-suited for simple and
|
||
complex terminal applications, either inline, full-window, or a mix of both.

Bubble Tea is in use in production and includes a number of features and
|
||
performance optimizations we’ve added along the way. Among those is a standard
|
||
framerate-based renderer, a renderer for high-performance scrollable
|
||
regions which works alongside the main renderer, and mouse support.
|
||
|
||

## Tutorial
|
||
|
||
Bubble Tea is based on the functional design paradigms of [The Elm
|
||
Architecture][elm], which happens to work nicely with Go. It's a delightful way
|
||
to build applications.
|
||
|
||
This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of Go.
|
||
|
||
By the way, the non-annotated source code for this program is available
|
||
[on GitHub][tut-source].
|
||
|
||
[elm]: https://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/
|
||
[tut-source]: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea/tree/master/tutorials/basics
|
||
|
||
### Enough! Let's get to it.
|
||
|
||
For this tutorial, we're making a shopping list.
|
||
|
||
To start we'll define our package and import some libraries. Our only external
|
||
import will be the Bubble Tea library, which we'll call `tea` for short.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
package main
|
||
|
||
import (
|
||
"fmt"
|
||
"os"
|
||
|
||
tea "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea"
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Bubble Tea programs are comprised of a **model** that describes the application
|
||
state and three simple methods on that model:
|
||
|
||
- **Init**, a function that returns an initial command for the application to run.
|
||
- **Update**, a function that handles incoming events and updates the model accordingly.
|
||
- **View**, a function that renders the UI based on the data in the model.
|
||
|
||
### The Model
|
||
|
||
So let's start by defining our model which will store our application's state.
|
||
It can be any type, but a `struct` usually makes the most sense.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
type model struct {
|
||
choices []string // items on the to-do list
|
||
cursor int // which to-do list item our cursor is pointing at
|
||
selected map[int]struct{} // which to-do items are selected
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Initialization
|
||
|
||
Next, we’ll define our application’s initial state. In this case, we’re defining
|
||
a function to return our initial model, however, we could just as easily define
|
||
the initial model as a variable elsewhere, too.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
func initialModel() model {
|
||
return model{
|
||
// Our to-do list is a grocery list
|
||
choices: []string{"Buy carrots", "Buy celery", "Buy kohlrabi"},
|
||
|
||
// A map which indicates which choices are selected. We're using
|
||
// the map like a mathematical set. The keys refer to the indexes
|
||
// of the `choices` slice, above.
|
||
selected: make(map[int]struct{}),
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, we define the `Init` method. `Init` can return a `Cmd` that could perform
|
||
some initial I/O. For now, we don't need to do any I/O, so for the command,
|
||
we'll just return `nil`, which translates to "no command."
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
func (m model) Init() tea.Cmd {
|
||
// Just return `nil`, which means "no I/O right now, please."
|
||
return nil
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### The Update Method
|
||
|
||
Next up is the update method. The update function is called when ”things
|
||
happen.” Its job is to look at what has happened and return an updated model in
|
||
response. It can also return a `Cmd` to make more things happen, but for now
|
||
don't worry about that part.
|
||
|
||
In our case, when a user presses the down arrow, `Update`’s job is to notice
|
||
that the down arrow was pressed and move the cursor accordingly (or not).
|
||
|
||
The “something happened” comes in the form of a `Msg`, which can be any type.
|
||
Messages are the result of some I/O that took place, such as a keypress, timer
|
||
tick, or a response from a server.
|
||
|
||
We usually figure out which type of `Msg` we received with a type switch, but
|
||
you could also use a type assertion.
|
||
|
||
For now, we'll just deal with `tea.KeyMsg` messages, which are automatically
|
||
sent to the update function when keys are pressed.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
func (m model) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
|
||
switch msg := msg.(type) {
|
||
|
||
// Is it a key press?
|
||
case tea.KeyMsg:
|
||
|
||
// Cool, what was the actual key pressed?
|
||
switch msg.String() {
|
||
|
||
// These keys should exit the program.
|
||
case "ctrl+c", "q":
|
||
return m, tea.Quit
|
||
|
||
// The "up" and "k" keys move the cursor up
|
||
case "up", "k":
|
||
if m.cursor > 0 {
|
||
m.cursor--
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// The "down" and "j" keys move the cursor down
|
||
case "down", "j":
|
||
if m.cursor < len(m.choices)-1 {
|
||
m.cursor++
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// The "enter" key and the spacebar (a literal space) toggle
|
||
// the selected state for the item that the cursor is pointing at.
|
||
case "enter", " ":
|
||
_, ok := m.selected[m.cursor]
|
||
if ok {
|
||
delete(m.selected, m.cursor)
|
||
} else {
|
||
m.selected[m.cursor] = struct{}{}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Return the updated model to the Bubble Tea runtime for processing.
|
||
// Note that we're not returning a command.
|
||
return m, nil
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You may have noticed that <kbd>ctrl+c</kbd> and <kbd>q</kbd> above return
|
||
a `tea.Quit` command with the model. That’s a special command which instructs
|
||
the Bubble Tea runtime to quit, exiting the program.
|
||
|
||
### The View Method
|
||
|
||
At last, it’s time to render our UI. Of all the methods, the view is the
|
||
simplest. We look at the model in its current state and use it to return
|
||
a `string`. That string is our UI!
|
||
|
||
Because the view describes the entire UI of your application, you don’t have to
|
||
worry about redrawing logic and stuff like that. Bubble Tea takes care of it
|
||
for you.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
func (m model) View() string {
|
||
// The header
|
||
s := "What should we buy at the market?\n\n"
|
||
|
||
// Iterate over our choices
|
||
for i, choice := range m.choices {
|
||
|
||
// Is the cursor pointing at this choice?
|
||
cursor := " " // no cursor
|
||
if m.cursor == i {
|
||
cursor = ">" // cursor!
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Is this choice selected?
|
||
checked := " " // not selected
|
||
if _, ok := m.selected[i]; ok {
|
||
checked = "x" // selected!
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Render the row
|
||
s += fmt.Sprintf("%s [%s] %s\n", cursor, checked, choice)
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// The footer
|
||
s += "\nPress q to quit.\n"
|
||
|
||
// Send the UI for rendering
|
||
return s
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### All Together Now
|
||
|
||
The last step is to simply run our program. We pass our initial model to
|
||
`tea.NewProgram` and let it rip:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
func main() {
|
||
p := tea.NewProgram(initialModel())
|
||
if _, err := p.Run(); err != nil {
|
||
fmt.Printf("Alas, there's been an error: %v", err)
|
||
os.Exit(1)
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## What’s Next?
|
||
|
||
This tutorial covers the basics of building an interactive terminal UI, but
|
||
in the real world you'll also need to perform I/O. To learn about that have a
|
||
look at the [Command Tutorial][cmd]. It's pretty simple.
|
||
|
||
There are also several [Bubble Tea examples][examples] available and, of course,
|
||
there are [Go Docs][docs].
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Debugging
|
||
|
||
### Debugging with Delve
|
||
|
||
Since Bubble Tea apps assume control of stdin and stdout, you’ll need to run
|
||
delve in headless mode and then connect to it:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Start the debugger
|
||
$ dlv debug --headless --api-version=2 --listen=127.0.0.1:43000 .
|
||
API server listening at: 127.0.0.1:43000
|
||
|
||
# Connect to it from another terminal
|
||
$ dlv connect 127.0.0.1:43000
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you do not explicitly supply the `--listen` flag, the port used will vary
|
||
per run, so passing this in makes the debugger easier to use from a script
|
||
or your IDE of choice.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, we pass in `--api-version=2` because delve defaults to version 1
|
||
for backwards compatibility reasons. However, delve recommends using version 2
|
||
for all new development and some clients may no longer work with version 1.
|
||
For more information, see the [Delve documentation](https://github.com/go-delve/delve/tree/master/Documentation/api).
|
||
|
||
### Logging Stuff
|
||
|
||
You can’t really log to stdout with Bubble Tea because your TUI is busy
|
||
occupying that! You can, however, log to a file by including something like
|
||
the following prior to starting your Bubble Tea program:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
if len(os.Getenv("DEBUG")) > 0 {
|
||
f, err := tea.LogToFile("debug.log", "debug")
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
fmt.Println("fatal:", err)
|
||
os.Exit(1)
|
||
}
|
||
defer f.Close()
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To see what’s being logged in real time, run `tail -f debug.log` while you run
|
||
your program in another window.

||
