# kiln-ui
|
|
|
|
Reusable, game-agnostic terminal UI widgets built on [ratatui](https://ratatui.rs).
|
|
|
|
Extracted from the [kiln](https://github.com/) project so the same widgets can drive
|
|
any ratatui front-end (a game editor, a text editor, …). The crate has **no game-engine
|
|
dependency**.
|
|
|
|
## Widgets
|
|
|
|
- **`code_editor::CodeEditor`** — a hand-written, modeless, keyboard-only full-screen
|
|
code editor: selection, undo/redo, word/paragraph motion, system clipboard, and
|
|
syntect syntax highlighting. (Highlighting is currently hardcoded to Rhai; a pluggable
|
|
syntax/theme is a planned follow-up.)
|
|
- **`text_field::TextField`** — a single-line editable field (the building block for
|
|
dialog inputs).
|
|
- **`dialog::Dialog<Ctx>`** — modal text-entry and filterable-list dialogs, generic over
|
|
a host context they mutate only through callbacks.
|
|
- **`CursorOverlay` / `render_overlay` / `dim_area`** — the modal-overlay scaffolding:
|
|
a widget paints into a buffer and returns where the caret goes; the host places it.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Not WASM-compatible**: pulls in `syntect` (highlighting) and `arboard` (system
|
|
clipboard). The ratatui core itself is WASM-friendly.
|
|
- **ratatui version**: pinned to `0.30.x`. Consumers exchange ratatui types with these
|
|
widgets, so their `ratatui` must unify with this crate's.
|

|
## Development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo build
|
|
cargo test # pure-logic unit tests, no TTY required
|
