Ember TUI

Ember.js Terminal UI Library. Build and test your CLI tool using ember.js.

Ember TUI provides the same component-based UI building experience that Ember.js offers in the browser, but for command-line apps. It uses Yoga to build Flexbox layouts in the terminal, so most CSS-like properties are available in Ember TUI as well. If you are already familiar with Ember.js, you already know Ember TUI.

Since Ember TUI is built on Ember.js, all features of Ember.js are supported. Head over to the Ember.js website for documentation on how to use it. Only Ember TUI's methods are documented in this readme.

start developing

to create a new terminal app just run

npx ember-tui create-app <my-cli-app> --pnpm
pnpm prebuild
pnpm start

that will create the app with emberjs blueprint and adjust some files for ember-tui

Getting Started

Ember TUI uses Yoga, a Flexbox layout engine, to build great user interfaces for your CLIs using familiar CSS-like properties you've used when building apps for the browser. It's important to remember that each element is a Flexbox container. Think of it as if every <div> in the browser had display: flex. See <Box> built-in component below for documentation on how to use Flexbox layouts in Ember TUI. Note that all text must be wrapped in a <Text> component.

Components

`<Text>`

This component can display text and change its style to make it bold, underlined, italic, or strikethrough.

import { render, Text } from 'ember-tui';

const template = <template>
  <Text @color="green">I am green</Text>
  <Text @color="black" @backgroundColor="white">I am black on white</Text>
  <Text @color="#ffffff">I am white</Text>
  <Text @bold={{true}}>I am bold</Text>
  <Text @italic={{true}}>I am italic</Text>
  <Text @underline={{true}}>I am underline</Text>
  <Text @strikethrough={{true}}>I am strikethrough</Text>
  <Text @inverse={{true}}>I am inversed</Text>
</template>;

render(template);

Note: <Text> allows only text nodes and nested <Text> components inside of it. For example, <Box> component can't be used inside <Text>.

color

Type: string

Change text color. Ember TUI uses chalk under the hood, so all its functionality is supported.

<Text @color="green">Green</Text>
<Text @color="#005cc5">Blue</Text>
<Text @color="rgb(232, 131, 136)">Red</Text>

backgroundColor

Type: string

Same as color above, but for background.

<Text @backgroundColor="green" @color="white">Green</Text>
<Text @backgroundColor="#005cc5" @color="white">Blue</Text>
<Text @backgroundColor="rgb(232, 131, 136)" @color="white">Red</Text>

dimColor

Type: boolean
Default: false

Dim the color (make it less bright).

<Text @color="red" @dimColor={{true}}>Dimmed Red</Text>

bold

Type: boolean
Default: false

Make the text bold.

italic

Type: boolean
Default: false

Make the text italic.

underline

Type: boolean
Default: false

Make the text underlined.

strikethrough

Type: boolean
Default: false

Make the text crossed with a line.

inverse

Type: boolean
Default: false

Invert background and foreground colors.

<Text @inverse={{true}} @color="yellow">Inversed Yellow</Text>

wrap

Type: string
Allowed values: wrap truncate truncate-start truncate-middle truncate-end
Default: wrap

This property tells Ember TUI to wrap or truncate text if its width is larger than the container. If wrap is passed (the default), Ember TUI will wrap text and split it into multiple lines. If truncate-* is passed, Ember TUI will truncate text instead, resulting in one line of text with the rest cut off.

<Box @width={{7}}>
  <Text>Hello World</Text>
</Box>
//=> 'Hello\nWorld'

// `truncate` is an alias to `truncate-end`
<Box @width={{7}}>
  <Text @wrap="truncate">Hello World</Text>
</Box>
//=> 'Hello…'

<Box @width={{7}}>
  <Text @wrap="truncate-middle">Hello World</Text>
</Box>
//=> 'He…ld'

<Box @width={{7}}>
  <Text @wrap="truncate-start">Hello World</Text>
</Box>
//=> '…World'

`<Box>`

<Box> is an essential Ember TUI component to build your layout. It's like <div style="display: flex"> in the browser.

import { render, Box, Text } from 'ember-tui';

const template = <template>
  <Box @margin={{2}}>
    <Text>This is a box with margin</Text>
  </Box>
</template>;

render(template);

Borders

borderStyle

Type: string
Allowed values: single double round bold singleDouble doubleSingle classic

Add a border with a specified style. If borderStyle is undefined (the default), no border will be added. Ember TUI uses border styles from the cli-boxes module.

<Box @flexDirection="column">
  <Box>
    <Box @borderStyle="single" @marginRight={{2}}>
      <Text>single</Text>
    </Box>
    <Box @borderStyle="double" @marginRight={{2}}>
      <Text>double</Text>
    </Box>
    <Box @borderStyle="round" @marginRight={{2}}>
      <Text>round</Text>
    </Box>
    <Box @borderStyle="bold">
      <Text>bold</Text>
    </Box>
  </Box>
</Box>

borderColor

Type: string

Change border color. A shorthand for setting borderTopColor, borderRightColor, borderBottomColor, and borderLeftColor.

<Box @borderStyle="round" @borderColor="green">
  <Text>Green Rounded Box</Text>
</Box>

borderDimColor

Type: boolean
Default: false

Dim the border color. A shorthand for setting borderTopDimColor, borderBottomDimColor, borderLeftDimColor, and borderRightDimColor.

<Box @borderStyle="round" @borderDimColor={{true}}>
  <Text>Hello world</Text>
</Box>

borderTop / borderRight / borderBottom / borderLeft

Type: boolean
Default: true

Determines whether the respective border is visible.

Background

backgroundColor

Type: string

Background color for the element.

Accepts the same values as color in the <Text> component.

<Box @flexDirection="column">
  <Box @backgroundColor="red" @width={{20}} @height={{5}} @alignSelf="flex-start">
    <Text>Red background</Text>
  </Box>
  <Box @backgroundColor="#FF8800" @width={{20}} @height={{3}} @marginTop={{1}} @alignSelf="flex-start">
    <Text>Orange background</Text>
  </Box>
</Box>

The background color fills the entire <Box> area and is inherited by child <Text> components unless they specify their own backgroundColor.

overlay

Type: boolean
Default: false

When true, the box's background color is drawn on top of existing content without erasing the characters underneath. Only the background color of each cell is replaced; the character and its foreground styles are preserved.

This is primarily useful for absolutely-positioned boxes (see position: absolute via Yoga) that need to tint a region of the screen without obscuring the text already rendered there.

<Box @position="absolute" @backgroundColor="blue" @overlay={{true}} @width={{10}} @height={{3}}>
</Box>

Note: overlay only has a visible effect when a backgroundColor is also set. Without a background color there is nothing to overlay.

`<Newline>`

Adds one or more newline (\n) characters. Must be used within <Text> components.

count

Type: number
Default: 1

Number of newlines to insert.

import { render, Text, Newline } from 'ember-tui';

const template = <template>
  <Text>
    <Text @color="green">Hello</Text>
    <Newline />
    <Text @color="red">World</Text>
  </Text>
</template>;

render(template);

Output:

Hello
World

`<Spacer>`

A flexible space that expands along the major axis of its containing layout. It's useful as a shortcut for filling all the available space between elements.

For example, using <Spacer> in a <Box> with default flex direction (row) will position "Left" on the left side and will push "Right" to the right side.

import { render, Box, Text, Spacer } from 'ember-tui';

const template = <template>
  <Box>
    <Text>Left</Text>
    <Spacer />
    <Text>Right</Text>
  </Box>
</template>;

render(template);

`<Transform>`

Transform a string representation of components before they're written to output. For example, you might want to apply a gradient to text or create some text effects.

Note: <Transform> must be applied only to <Text> children components and shouldn't change the dimensions of the output; otherwise, the layout will be incorrect.

import { render, Transform, Text } from 'ember-tui';

const template = <template>
  <Transform @transform={{fn (output) => output.toUpperCase()}}>
    <Text>Hello World</Text>
  </Transform>
</template>;

render(template);

Since the transform function converts all characters to uppercase, the final output rendered to the terminal will be "HELLO WORLD", not "Hello World".

transform(outputLine, index)

Type: Function

Function that transforms children output. It accepts children and must return transformed children as well.

children

Type: string

Output of child components.

index

Type: number

The zero-indexed line number of the line that's currently being transformed.

Mouse Events

Ember TUI supports terminal mouse events, including clicks, hover, scroll, and drag. Mouse events are attached to <Box> components using Ember's standard {{on}} modifier — no special API is required.

Enabling mouse tracking

Call enableMouseTracking once at startup (before rendering) to tell the terminal to start reporting mouse events. Call disableMouseTracking when the app exits to restore the terminal to its default state.

import { render, enableMouseTracking, disableMouseTracking } from 'ember-tui';

enableMouseTracking(process.stdout);

// ... render your app ...

process.on('exit', () => disableMouseTracking(process.stdout));

Supported event types

Event type	Fired when…
`mousedown`	A mouse button is pressed
`mouseup`	A mouse button is released
`click`	A button is pressed and released on the same element
`mousemove`	The cursor moves (with or without a button held)
`wheel`	The scroll wheel is turned
`mouseenter`	The cursor moves into the element's bounding box
`mouseleave`	The cursor moves out of the element's bounding box

Attaching listeners

Use Ember's {{on}} modifier on any <Box> component:

import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
import { Box, Text } from 'ember-tui';

<template>
  <Box
    {{on "mouseenter" this.handleEnter}}
    {{on "mouseleave" this.handleLeave}}
    {{on "click" this.handleClick}}
    @borderStyle="single"
  >
    <Text>Click me!</Text>
  </Box>
</template>

`TerminalMouseEvent`

Every listener receives a TerminalMouseEvent object with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
`type`	`string`	Event type (`mousedown`, `mouseup`, `click`, `mousemove`, `wheel`, etc.)
`x`	`number`	1-based terminal column of the cursor
`y`	`number`	1-based terminal row of the cursor
`button`	`number`	Button index: `0` = left, `1` = middle, `2` = right, `-1` = none
`buttons`	`number`	Bitmask of currently pressed buttons (browser `MouseEvent` convention)
`deltaY`	`number`	Wheel delta: `-1` = scroll up, `1` = scroll down, `0` = not a wheel event
`ctrlKey`	`boolean`	`true` when Ctrl was held
`altKey`	`boolean`	`true` when Alt / Meta was held
`shiftKey`	`boolean`	`true` when Shift was held
`rawInput`	`string`	Raw terminal escape sequence (useful for debugging)
`preventDefault()`	`function`	No-op stub for API compatibility
`stopPropagation()`	`function`	No-op stub for API compatibility

Example — interactive hover box

The following component changes its background colour and border when the cursor hovers over it:

import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
import { Box, Text } from 'ember-tui';

export default class HoverBox extends Component {
  @tracked isHovered = false;

  onMouseEnter = () => { this.isHovered = true; };
  onMouseLeave = () => { this.isHovered = false; };

  <template>
    <Box
      {{on "mousemove" this.onMouseEnter}}
      {{on "mouseleave" this.onMouseLeave}}
      @backgroundColor={{if this.isHovered "blue" "gray"}}
      @borderStyle="single"
      @borderColor={{if this.isHovered "white" "gray"}}
      @width={{24}}
      @height={{3}}
      @alignItems="center"
      @justifyContent="center"
    >
      <Text @color="white" @bold={{this.isHovered}}>
        {{if this.isHovered "▶ Hover!" "  Hover!"}}
      </Text>
    </Box>
  </template>
}

Keyboard Events

Ember TUI surfaces terminal keyboard input as browser-like keydown events. Use Ember's standard {{on}} modifier on any <Box> to start receiving keystrokes — no special API is required.

Note: Unlike mouse events, keydown is broadcast to every registered listener regardless of which element has visual focus. There is no hit-testing; all <Box> elements that registered a keydown listener will receive every keystroke.

Enabling keyboard input

Raw-mode is enabled automatically by render() when stdin is a TTY, so no extra setup is needed.

Attaching a listener

import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
import { Box, Text } from 'ember-tui';

<template>
  <Box {{on "keydown" this.handleKey}}>
    <Text>Press any key…</Text>
  </Box>
</template>

`TerminalKeyEvent`

Every listener receives a TerminalKeyEvent object with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
`type`	`string`	Always `"keydown"`
`key`	`string`	Logical key value: `'a'`, `'A'`, `'ArrowUp'`, `'Enter'`, etc.
`code`	`string`	Mapped key name / code (same as `key` for most keys)
`keyCode`	`number`	Numeric char-code of the first byte
`ctrlKey`	`boolean`	`true` when a Ctrl+key combination was pressed
`altKey`	`boolean`	`true` when an Alt / Meta combination was pressed
`shiftKey`	`boolean`	`true` when Shift was held (uppercase letters and symbols)
`ambiguous`	`boolean`	`true` when the sequence maps to two keys, e.g. `\t` → Tab or Ctrl+I
`rawInput`	`string`	Raw terminal escape sequence (useful for debugging)
`preventDefault()`	`function`	No-op stub for API compatibility
`stopPropagation()`	`function`	No-op stub for API compatibility

Recognized key names

The following special keys are mapped to their standard names:

Terminal sequence	`key` / `code`
Arrow keys	`ArrowUp` `ArrowDown` `ArrowLeft` `ArrowRight`
`\r` / `\n`	`Enter`
`\t`	`Tab`
`\x1b[Z`	`Tab` (Shift+Tab, `shiftKey: true`)
`\x7f` / `\b`	`Backspace`
`\x1b`	`Escape`
	`Space`
`\x1b[H`	`Home`
`\x1b[F`	`End`
`\x1b[5~`	`PageUp`
`\x1b[6~`	`PageDown`
`\x1b[3~`	`Delete`
`\x1b[2~`	`Insert`
Ctrl+`<letter>`	raw control char; `ctrlKey: true`, `code` = base letter
Alt+`<key>`	`altKey: true`, `key` = the character after ESC

Example — key logger

The following component displays the last key pressed and a running log of recent keystrokes:

import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
import { on } from '@ember/modifier';
import { Box, Text } from 'ember-tui';

export default class KeyLogger extends Component {
  @tracked lastKey = '—';
  @tracked log: string[] = [];

  handleKey = (event: any) => {
    this.lastKey = event.key;
    this.log = [`${event.key}${event.ctrlKey ? ' (Ctrl)' : ''}${event.altKey ? ' (Alt)' : ''}`, ...this.log].slice(0, 8);
  };

  <template>
    <Box
      {{on "keydown" this.handleKey}}
      @flexDirection="column"
      @borderStyle="round"
      @borderColor="cyan"
      @padding={{1}}
      @gap={{1}}
    >
      <Text @bold={{true}} @color="cyan">Last key: <Text @color="white">{{this.lastKey}}</Text></Text>
      {{#each this.log as |entry|}}
        <Text @color="gray">{{entry}}</Text>
      {{/each}}
    </Box>
  </template>
}

API

render(tree, options?)

Mount a component and render the output.

tree

Type: Component

The root component to render.

options

Type: object

stdout

Type: stream.Writable
Default: process.stdout

Output stream where the app will be rendered.

stdin

Type: stream.Readable
Default: process.stdin

Input stream where the app will listen for input.

stderr

Type: stream.Writable
Default: process.stderr

Error stream.

startRender(document, options?)

Start the render loop for a document.

document

Type: DocumentNode

The document node to render.

options

Type: object

enableMouse

Type: boolean
Default: false

When true, enables terminal mouse tracking by calling enableMouseTracking automatically at startup. Mouse tracking is also disabled automatically on process exit (exit, SIGINT, SIGTERM).

noRedrawOnBackBufferWrite

Type: boolean
Default: false

When true, the renderer will not trigger a full redraw when writes to the back buffer are detected. Useful in environments where background writes (e.g. subprocesses printing to stdout) would otherwise cause unnecessary screen flicker.

Dirty Tracking

Ember TUI uses an internal dirty-tracking system to minimise the amount of work done on every render cycle. Instead of re-rendering the entire component tree on every tick, only the nodes that have actually changed are re-processed.

How it works

Every ElementNode in the virtual DOM carries two flags:

Flag	Meaning
`_isDirty`	This node's own attributes or content changed and it must be re-rendered.
`_childrenDirty`	At least one descendant is dirty; the node itself may still be clean.

When a node's attributes change (e.g. a new @color or @width is passed to a <Box> or <Text>), markDirty() is called automatically. The flag propagates upward through the entire ancestor chain so that no parent is skipped during traversal.

During rendering, the engine uses a skipClean pass: if a node is neither dirty itself nor has any dirty descendants (and is not covered by a dirty absolute box), its subtree is skipped entirely. Once a node has been rendered, both flags are cleared via clearDirty().

Absolute-positioned box overlap

Boxes with position="absolute" can visually cover other nodes. The renderer tracks these overlap relationships:

When an absolute box moves or changes, every node it overlaps is automatically marked dirty so the underlying content is repainted correctly.
When an absolute box is removed or its position changes, clearOverlapTracking() is called, which marks the previously-covered nodes dirty (using markSubtreeDirty()) so stale ANSI codes are cleared from the output buffer.

This means you do not need to do anything special when animating or toggling absolutely-positioned overlays — the dirty system handles repainting the content underneath.

Practical impact

Reduced CPU usage — static parts of the UI (unchanged text, stable boxes) are not reprocessed every frame.
Correct overlay clearing — content behind a removed or moved absolute box is always repainted.
Transparent to the developer — dirtiness is set automatically by setAttribute and child-insertion hooks; there is no public API to call.
