# Cline SDK Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Consolidated skill for building AI agents with the Cline SDK. Use the decision trees below to find the right entry point and API surface, then load detailed references.
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
Follow these rules in all Cline SDK code:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install with `npm install @cline/sdk`. The `@cline/sdk` package re-exports everything from `@cline/core`, `@cline/agents`, `@cline/llms`, and `@cline/shared`.
|
||||
2. Requires Node.js 22 or later.
|
||||
3. Use `createTool()` from `@cline/sdk` (or `@cline/shared`) to define tools. Tool names must be `snake_case`.
|
||||
4. Return errors as structured data from tool `execute` functions. Throwing counts as a "mistake" against the agent's mistake limit.
|
||||
5. Use `lifecycle: { completesRun: true }` on tools that should end the agent loop (e.g. a "submit answer" tool).
|
||||
6. When using `ClineCore`, always call `dispose()` when done to clean up resources.
|
||||
7. The standalone `Agent` and `ClineCore` have different event systems. For `Agent`: use `agent.subscribe()` to get `AgentRuntimeEvent` types (text streaming is `"assistant-text-delta"`, result text is `result.outputText`). For `ClineCore`: use `cline.subscribe()` to get `CoreSessionEvent` types (text streaming is `"chunk"` with `payload.type === "text"`, result text is `result.text`). There is no top-level `onEvent` field on `AgentRuntimeConfig` -- use `agent.subscribe()` or `hooks.onEvent` instead. Do not use event types like `"content_update"` or `"content_start"` with `agent.subscribe()` -- those are internal legacy types from the ClineCore adapter layer.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Use This Skill
|
||||
|
||||
### Reference File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
The two main API surfaces (`Agent` and `ClineCore`) follow a 4-file pattern. Cross-cutting concepts are single-file guides.
|
||||
|
||||
Each main API surface in `./references/<api>/` contains:
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Purpose | When to Read |
|
||||
|------|---------|--------------|
|
||||
| `REFERENCE.md` | Overview, when to use, quick start | Always read first |
|
||||
| `api.md` | Full API: classes, methods, config, types | Writing code |
|
||||
| `patterns.md` | Common patterns, best practices | Implementation guidance |
|
||||
| `gotchas.md` | Pitfalls, limitations, debugging | Troubleshooting |
|
||||
|
||||
Cross-cutting concepts in `./references/<concept>/` have `REFERENCE.md` as the entry point.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reading Order
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with `REFERENCE.md` for your chosen API surface
|
||||
2. Then read additional files relevant to your task:
|
||||
- Writing agent code -> `api.md`
|
||||
- Common patterns -> `patterns.md`
|
||||
- Creating tools -> `tools/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Adding plugins/hooks -> `plugins/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Configuring LLM providers -> `providers/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Streaming events -> `events/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Deploying to production -> `production/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Scheduling agents -> `scheduling/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Multi-agent orchestration -> `multi-agent/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Debugging -> `gotchas.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Paths
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./references/agent/REFERENCE.md # Start here for lightweight agents
|
||||
./references/clinecore/REFERENCE.md # Start here for full runtime
|
||||
./references/agent/api.md # Agent class, config, methods
|
||||
./references/tools/REFERENCE.md # Creating and using tools
|
||||
./references/plugins/REFERENCE.md # Plugin system
|
||||
./references/providers/REFERENCE.md # LLM provider configuration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Decision Trees
|
||||
|
||||
### "Which API surface should I use?"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Which API?
|
||||
+-- I want a simple, stateless agent with custom tools
|
||||
| +-- agent/ (Agent class from @cline/agents)
|
||||
+-- I need session persistence, built-in tools, config discovery
|
||||
| +-- clinecore/ (ClineCore from @cline/core)
|
||||
+-- I want built-in file/shell/search/web tools
|
||||
| +-- clinecore/ (has built-in tools; Agent does not)
|
||||
+-- I want scheduled or recurring agents
|
||||
| +-- clinecore/ (automation API)
|
||||
+-- I need multi-process or multi-client session sharing
|
||||
| +-- clinecore/ (hub-backed runtime)
|
||||
+-- I'm building a browser-compatible agent
|
||||
| +-- agent/ (no Node.js dependencies)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "I need to create tools"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Tools?
|
||||
+-- Define a custom tool with schema -> tools/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Use built-in tools (bash, editor, read_files) -> tools/REFERENCE.md (built-in section)
|
||||
+-- Control tool approval/policies -> tools/REFERENCE.md (policies section)
|
||||
+-- Tool that ends the agent loop -> tools/REFERENCE.md (completion tools)
|
||||
+-- Package tools as a reusable plugin -> plugins/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "I need to handle events"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Events?
|
||||
+-- Stream text/reasoning in real time -> events/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Track token usage and costs -> events/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Watch tool calls -> events/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Detect completion/errors -> events/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Hook into lifecycle stages -> plugins/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "I need to configure a model provider"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Providers?
|
||||
+-- Anthropic (Claude) -> providers/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- OpenAI (GPT) -> providers/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Google (Gemini/Vertex) -> providers/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- AWS Bedrock -> providers/REFERENCE.md

||||
+-- OpenAI-compatible (vLLM, Together, etc.) -> providers/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Custom/self-hosted provider -> providers/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "I need plugins or hooks"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Plugins?
|
||||
+-- Package tools + hooks together -> plugins/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Observe tool calls (logging, metrics) -> plugins/REFERENCE.md

|
||||
+-- Add system prompt rules -> plugins/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
+-- Distribute via npm/git -> plugins/REFERENCE.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "I need multi-agent coordination"
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Multi-agent?

# Agent Runtime
|
||||
|
||||
The `Agent` class (also exported as `AgentRuntime`) is the lightweight, stateless agent loop from `@cline/agents`. It handles the core iteration cycle: send messages to an LLM, execute tool calls, collect results, and repeat until the task is done.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Agent
|
||||
|
||||
| Use Agent when... | Use ClineCore instead when... |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| You want a simple agent with custom tools | You need built-in tools (bash, editor, etc.) |
|
||||
| You want minimal dependencies | You need session persistence |
|
||||
| You need browser compatibility | You need config discovery from `.cline/` |
|
||||
| You're building a stateless worker | You need multi-process session sharing |
|
||||
| You want full control over the runtime | You want batteries-included setup |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await agent.run("What is the capital of France?")
|
||||
console.log(result.outputText)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
The Agent operates in a loop:
|
||||
1. Accept user input (string, message, or array of messages)
|
||||
2. Build turn context (system prompt, messages, tools)
|
||||
3. Call the LLM provider
|
||||
4. If the model returns tool calls, execute them and loop back to step 3
|
||||
5. If the model returns text without tool calls, the run completes
|
||||
6. Emit events throughout for streaming
|
||||
|
||||
The agent is stateless in the sense that it does not persist anything to disk. Conversation history is held in memory and can be accessed via `snapshot()`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key APIs
|
||||
|
||||
- `new Agent(config)` or `createAgent(config)` - Create an agent
|
||||
- `agent.run(input)` - Start a run with user input
|
||||
- `agent.continue(input?)` - Continue an existing conversation
|
||||
- `agent.abort(reason?)` - Cancel an active run
|
||||
- `agent.subscribe(listener)` - Listen to streaming events
|
||||
- `agent.snapshot()` - Get current runtime state
|
||||
- `agent.restore(messages)` - Replace message history
|
||||
|
||||
See `api.md` for full API details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Turn Conversations
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const first = await agent.run("What is 2 + 2?")
|
||||
console.log(first.outputText)
|
||||
|
||||
const second = await agent.continue("Now multiply that by 3")
|
||||
console.log(second.outputText)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `agent.hasRun` to check if a run has already been executed, which determines whether to call `run()` or `continue()`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Streaming
|
||||
|
||||
Use `agent.subscribe()` to stream events in real time. Register the listener before calling `run()` to avoid missing early events.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no top-level `onEvent` field on the Agent config. For an async alternative, use `hooks.onEvent` (see `api.md` and `gotchas.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "assistant-text-delta") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await agent.run("What is the capital of France?")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `events/REFERENCE.md` for the full event type catalog.

# Agent API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Constructor
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent(config: AgentRuntimeConfig)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also available via factory function:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createAgent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = createAgent(config)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## AgentRuntimeConfig
|
||||
|
||||
Two config forms exist as a discriminated union:
|
||||
|
||||
### With Provider ID (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentRuntimeConfigWithProvider {
|
||||
providerId: string // e.g. "anthropic", "openai", "gemini"
|
||||
modelId: string // e.g. "claude-sonnet-4-6", "gpt-5.5"
|
||||
apiKey?: string // provider API key
|
||||
baseUrl?: string // custom endpoint
|
||||
headers?: Record<string, string>
|
||||
|
||||
systemPrompt?: string
|
||||
tools?: AgentTool[]
|
||||
initialMessages?: AgentMessage[]
|
||||
toolPolicies?: Record<string, ToolPolicy>
|
||||
hooks?: Partial<AgentRuntimeHooks>
|
||||
plugins?: AgentPlugin[]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### With Pre-built Model
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentRuntimeConfigWithModel {
|
||||
model: AgentModel // pre-built model from gateway
|
||||
|
||||
systemPrompt?: string
|
||||
tools?: AgentTool[]
|
||||
initialMessages?: AgentMessage[]
|
||||
toolPolicies?: Record<string, ToolPolicy>
|
||||
hooks?: Partial<AgentRuntimeHooks>
|
||||
plugins?: AgentPlugin[]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: there is no top-level `onEvent` field on `AgentRuntimeConfig`. For event streaming, use `agent.subscribe()` or `hooks.onEvent` (see AgentRuntimeHooks below).
|
||||
|
||||
## Methods
|
||||
|
||||
### run(input)
|
||||
|
||||
Start the agent with user input. Returns when the agent loop completes.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result: AgentRunResult = await agent.run("Build a REST API")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Input can be a string, an `AgentMessage`, or an array of `AgentMessage[]`.
|
||||
|
||||
### continue(input?)
|
||||
|
||||
Continue an existing conversation with optional new input.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result = await agent.continue("Now add authentication")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### abort(reason?)
|
||||
|
||||
Cancel the currently active run.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
agent.abort("User cancelled")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### subscribe(listener)
|
||||
|
||||
Register a listener for streaming events.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const unsubscribe = agent.subscribe((event: AgentRuntimeEvent) => {
|
||||
// handle event
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Later: stop listening
|
||||
unsubscribe()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### snapshot()
|
||||
|
||||
Get the current runtime state including message history.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const state: AgentRuntimeStateSnapshot = agent.snapshot()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### restore(messages)
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the agent's message history.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
agent.restore(previousMessages)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### hasRun
|
||||
|
||||
Boolean property indicating whether `run()` has been called at least once.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
if (agent.hasRun) {
|
||||
await agent.continue(input)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
await agent.run(input)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## AgentRunResult
|
||||
|
||||
Returned by `run()` and `continue()`.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentRunResult {
|
||||
agentId: string
|
||||
agentRole?: string
|
||||
runId: string
|
||||
status: "completed" | "aborted" | "failed"
|
||||
iterations: number
|
||||
outputText: string
|
||||
messages: readonly AgentMessage[]
|
||||
usage: AgentUsage
|
||||
error?: Error
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Status Values
|
||||
|
||||
- `"completed"` - Agent finished normally
|
||||
- `"aborted"` - Cancelled via `abort()`
|
||||
- `"failed"` - Unrecoverable error
|
||||
|
||||
## AgentMessage
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentMessage {
|
||||
id: string

||||
role: "user" | "assistant" | "tool"
|
||||
content: AgentMessagePart[]
|
||||
createdAt: number
|
||||
metadata?: Record<string, unknown>
|
||||
modelInfo?: { id: string; provider: string; family?: string }
|
||||
metrics?: {
|

||||
cost?: number
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
outputTokens: number
|
||||
cacheReadTokens: number
|
||||
cacheWriteTokens: number
|
||||
totalInputTokens: number
|
||||
totalOutputTokens: number
|
||||
totalCost?: number
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## AgentRuntimeHooks
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentRuntimeHooks {
|
||||
beforeRun?(context): AgentStopControl | undefined
|
||||
afterRun?(context): void
|
||||
beforeModel?(context): AgentBeforeModelResult | undefined
|
||||
afterModel?(context): AgentStopControl | undefined
|
||||
beforeTool?(context): AgentBeforeToolResult | undefined
|
||||
afterTool?(context): AgentAfterToolResult | undefined
|
||||
onEvent?(event: AgentRuntimeEvent): void | Promise<void>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Hooks can intercept and modify behavior at each stage. Return a stop control from `beforeRun`, `afterModel`, or `beforeTool` to halt the agent loop.
|
||||
|
||||
`hooks.onEvent` receives the same `AgentRuntimeEvent` types as `agent.subscribe()`, but hook callbacks are awaited (can be async), while `subscribe()` listeners are called synchronously. Use `subscribe()` for UI streaming and `hooks.onEvent` for async side effects like logging to an external service.
|
||||
|
||||
## AgentRuntimeStateSnapshot
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentRuntimeStateSnapshot {
|
||||
messages: readonly AgentMessage[]
|
||||
usage: AgentUsage
|
||||
iterations: number
|
||||
status: string
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Factory: createAgentRuntime
|
||||
|
||||
Lower-level factory that returns the same `Agent` class:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createAgentRuntime } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const runtime = createAgentRuntime(config)
|
||||
```

# Agent Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Loop Never Stops
|
||||
|
||||
If the agent keeps iterating without completing:
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure at least one tool has `lifecycle: { completesRun: true }` if you want the agent to explicitly finish.
|
||||
- Without any tools, the agent will complete after the model returns text without tool calls.
|
||||
- If using tools, ensure the system prompt guides the model toward calling the completion tool when done.
|
||||
- Check that `completesRun` tools return successfully (not throwing errors).
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Errors Count as Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
When a tool's `execute` function throws an exception, the SDK counts it as a "mistake." After too many mistakes, the agent stops with a `mistake_limit` finish reason.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, return errors as structured data:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Bad: throwing
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
throw new Error("File not found")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Good: returning error data
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
return { error: "File not found", path: input.path }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## run() vs continue()
|
||||
|
||||
- Call `run()` for the first interaction. It sets up the conversation.
|
||||
- Call `continue()` for subsequent messages. It appends to the existing conversation.
|
||||
- Calling `run()` a second time resets the conversation history.
|
||||
- Use `agent.hasRun` to check which method to call.
|
||||
|
||||
## Browser Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
`@cline/agents` (and by extension, the `Agent` class) is browser-safe with no Node.js dependencies. However, `@cline/core` and `ClineCore` require Node.js 22+. If you import from `@cline/sdk`, you get everything including the Node-only code. For browser usage, import directly from `@cline/agents`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/agents"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## No Top-Level onEvent on Agent Config
|
||||
|
||||
`AgentRuntimeConfig` does not have a top-level `onEvent` field. Passing `onEvent` to `new Agent({ onEvent: ... })` has no effect. There are two ways to receive events:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Option 1: subscribe() - synchronous, best for UI streaming
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({ ...config })
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "assistant-text-delta") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Option 2: hooks.onEvent - awaited, best for async side effects
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
...config,
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
onEvent: async (event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "assistant-text-delta") {
|
||||
await logToService(event.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both receive the same `AgentRuntimeEvent` types. Prefer `subscribe()` for streaming UI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Listener Timing
|
||||
|
||||
Register event listeners via `subscribe()` before calling `run()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Good: subscribe before run
|
||||
agent.subscribe(handler)
|
||||
const result = await agent.run(input)
|
||||
|
||||
// Bad: subscribing after run starts loses early events
|
||||
const promise = agent.run(input)
|
||||
agent.subscribe(handler) // may miss events
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Input Schema Matters
|
||||
|
||||
The model uses the tool's `inputSchema` to decide what arguments to pass. A vague or missing schema leads to incorrect tool calls.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `z.enum()` for fixed value sets, not free-form strings
|
||||
- Describe every property with `.describe()` in Zod or `description` in JSON Schema
|
||||
- Include constraints (rate limits, max values) in the tool description
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory and Long Conversations
|
||||
|
||||
The Agent holds all messages in memory. For long-running conversations, memory usage grows with each turn. Consider:
|
||||
|
||||
- Using `ClineCore` with compaction for long sessions
|
||||
- Periodically creating a new agent with a summary of the conversation
|
||||
- Monitoring `result.usage.totalInputTokens` to track context growth
|
||||
|
||||
## Abort Signal Handling in Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Long-running tools should respect the abort signal:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
execute: async (input, context) => {
|
||||
for (const item of items) {
|
||||
if (context.abortSignal?.aborted) {
|
||||
return { partial: results, aborted: true }
|
||||
}
|
||||
results.push(await process(item))
|
||||
}
|
||||
return { results }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Provider API Key
|
||||
|
||||
If you get authentication errors, check:
|
||||
|
||||
- `apiKey` is set in the config or via environment variables
|
||||
- The key matches the `providerId` (e.g., Anthropic key for `providerId: "anthropic"`)
|
||||
- For OpenAI-compatible providers, both `apiKey` and `baseUrl` are set
|
||||
|
||||
See `../providers/REFERENCE.md` for provider-specific setup.

# Agent Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Interactive CLI Agent
|
||||
|
||||
A multi-turn conversational agent in the terminal with streaming output:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import * as readline from "node:readline"
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant. Keep responses concise.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "assistant-text-delta") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const rl = readline.createInterface({
|
||||
input: process.stdin,
|
||||
output: process.stdout,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
function prompt(): void {
|
||||
rl.question("\nYou: ", async (input) => {
|
||||
const trimmed = input.trim()
|
||||
if (!trimmed || trimmed === "exit") {
|
||||
rl.close()
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
process.stdout.write("\nAssistant: ")
|
||||
|
||||
if (agent.hasRun) {
|
||||
await agent.continue(trimmed)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
await agent.run(trimmed)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
process.stdout.write("\n")
|
||||
prompt()
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
prompt()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conversational Agent (Slack Bot, Chat App)
|
||||
|
||||
Maintain per-thread agents with conversation memory:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const agents = new Map<string, Agent>()
|
||||
|
||||
async function handleMessage(threadId: string, message: string) {
|
||||
let agent = agents.get(threadId)
|
||||
if (!agent) {
|
||||
agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a concise assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
agents.set(threadId, agent)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const result = agent.hasRun
|
||||
? await agent.continue(message)
|
||||
: await agent.run(message)
|
||||
|
||||
return result.outputText
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming UI
|
||||
|
||||
Build a real-time UI by handling events via `subscribe()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [myTool],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
switch (event.type) {
|
||||
case "assistant-text-delta":
|
||||
ui.appendText(event.text)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "assistant-message":
|
||||
ui.endText()
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "turn-started":
|
||||
ui.startTurn(event.iteration)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "turn-finished":
|
||||
if (event.toolCallCount > 0) ui.showToolCount(event.toolCallCount)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "usage-updated":
|
||||
ui.updateUsage(event.usage.inputTokens, event.usage.outputTokens)
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await agent.run("Hello!")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Structured Output via Completion Tool
|
||||
|
||||
Use a tool with `completesRun: true` to extract structured data:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent, createTool } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import { z } from "zod"
|
||||
|
||||
const submitReview = createTool({
|
||||
name: "submit_review",
|
||||
description: "Submit the final code review with structured feedback.",
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
summary: z.string(),
|
||||
issues: z.array(z.object({
|
||||
file: z.string(),
|
||||
line: z.number(),
|
||||
severity: z.enum(["error", "warning", "info"]),
|
||||
message: z.string(),
|
||||
})),
|
||||
approved: z.boolean(),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
lifecycle: { completesRun: true },
|
||||
execute: async (input) => input,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "Review the code diff and submit structured feedback.",
|
||||
tools: [submitReview],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await agent.run(diffContent)
|
||||
const review = result.toolCalls.find(tc => tc.name === "submit_review")
|
||||
console.log(review?.output)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent with Abort/Timeout
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "Analyze this data.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const timeout = setTimeout(() => agent.abort("Timeout"), 30_000)
|
||||
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const result = await agent.run(data)
|
||||
if (result.status === "aborted") {
|
||||
console.log("Agent was aborted")
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
console.log(result.outputText)
|
||||
}
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
clearTimeout(timeout)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent with Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import type { AgentPlugin } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const loggingPlugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "logging",
|
||||
manifest: { capabilities: ["hooks"] },
|
||||
setup() {},
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
beforeTool({ toolCall }) {
|
||||
console.log(`Calling tool: ${toolCall.toolName}`)
|
||||
},
|
||||
afterRun({ result }) {
|
||||
console.log(`Completed in ${result.iterations} iterations`)
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [myTool],
|
||||
plugins: [loggingPlugin],
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Restoring State Across Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
Save and restore agent state manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Save state
|
||||
const snapshot = agent.snapshot()
|
||||
const serialized = JSON.stringify(snapshot.messages)
|
||||
|
||||
// Later: restore
|
||||
const agent2 = new Agent({ ...config })
|
||||
const messages = JSON.parse(serialized)
|
||||
agent2.restore(messages)
|
||||
const result = await agent2.continue("Continue where we left off")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For automatic persistence, use `ClineCore` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-Built Model via Gateway
|
||||
|
||||
For advanced provider configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import { createGateway } from "@cline/llms"
|
||||
|
||||
const gateway = createGateway({
|
||||
providerConfigs: [
|
||||
{ providerId: "anthropic", apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
|
||||
{ providerId: "openai", apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY },
|
||||
],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const model = gateway.createAgentModel({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-opus-4-7",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
model,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
```

# ClineCore Runtime
|
||||
|
||||
`ClineCore` is the full-featured runtime from `@cline/core`. It wraps the `Agent` loop with session persistence, built-in tools (bash, editor, file reading, search, web fetch), config discovery, plugin loading, and optional hub-backed multi-process support.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use ClineCore
|
||||
|
||||
| Use ClineCore when... | Use Agent instead when... |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| You need built-in tools (bash, editor, etc.) | You only need custom tools |
|
||||
| You want session persistence to disk | Stateless is fine |
|
||||
| You need config discovery from `.cline/` dirs | You handle config yourself |
|
||||
| You want scheduled/automated agents | You don't need scheduling |
|
||||
| You need multi-client session sharing | Single-process is fine |
|
||||
| You're building a full application | You want minimal dependencies |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Set up CI with GitHub Actions",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
cwd: "/path/to/project",
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(session.result?.text)
|
||||
await cline.dispose()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
Every `cline.start()` call creates a session with a unique ID. Sessions persist their messages and metadata to SQLite. You can list, read, resume, and delete sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Built-in Tools
|
||||
|
||||
ClineCore provides these tools automatically when `enableTools: true`:
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `bash` | Execute shell commands |
|
||||
| `editor` | Edit files |
|
||||
| `read_files` | Read file contents |
|
||||
| `apply_patch` | Apply unified diffs |
|
||||
| `search` | Search file contents and structure |
|
||||
| `fetch_web` | HTTP requests and web content |
|
||||
|
||||
### Config Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
ClineCore watches `.cline/` directories for:
|
||||
- Rules (system prompt additions)
|
||||
- Skills (domain knowledge)
|
||||
- Workflows (multi-step procedures)
|
||||
- Hooks (lifecycle logic)
|
||||
- Plugins (tool + hook bundles)
|
||||
- MCP servers (external tool providers)
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend Modes
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `"auto"` (default) | Tries to connect to a local hub; falls back to in-process if unavailable |
|
||||
| `"local"` | In-process execution, local SQLite storage, no hub |
|
||||
| `"hub"` | Requires a compatible local WebSocket hub; fails if unavailable |
|
||||
| `"remote"` | Connects to an explicit remote hub endpoint |
|
||||
|
||||
The default mode is `"auto"`. For simple scripts and CLI tools, `"local"` avoids hub discovery overhead. Hub mode enables multi-client session sharing (e.g., a dashboard watching a running session from another process).
|
||||
|
||||

||||
See `api.md` for full API details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Streaming
|
||||
|
||||
`cline.subscribe()` emits `CoreSessionEvent` types. These are different from the `AgentRuntimeEvent` types emitted by the standalone `Agent` class -- see `../events/REFERENCE.md` for the full comparison.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
cline.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
switch (event.type) {
|
||||
case "chunk":
|
||||
if (event.payload.type === "text") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.payload.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "ended":
|
||||
console.log(`Session ended: ${event.payload.finishReason}`)
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
ClineCore results use `AgentResult` with `.text` (not `.outputText` like the standalone Agent's `AgentRunResult`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Persistence
|
||||
|
||||
Sessions are stored at:
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.cline/data/sessions/
|
||||
sessions.db # SQLite database
|
||||
[session-id].json # Message history
|
||||
```

# ClineCore API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating ClineCore
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create(options: ClineCoreOptions)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ClineCoreOptions
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ClineCoreOptions {
|
||||
clientName: string // identifies your app
|
||||
distinctId?: string // user/instance identifier
|
||||
backendMode?: "auto" | "local" | "hub" | "remote"
|
||||
hub?: HubOptions
|
||||
remote?: RemoteOptions
|
||||
capabilities?: RuntimeCapabilities
|
||||
toolPolicies?: Record<string, ToolPolicy>
|
||||
automation?: boolean | ClineCoreAutomationOptions
|
||||
fetch?: typeof fetch
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### RuntimeCapabilities
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface RuntimeCapabilities {
|
||||
requestToolApproval?: (request: ToolApprovalRequest) => Promise<ToolApprovalResult>
|
||||
// ... other capability callbacks
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Starting Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
### start(input)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const session = await cline.start(input: ClineCoreStartInput)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a `StartSessionResult`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface StartSessionResult {
|
||||
sessionId: string
|
||||
manifest: SessionManifest
|
||||
manifestPath: string
|
||||
messagesPath: string
|
||||
result?: AgentResult
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ClineCoreStartInput
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ClineCoreStartInput {
|
||||
prompt: string
|
||||
config: CoreSessionConfig
|
||||
source?: string
|
||||
interactive?: boolean
|
||||
sessionMetadata?: Record<string, unknown>
|
||||
initialMessages?: AgentMessage[]
|
||||
toolPolicies?: Record<string, ToolPolicy>
|
||||
capabilities?: RuntimeCapabilities
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CoreSessionConfig
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface CoreSessionConfig {
|
||||
cwd?: string // working directory
|
||||
providerId: string // LLM provider
|
||||
modelId: string // model identifier
|
||||
apiKey?: string // provider API key
|
||||
systemPrompt?: string // custom system prompt
|
||||
tools?: readonly AgentTool[] // additional custom tools
|
||||
enableTools?: boolean // enable built-in tools
|
||||
hooks?: Partial<AgentRuntimeHooks> // runtime hooks
|
||||
extensions?: AgentPlugin[] // plugins loaded inline
|
||||
pluginPaths?: string[] // paths to plugin packages
|
||||
extensionLoading?: "isolated" | "direct"
|
||||
extensionContext?: { // context passed to plugin setup()
|
||||
workspace?: { rootPath: string; cwd: string }
|
||||
}
|
||||
checkpointConfig?: CoreCheckpointConfig
|
||||
compactionConfig?: CoreCompactionConfig
|
||||
telemetry?: ITelemetryService
|
||||
logger?: BasicLogger
|
||||
enableSpawnAgent?: boolean // enable sub-agent spawning
|
||||
enableAgentTeams?: boolean // enable team coordination
|
||||
teamName?: string // team identifier
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`extensions` passes plugin objects directly. `pluginPaths` points to directories with `package.json` containing a `cline.plugins` field. Set `extensionContext.workspace` so plugins receive `ctx.workspaceInfo` in their `setup()` call -- without it, `ctx.workspaceInfo` is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
## Follow-Up Messages
|
||||
|
||||
### send({ sessionId, prompt })
|
||||
|
||||
Send a follow-up message to an existing session:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result = await cline.send({
|
||||
sessionId: session.sessionId,
|
||||
prompt: "Now add authentication",
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns `AgentResult | undefined`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Subscription
|
||||
|
||||
### subscribe(listener, options?)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const unsubscribe = cline.subscribe(
|
||||
(event: CoreSessionEvent) => {
|
||||
// handle events
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ sessionId: "optional-filter" }
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CoreSessionEvent
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
type CoreSessionEvent =
|
||||
| { type: "chunk"; payload: SessionChunkEvent }
|
||||
| { type: "agent_event"; payload: { sessionId: string, event: AgentEvent } }
|
||||
| { type: "ended"; payload: SessionEndedEvent }
|
||||
| { type: "team_progress"; payload: SessionTeamProgressEvent }
|
||||
| { type: "status"; payload: { sessionId: string, status: string } }
|
||||
| { type: "hook"; payload: SessionToolEvent }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Management
|
||||
|
||||
### list(limit?, options?)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const sessions: SessionRecord[] = await cline.list(50)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### get(sessionId)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const session: SessionRecord = await cline.get(sessionId)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### readMessages(sessionId)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const messages: AgentMessage[] = await cline.readMessages(sessionId)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### getAccumulatedUsage(sessionId)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const usage = await cline.getAccumulatedUsage(sessionId)
|
||||
// usage.usage - root agent only
|
||||
// usage.aggregateUsage - root + subagents/teammates
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### update(sessionId, updates)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.update(sessionId, { title: "New title" })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### abort(sessionId, reason?)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.abort(sessionId, "User cancelled")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### stop(sessionId)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.stop(sessionId)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### delete(sessionId)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.delete(sessionId)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### restore(input)
|
||||
|
||||
Restore a session from a checkpoint:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.restore({ sessionId, checkpointId })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### dispose(reason?)
|
||||
|
||||
Clean up all resources. Always call this when done:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.dispose("Shutting down")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## AgentResult
|
||||
|
||||
Returned by session operations:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentResult {
|
||||
text: string
|
||||
usage: LegacyAgentUsage
|
||||
messages: MessageWithMetadata[]
|
||||
toolCalls: ToolCallRecord[]
|
||||
iterations: number
|
||||
finishReason: "completed" | "max_iterations" | "aborted" | "mistake_limit" | "error"
|
||||
model: { id: string; provider: string; info?: ModelInfo }
|
||||
startedAt: Date
|
||||
endedAt: Date
|
||||
durationMs: number
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Policies
|
||||
|
||||
Control tool access at the session level:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Review the code",
|
||||
config: { ... },
|
||||
toolPolicies: {
|
||||
read_files: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
bash: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
editor: { enabled: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ToolPolicy
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface ToolPolicy {
|
||||
enabled?: boolean // false = tool is hidden from the model
|
||||
autoApprove?: boolean // false = requires approval callback
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Interactive Approval
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "my-app",
|
||||
capabilities: {
|
||||
requestToolApproval: async (request) => {
|
||||
console.log(`Tool: ${request.toolName}, Input: ${JSON.stringify(request.input)}`)
|
||||
const approved = await askUser(`Allow ${request.toolName}?`)
|
||||
return { approved }
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Automation API
|
||||
|
||||
When `automation` is enabled in `ClineCore.create()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "my-app",
|
||||
automation: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Access automation methods
|
||||
cline.automation.start()
|
||||
cline.automation.stop()
|
||||
cline.automation.reconcile(specs)
|
||||
cline.automation.ingestEvent(event)
|
||||
cline.automation.listEvents()
|
||||
cline.automation.listSpecs()
|
||||
cline.automation.listRuns()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Settings API
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Read settings
|
||||
const settings = await cline.settings.list()
|
||||
|
||||
// Toggle tools, plugins, MCP servers
|
||||
await cline.settings.toggle({ type: "tool", name: "bash", enabled: true })
|
||||
```

# ClineCore Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
## Always Call dispose()
|
||||
|
||||
`ClineCore` holds resources (file watchers, database connections, hub connections). Failing to call `dispose()` can leave orphan processes and file locks.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// ... use cline
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
await cline.dispose()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Node.js 22 Required
|
||||
|
||||
ClineCore and `@cline/core` require Node.js 22 or later. If you're on an older version, you'll get runtime errors. Check with `node --version`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Config vs Global Config
|
||||
|
||||
Tool policies can be set at two levels:
|
||||
- Global: in `ClineCore.create({ toolPolicies })` -- applies to all sessions
|
||||
- Per-session: in `cline.start({ toolPolicies })` -- overrides global for that session
|
||||
|
||||
Per-session policies take precedence.
|
||||
|
||||
## enableTools Must Be Explicit
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in tools (bash, editor, read_files, etc.) are not available unless you set `enableTools: true` in the session config:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Read package.json",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
enableTools: true, // required for built-in tools
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Without this, the agent only has access to custom tools you provide via `config.tools`.
|
||||
|
||||
## cwd Matters for Built-in Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in tools like `bash`, `editor`, and `read_files` operate relative to `config.cwd`. If not set, they use the process working directory. Always set it explicitly for predictable behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
cwd: "/absolute/path/to/project",
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hub Startup Latency
|
||||
|
||||
With `backendMode: "auto"`, the first session may be slow if a hub daemon needs to be spawned. For immediate responsiveness:
|
||||
- Use `backendMode: "local"` for in-process execution (fastest startup)
|
||||
- Pre-warm the hub with `cline hub ensure` CLI command
|
||||
- Accept the one-time startup cost and let subsequent sessions reuse the hub
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Storage Location
|
||||
|
||||
Sessions are stored at `~/.cline/data/sessions/`. This includes:
|
||||
- `sessions.db` - SQLite database with session metadata
|
||||
- `[session-id].json` - Individual message history files
|
||||
|
||||
If you're running in a container or ephemeral environment, these paths may not persist across restarts.
|
||||
|
||||
## requestToolApproval Blocks Execution
|
||||
|
||||
When a tool policy has `autoApprove: false` and you provide a `requestToolApproval` callback, the agent loop blocks until your callback resolves. If your callback never resolves (e.g., waiting for user input that never comes), the session hangs.
|
||||
|
||||
For automated pipelines, either:
|
||||
- Set all tools to `autoApprove: true`
|
||||
- Implement a timeout in your approval callback
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin Discovery Paths
|
||||
|
||||
ClineCore discovers plugins from:
|
||||
- Global: `~/.cline/plugins/`
|
||||
- Workspace: `.cline/plugins/`
|
||||
|
||||
For SDK consumers, pass plugins via `extensions: [plugin]` or `pluginPaths: ["./path"]` in the session config.
|
||||
|
||||
If a plugin isn't loading, verify:
|
||||
- The file is in one of the discovery directories, or passed via `extensions`/`pluginPaths`
|
||||
- The file exports a default plugin object with a non-empty `manifest.capabilities` array
|
||||
- Every `api.register*` call in `setup()` has a matching capability declared
|
||||
- If `hooks` is present on the plugin, `"hooks"` is in `capabilities`
|
||||
|
||||
## extensionContext.workspace Is Required for Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
If your plugins use `ctx.workspaceInfo` (e.g., to resolve workspace paths), you must set `extensionContext.workspace` in the session config. Without it, `ctx.workspaceInfo` is undefined:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
extensions: [myPlugin],
|
||||
extensionContext: {
|
||||
workspace: { rootPath: process.cwd(), cwd: process.cwd() },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI sets this automatically, but SDK consumers must set it explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
## send() Requires an Active Session
|
||||
|
||||
`cline.send()` only works on sessions that are still active. If a session has already completed, `send()` may return `undefined` or fail. Check session status with `cline.get(sessionId)` first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Result May Be Undefined
|
||||
|
||||
`session.result` can be `undefined` if the session was started but hasn't completed yet (e.g., in a non-blocking hub mode). Check for this:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({ ... })
|
||||
if (session.result) {
|
||||
console.log(session.result.text)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
console.log("Session started but not yet complete")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Compaction and Long Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
For long-running sessions, message history grows and eventually exceeds the model's context window. ClineCore handles this via compaction, which summarizes older messages. Configure it via `compactionConfig`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
compactionConfig: {
|
||||
strategy: "summarize",
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The default strategy works for most cases, but extremely long sessions may benefit from tuning.

# ClineCore Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Session with Built-in Tools
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Read package.json and summarize the dependencies",
|

modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
cwd: process.cwd(),
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(session.result?.text)
|
||||
await cline.dispose()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming Session with UI Updates
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
cline.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
switch (event.type) {
|
||||
case "chunk":
|
||||
if (event.payload.type === "text") {
|
||||
ui.appendText(event.payload.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "ended":
|
||||
ui.showComplete(event.payload.finishReason)
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Refactor the auth module",

||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
cwd: "/path/to/project",
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Turn Session
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Create a new Express server",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
cwd: "/path/to/project",
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Follow-up
|
||||
const result = await cline.send({
|
||||
sessionId: session.sessionId,
|
||||
prompt: "Now add a health check endpoint",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(result?.text)
|
||||
await cline.dispose()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tiered Permission Model
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-approve reads, require approval for writes:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "my-app",
|
||||
toolPolicies: {
|
||||
read_files: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
search: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
fetch_web: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
bash: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
editor: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
apply_patch: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
capabilities: {
|
||||
requestToolApproval: async (request) => {
|
||||
const approved = await promptUser(
|
||||
`Allow ${request.toolName}?\n${JSON.stringify(request.input, null, 2)}`
|
||||
)
|
||||
return { approved }
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Tools Alongside Built-ins
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore, createTool } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import { z } from "zod"
|
||||
|
||||
const deployTool = createTool({
|
||||
name: "deploy",
|
||||
description: "Deploy the application to the specified environment.",
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
environment: z.enum(["staging", "production"]),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
const result = await runDeployment(input.environment)
|
||||
return { url: result.url, status: "deployed" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Deploy the app to staging",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
cwd: process.cwd(),
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
tools: [deployTool],
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Session with Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
Load plugins inline with `extensions` and provide workspace context so plugins can access `ctx.workspaceInfo`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import myPlugin from "./my-plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "my-app",
|
||||
backendMode: "local",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Do the thing my plugin enables",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
cwd: process.cwd(),
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
extensions: [myPlugin],
|
||||
extensionContext: {
|
||||
workspace: { rootPath: process.cwd(), cwd: process.cwd() },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.dispose()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For directory-based plugin packages, use `pluginPaths` instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
pluginPaths: ["./my-cline-plugin"],
|
||||
extensionContext: {
|
||||
workspace: { rootPath: process.cwd(), cwd: process.cwd() },
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `../plugins/REFERENCE.md` for the full plugin authoring guide.
|
||||
|
||||
## Session Listing and Replay
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
// List recent sessions
|
||||
const sessions = await cline.list(10)
|
||||
for (const session of sessions) {
|
||||
console.log(`${session.id}: ${session.title}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Read messages from a past session
|
||||
const messages = await cline.readMessages(sessions[0].id)
|
||||
for (const msg of messages) {
|
||||
console.log(`[${msg.role}] ${msg.content}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Check usage
|
||||
const usage = await cline.getAccumulatedUsage(sessions[0].id)
|
||||
console.log(`Total tokens: ${usage.aggregateUsage.totalInputTokens + usage.aggregateUsage.totalOutputTokens}`)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Graceful Shutdown
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
process.on("SIGTERM", async () => {
|
||||
await cline.dispose("SIGTERM received")
|
||||
process.exit(0)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Run sessions...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Stateless Worker Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
For request/response workloads (API endpoints, queue consumers):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "worker",
|
||||
backendMode: "local",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
async function handleRequest(prompt: string, workspace: string) {
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt,
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
cwd: workspace,
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
text: session.result?.text,
|
||||
usage: session.result?.usage,
|
||||
sessionId: session.sessionId,
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hub-Backed Multi-Client
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple clients can attach to the same session:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Process 1: start session
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "backend",
|
||||
backendMode: "hub",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Long running refactor task",
|
||||
config: { ... },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Process 2: attach and stream events
|
||||
const viewer = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "dashboard",
|
||||
backendMode: "hub",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
viewer.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
dashboard.render(event)
|
||||
}, { sessionId: session.sessionId })
|
||||
```

# Events
|
||||
|
||||
The Cline SDK has three event layers. Which one you use depends on whether you're working with the standalone `Agent` class or `ClineCore`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Which Events Do I Get?
|
||||
|
||||
| If you use... | You subscribe with... | You receive... | Text streaming event |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Standalone `Agent` | `agent.subscribe()` | `AgentRuntimeEvent` | `assistant-text-delta` |
|
||||
| `ClineCore` | `cline.subscribe()` | `CoreSessionEvent` | `chunk` (with `payload.type === "text"`) |
|
||||
|
||||
These are different event types with different shapes. Do not mix them up.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layer 1: AgentRuntimeEvent (Standalone Agent)
|
||||
|
||||
Emitted by the `Agent` class via `agent.subscribe()`. This is what you get when using `new Agent(...)` directly. Every event includes a `snapshot` field with the current `AgentRuntimeStateSnapshot`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Run Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{ type: "run-started", snapshot }
|
||||
{ type: "run-finished", snapshot, result: AgentRunResult }
|
||||
{ type: "run-failed", snapshot, error: Error }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Turns
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{ type: "turn-started", snapshot, iteration: number }
|
||||
{ type: "turn-finished", snapshot, iteration: number, toolCallCount: number }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Streaming
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Streaming text delta (arrives as chunks during generation)
|
||||
{ type: "assistant-text-delta", snapshot, iteration: number, text: string, accumulatedText: string }
|
||||
|
||||
// Streaming reasoning delta (when model uses extended thinking)
|
||||
{ type: "assistant-reasoning-delta", snapshot, iteration: number, text: string }
|
||||
|
||||
// Complete assistant message after model finishes
|
||||
{ type: "assistant-message", snapshot, iteration: number, message: AgentMessage, finishReason: string }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Messages
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Fired when any message (user or assistant) is added to conversation history
|
||||
{ type: "message-added", snapshot, message: AgentMessage }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Events
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{ type: "tool-started", snapshot, toolCall: { toolName: string, toolCallId: string, input: unknown } }
|
||||
{ type: "tool-updated", snapshot, toolCall: { toolName: string, toolCallId: string }, update: string }
|
||||
{ type: "tool-finished", snapshot, toolCall: { toolName: string, toolCallId: string }, message: AgentMessage }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
type: "usage-updated",
|
||||
snapshot,
|
||||
usage: {
|
||||
inputTokens: number,
|
||||
outputTokens: number,
|
||||
cacheReadTokens?: number,
|
||||
cacheWriteTokens?: number,
|
||||
totalCost?: number,
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Notices
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{ type: "status-notice", snapshot, message: string, metadata?: Record<string, unknown> }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Subscribing
|
||||
|
||||
Use `agent.subscribe()`. Register the listener before calling `run()` to avoid missing early events.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
switch (event.type) {
|
||||
case "assistant-text-delta":
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.text)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "tool-started":
|
||||
console.log(`\nUsing tool: ${event.toolCall.toolName}`)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "usage-updated":
|
||||
console.log(`Cost: $${event.usage.totalCost?.toFixed(4)}`)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "run-finished":
|
||||
console.log(`\nDone: ${event.result.status}`)
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const result = await agent.run("Hello!")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also receive events through hooks (these are awaited, so they can be async):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
...config,
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
onEvent: async (event) => {
|
||||
// Same AgentRuntimeEvent types as subscribe()
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Layer 2: AgentEvent (ClineCore Internal)
|
||||
|
||||
When using `ClineCore`, a `RuntimeEventAdapter` translates Layer 1 events into a legacy format called `AgentEvent`. You do not interact with this layer directly -- it is projected into `CoreSessionEvent` for subscribers. The key mappings:
|
||||
|
||||
| AgentRuntimeEvent (Layer 1) | AgentEvent (Layer 2) |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `turn-started` | `iteration_start` |
|
||||
| `turn-finished` | `iteration_end` |
|
||||
| `assistant-text-delta` | `content_start` (text) |
|
||||
| `assistant-message` | `content_end` (text) |
|
||||
| `tool-started` | `content_start` (tool) |
|
||||
| `tool-updated` | `content_update` (tool) |
|
||||
| `tool-finished` | `content_end` (tool) |
|
||||
| `usage-updated` | `usage` (with computed deltas) |
|
||||
| `run-finished` | `done` |
|
||||
| `run-failed` | `error` |
|
||||
| `run-started`, `message-added` | (suppressed, not emitted) |
|
||||
|
||||
This layer exists for backwards compatibility. If you see event types like `content_update` or `iteration_start` in other documentation, they refer to this layer, not to what `agent.subscribe()` emits.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layer 3: CoreSessionEvent (ClineCore Subscriber)
|
||||
|
||||
Emitted by `ClineCore` via `cline.subscribe()`. These are higher-level session events.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
type CoreSessionEvent =
|
||||
| { type: "chunk"; payload: SessionChunkEvent }
|
||||
| { type: "agent_event"; payload: { sessionId: string, event: AgentEvent } }
|
||||
| { type: "ended"; payload: SessionEndedEvent }
|
||||
| { type: "team_progress"; payload: SessionTeamProgressEvent }
|
||||
| { type: "status"; payload: { sessionId: string, status: string } }
|
||||
| { type: "hook"; payload: SessionToolEvent }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SessionChunkEvent
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface SessionChunkEvent {
|
||||
type: "text" | "reasoning"
|
||||
text: string
|
||||
sessionId: string
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SessionEndedEvent
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface SessionEndedEvent {
|
||||
sessionId: string
|
||||
finishReason: "completed" | "max_iterations" | "aborted" | "mistake_limit" | "error"
|
||||
result?: AgentResult
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Subscribing
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
cline.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
switch (event.type) {
|
||||
case "chunk":
|
||||
if (event.payload.type === "text") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.payload.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "ended":
|
||||
console.log(`Finished: ${event.payload.finishReason}`)
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Filter by session:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
cline.subscribe(handler, { sessionId: "specific-session-id" })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hub Events (Layer 3b)
|
||||
|
||||
When ClineCore runs in hub mode (via `backendMode: "hub"` or `"auto"` when a hub is available), events are projected over WebSocket using `HubEventName` types like `assistant.delta`, `iteration.started`, `tool.started`, etc. You do not interact with these directly -- `cline.subscribe()` still gives you `CoreSessionEvent` regardless of backend mode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Result Type Differences
|
||||
|
||||
The standalone Agent and ClineCore return different result types:
|
||||
|
||||
| API | Result type | Text property |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `agent.run()` | `AgentRunResult` | `result.outputText` |
|
||||
| `cline.start()` / `cline.send()` | `AgentResult` | `result.text` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming Text (Standalone Agent)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "assistant-text-delta") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming Text (ClineCore)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
cline.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "chunk" && event.payload.type === "text") {
|
||||
process.stdout.write(event.payload.text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage Tracking (Standalone Agent)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "usage-updated" && event.usage.totalCost) {
|
||||
console.log(`Running cost: $${event.usage.totalCost.toFixed(4)}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Call Logging (Standalone Agent)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "tool-started") {
|
||||
console.log(`Tool started: ${event.toolCall.toolName}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (event.type === "tool-finished") {
|
||||
console.log(`Tool finished: ${event.toolCall.toolName}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```

# Multi-Agent Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
The Cline SDK supports two models for multi-agent work: sub-agents (parent-child) and teams (peer-to-peer).
|
||||
|
||||
## Sub-Agents vs Teams
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Sub-Agents | Teams |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|-------|
|
||||
| Enable with | `enableSpawnAgent: true` | `enableAgentTeams: true` |
|
||||
| Persistence | Session-scoped only | Across sessions |
|
||||
| Coordination | Parent-child hierarchy | Peer-to-peer |
|
||||
| Shared state | None | Task board, mailbox, mission log |
|
||||
| Best for | One-off delegation | Complex multi-session projects |
|
||||
|
||||
## Sub-Agents
|
||||
|
||||
Sub-agents are spawned by a parent agent during a run. They execute independently and report results back.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enabling Sub-Agents
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Refactor the auth module and update tests",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
enableSpawnAgent: true,
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When `enableSpawnAgent` is true, the agent gets access to sub-agent tools:
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `start_subagent` | Spawn a background agent with a task |
|
||||
| `message_subagent` | Send a message to a running sub-agent |
|
||||
| `handoff_to_agent` | Delegate the current task entirely |
|
||||
| `submit_and_exit` | Signal completion |
|
||||
|
||||
### How Sub-Agents Work
|
||||
|
||||
1. The parent agent decides a subtask can be delegated
|
||||
2. It calls `start_subagent` with a role, task description, and optionally a preset
|
||||
3. The sub-agent runs independently in the background
|
||||
4. The parent can check status or send follow-up messages
|
||||
5. Sub-agent results are available to the parent when complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Teams
|
||||
|
||||
Teams provide persistent, cross-session coordination between agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enabling Teams
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
enableAgentTeams: true,
|
||||
teamName: "auth-sprint",
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Tools
|
||||
|
||||
When `enableAgentTeams` is true, the coordinator agent gets:
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `team_spawn_teammate` | Create a new agent with a role and task |
|
||||
| `team_delegate_task` | Assign a task to an existing teammate |
|
||||
| `team_check_status` | Check on a delegated task's progress |
|
||||
| `team_get_result` | Get the completed result from a teammate |
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Persistence
|
||||
|
||||
Teams store shared state in:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.cline/data/teams/[team-name]/
|
||||
task-board.json # task assignments and status
|
||||
mailbox.json # inter-agent messages
|
||||
mission-log.json # coordination log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This state persists across sessions, so team members can pick up where they left off.
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Team Access
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cline --team-name auth-sprint "Continue the auth refactor"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Choosing Between Sub-Agents and Teams
|
||||
|
||||
Use sub-agents when:
|
||||
- You need one-off parallel execution within a single session
|
||||
- Tasks are independent and don't need to communicate with each other
|
||||
- Results only matter to the parent agent
|
||||
|
||||
Use teams when:
|
||||
- Work spans multiple sessions over time
|
||||
- Agents need to coordinate and share progress
|
||||
- Tasks have dependencies between them
|
||||
- You want a persistent record of multi-agent collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
## Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel Research with Sub-Agents
|
||||
|
||||
A parent agent spawns multiple sub-agents to research different topics simultaneously:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: `Research these three topics in parallel:
|
||||
1. Current best practices for JWT auth
|
||||
2. OAuth 2.0 provider comparison
|
||||
3. Session management patterns
|
||||
Spawn a sub-agent for each topic, then synthesize the results.`,
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
enableSpawnAgent: true,
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Team Sprint
|
||||
|
||||
A coordinator manages a multi-session project:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: `You are the coordinator for the auth-sprint team.
|
||||
Review the task board and delegate the next highest-priority task
|
||||
to a teammate. Check status on any in-progress tasks.`,
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
enableAgentTeams: true,
|
||||
teamName: "auth-sprint",
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```

# Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
A Cline plugin is a TypeScript module that extends any agent built on the Cline SDK. The same plugin runs in the Cline CLI, VS Code and JetBrains extensions, and any custom app built on `@cline/core`.
|
||||
|
||||
A plugin can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Register tools the model can call.
|
||||
- Hook into the agent loop before/after runs, model calls, and tool calls.
|
||||
- Rewrite provider messages before they hit the model (custom compaction, redaction, context shaping).
|
||||
- Register slash commands, prompt rules, providers, and automation event types.
|
||||
|
||||
A plugin ships in one of two shapes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Single-file plugin -- one `.ts` file that exports a default plugin object. Drop it in a discovery folder and it loads.
|
||||
2. Plugin package -- a directory with `package.json`, npm dependencies, and optionally bundled assets. Installable via `cline plugin install`.
|
||||
|
||||
Both shapes use the same plugin API.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Mental Model
|
||||
|
||||
When the host starts a session, it builds a registry of plugins and runs four phases:
|
||||
|
||||
1. resolve -- collect the plugin objects.
|
||||
2. validate -- check each plugin's `manifest`. Capabilities must be non-empty; declared hook stages must have matching handlers; if `hooks` is present, `"hooks"` must be in `capabilities`.
|
||||
3. setup -- call each plugin's `setup(api, ctx)` once. This is where you `registerTool`, `registerCommand`, etc.
|
||||
4. activate -- registry is frozen, the agent loop starts, and your hooks/tools are live.
|
||||
|
||||
Two invariants the registry enforces:
|
||||
|
||||
- Every contribution requires a matching capability. Calling `api.registerRule(...)` without `"rules"` in `manifest.capabilities` throws.
|
||||
- Capabilities and handlers must agree. Declaring `"hooks"` without a `hooks` object, or vice versa, fails validation.
|
||||
|
||||
After validation, registration is one-shot -- no dynamic register/unregister during the session.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Smallest Working Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import type { AgentPlugin } from "@cline/core"
|
||||
import { createTool } from "@cline/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const plugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "hello-plugin",
|
||||
manifest: {
|
||||
capabilities: ["tools"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
setup(api, ctx) {
|
||||
api.registerTool(
|
||||
createTool({
|
||||
name: "say_hello",
|
||||
description: "Greet a person by name.",
|
||||
inputSchema: {
|
||||
type: "object",
|
||||
properties: { name: { type: "string" } },
|
||||
required: ["name"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
async execute({ name }: { name: string }) {
|
||||
return { greeting: `Hello, ${name}!` }
|
||||
},
|
||||
}),
|
||||
)
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export default plugin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The agent will see `say_hello` as a callable tool.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Manifest
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
manifest: {
|
||||
capabilities: ["tools", "hooks"], // required, non-empty array
|
||||
paths?: string[], // optional, multi-entry packages
|
||||
providerIds?: string[], // optional, provider plugins
|
||||
modelIds?: string[], // optional, model plugins
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### The Complete Capability List
|
||||
|
||||
| Capability | What It Unlocks in `api` |
|
||||
|-----------|--------------------------|
|
||||
| `"tools"` | `api.registerTool()` |
|
||||
| `"commands"` | `api.registerCommand()` (slash commands in chat surfaces) |
|
||||
| `"rules"` | `api.registerRule()` (string injected into the system prompt) |
|
||||
| `"messageBuilders"` | `api.registerMessageBuilder()` (rewrites provider-bound messages) |
|
||||
| `"providers"` | `api.registerProvider()` (custom model provider) |
|
||||
| `"automationEvents"` | `api.registerAutomationEventType()` and `ctx.automation?.ingestEvent()` |
|
||||
| `"hooks"` | The runtime `hooks` object on the plugin (lifecycle callbacks) |
|
||||
|
||||
You declare any combination -- most real plugins need 1-3 capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
## setup(api, ctx) -- The Registration Phase
|
||||
|
||||
`setup()` runs once per session before the agent loop starts. Everything you register here is frozen for the lifetime of the session.
|
||||
|
||||
### The api Object
|
||||
|
||||
Each `register*` method requires the matching capability in your manifest:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
api.registerTool(tool) // requires "tools"
|
||||
api.registerCommand({ name, description, handler }) // requires "commands"
|
||||
api.registerRule({ id, content, source }) // requires "rules"
|
||||
api.registerMessageBuilder({ name, build }) // requires "messageBuilders"
|
||||
api.registerProvider({ name, description }) // requires "providers"
|
||||
api.registerAutomationEventType({ eventType, source }) // requires "automationEvents"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### The ctx Object -- Host-Provided Session Context
|
||||
|
||||
The second argument carries everything the host knows about the current session. All fields are optional, so feature-detect before using them -- the same plugin must work in hosts that supply less context (unit tests, sandboxed plugin processes).
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
ctx.session?.sessionId // string, stable core session id
|
||||
ctx.client?.name // host: "cline-cli", "cline-vscode", etc.
|
||||
ctx.user // authenticated user/org info, when available
|
||||
ctx.workspaceInfo // { rootPath, hint, latestGitBranchName,
|
||||
// latestGitCommitHash, associatedRemoteUrls }
|
||||
ctx.automation?.ingestEvent // emit normalized automation events
|
||||
ctx.logger?.log // structured logger scoped to this plugin
|
||||
ctx.telemetry // ITelemetryService, only present in-process
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Two rules about `ctx.workspaceInfo`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Always prefer `ctx.workspaceInfo?.rootPath` over `process.cwd()`. The CLI may have been launched with `--cwd` without calling `chdir`, and VS Code workspaces don't share a single CWD. `workspaceInfo` is sourced from the session config and is always correct.
|
||||
2. Don't use `import.meta.url` tricks to find "the workspace". That gives you the plugin's own location, not the user's project.
|
||||
|
||||
### Persisting State Across Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
`setup()` runs first; hooks fire later. The simplest way to share state is module-level variables:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
let sessionWorkspaceRoot: string | undefined
|
||||
let sessionBranch: string | undefined
|
||||
|
||||
const plugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "metrics",
|
||||
manifest: { capabilities: ["hooks"] },
|
||||
setup(api, ctx) {
|
||||
sessionWorkspaceRoot = ctx.workspaceInfo?.rootPath
|
||||
sessionBranch = ctx.workspaceInfo?.latestGitBranchName
|
||||
},
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
beforeTool({ toolCall, input }) {
|
||||
if (sessionBranch === "main" && toolCall.toolName === "run_commands") {
|
||||
// inspect input, optionally block
|
||||
}
|
||||
return undefined
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A single Node process may host multiple sessions concurrently. If your plugin will run in a multi-session host, key your state by `ctx.session?.sessionId`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const stateBySession = new Map<string, MyState>()
|
||||
setup(api, ctx) {
|
||||
const id = ctx.session?.sessionId
|
||||
if (id) stateBySession.set(id, /* ... */)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
Runtime hooks are typed in-process callbacks on the same hook layer the runtime uses internally. They run inside the agent loop with full type information -- no IPC, no JSON marshaling.
|
||||
|
||||
Declare `"hooks"` in `manifest.capabilities`, then add a `hooks` property:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const plugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "metrics",
|
||||
manifest: { capabilities: ["hooks"] },
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
beforeRun(ctx) { /* ... */ },
|
||||
beforeTool({ toolCall, input }) { /* ... */ },
|
||||
afterTool({ toolCall, result }) { /* ... */ },
|
||||
afterRun({ result }) { /* ... */ },
|
||||
onEvent(event) { /* ... */ },
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### The Seven Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
| Hook | Fires | Can Stop the Loop? | Common Uses |
|
||||
|------|-------|--------------------|-------------|
|
||||
| `beforeRun` | Before the runtime loop starts | Yes | Greet, log, attach session metadata |
|
||||
| `afterRun` | After the runtime loop finishes (success, abort, or fail) | No | Notifications, metrics, persistent logs |
|
||||
| `beforeModel` | Before each model request | Yes (mutate req) | Inject context, last-mile prompt edits |
|
||||
| `afterModel` | After each model response, before tool execution | Yes | Block based on model output |
|
||||
| `beforeTool` | Before each tool execution | Yes (`{ stop }`) | Audit, redact, block dangerous tools |
|
||||
| `afterTool` | After each tool execution | Can replace result | Post-process, redact secrets in tool output |
|
||||
| `onEvent` | On every `AgentRuntimeEvent` emitted by the runtime | No | Streaming UIs, telemetry pipes |
|
||||
|
||||
### Stopping the Loop from a Hook
|
||||
|
||||
Several hooks return an optional control object. The most common pattern is `beforeTool` blocking a destructive tool call:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
beforeTool({ toolCall, input }) {
|
||||
if (toolCall.toolName === "run_commands") {
|
||||
const { commands } = input as { commands?: string[] }
|
||||
if (sessionBranch === "main" && commands?.some(c => c.startsWith("git push"))) {
|
||||
return { stop: true, reason: "Blocked git push on protected branch" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return undefined // explicit "continue"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returning `undefined` (or omitting `return`) lets execution continue normally.
|
||||
|
||||
### afterRun Semantics
|
||||
|
||||
`afterRun` fires for every terminal status -- `completed`, `aborted`, `failed`. If you only want to act on success:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
afterRun({ result }) {
|
||||
if (result.status !== "completed") return
|
||||
// notify, log success metrics, etc.
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin Hooks vs File Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
The runtime supports two hook systems:
|
||||
|
||||
- File hooks -- external scripts in `.cline/hooks/` invoked with serialized JSON. Right for user/workspace-specific scripts that don't ship with code.
|
||||
- Plugin runtime hooks -- typed in-process callbacks. Right when the behavior belongs to a reusable extension and needs typed access to the runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
Core adapts file hooks onto the runtime hook layer, so you don't need both. If you're shipping a plugin, write it as runtime hooks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Message Builders
|
||||
|
||||
Message builders rewrite the provider-bound message list before the model call. They run after runtime messages are converted into SDK message blocks but before core's built-in safety builder.
|
||||
|
||||
Use them for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Custom compaction policies (replace middle history with a summary).
|
||||
- Redacting PII or secrets before they reach the provider.
|
||||
- Reshaping context for a specific model's strengths.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
api.registerMessageBuilder({
|
||||
name: "summarize-middle-history",
|
||||
build(messages) {
|
||||
if (estimateTokens(messages) < THRESHOLD) return messages
|
||||
return [...prefix, summary, ...recent]
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple builders run in registration order; the output of one is the input of the next.
|
||||
|
||||
When to use `beforeModel` instead: reach for the `beforeModel` hook only if you need the runtime snapshot or want to mutate the request object itself. Pure message rewrites belong in a builder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Automation Events
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins can declare normalized event types and emit them into Cline automation. Hosts that don't have automation enabled simply ignore both -- feature-detect `ctx.automation`.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
manifest: { capabilities: ["automationEvents"] },
|
||||
|
||||
setup(api, ctx) {
|
||||
api.registerAutomationEventType({
|
||||
eventType: "github.pull_request.opened",
|
||||
source: "github",
|
||||
description: "A new GitHub PR was opened",
|
||||
attributesSchema: { /* JSON Schema for envelope.attributes */ },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
if (!ctx.automation) return // host has no automation
|
||||
ctx.automation.ingestEvent({
|
||||
eventId: "pr-1234",
|
||||
eventType: "github.pull_request.opened",
|
||||
source: "github",
|
||||
subject: "owner/repo#1234",
|
||||
occurredAt: new Date().toISOString(),
|
||||
attributes: { /* ... */ },
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Loading a Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
There are three ways a plugin gets into a session:
|
||||
|
||||
### Auto-Discovery (CLI)
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI scans these directories on startup:
|
||||
|
||||
- `<workspace>/.cline/plugins/` -- project-scoped plugins.
|
||||
- `~/.cline/plugins/` -- user-scoped plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
Drop a `.ts` or `.js` file in, run `cline`, done:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .cline/plugins
|
||||
cp my-plugin.ts .cline/plugins/
|
||||
cline -i "do the thing my plugin enables"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Explicit extensions in SDK Config
|
||||
|
||||
When you build your own host with `ClineCore`, pass the plugin object directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import plugin from "./my-plugin"
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const host = await ClineCore.create({ backendMode: "local" })
|
||||
await host.start({
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY ?? "",
|
||||
cwd: process.cwd(),
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
extensions: [plugin],
|
||||
extensionContext: {
|
||||
workspace: { rootPath: process.cwd(), cwd: process.cwd() },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
prompt: "...",
|
||||
interactive: false,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### pluginPaths for Directory-Based Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
When the plugin is a directory with `package.json`, point `pluginPaths` at the directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
pluginPaths: ["./path/to/my-plugin-package"],
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or install with the CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cline plugin install ./path/to/my-plugin-package
|
||||
cline plugin install @scope/my-cline-plugin # from npm
|
||||
cline plugin install --git github.com/owner/repo # from git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Single-File Plugin Template
|
||||
|
||||
Save as `my-plugin.ts`, drop in `.cline/plugins/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { type AgentPlugin, ClineCore, createTool } from "@cline/core"
|
||||
|
||||
let sessionRoot: string | undefined
|
||||
|
||||
const plugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "my-plugin",
|
||||
manifest: {
|
||||
capabilities: ["tools", "hooks"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
setup(api, ctx) {
|
||||
sessionRoot = ctx.workspaceInfo?.rootPath
|
||||
|
||||
api.registerTool(
|
||||
createTool({
|
||||
name: "do_thing",
|
||||
description: "Do the thing this plugin exists for.",
|
||||
inputSchema: {
|
||||
type: "object",
|
||||
properties: { target: { type: "string" } },
|
||||
required: ["target"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
async execute(input) {
|
||||
const { target } = input as { target: string }
|
||||
return { ok: true, target, root: sessionRoot }
|
||||
},
|
||||
}),
|
||||
)
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
beforeRun() {
|
||||
console.log("[my-plugin] run started")
|
||||
},
|
||||
afterRun({ result }) {
|
||||
if (result.status !== "completed") return
|
||||
console.log(`[my-plugin] done in ${result.iterations} iteration(s)`)
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async function runDemo(): Promise<void> {
|
||||
const host = await ClineCore.create({ backendMode: "local" })
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const result = await host.start({
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY ?? "",
|
||||
cwd: process.cwd(),
|
||||
enableTools: true,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant. Use tools when needed.",
|
||||
extensions: [plugin],
|
||||
extensionContext: {
|
||||
workspace: { rootPath: process.cwd(), cwd: process.cwd() },
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
prompt: "Use do_thing on the target 'world'.",
|
||||
interactive: false,
|
||||
})
|
||||
console.log(result.result?.text ?? "")
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
await host.dispose()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (import.meta.main) {
|
||||
await runDemo()
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
export { plugin, runDemo }
|
||||
export default plugin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Copy it, rename the tool, swap in your logic. The `runDemo()` function lets you test with `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... bun run my-plugin.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Plugin Package
|
||||
|
||||
Use a plugin package when you need npm dependencies, multiple entry points, bundled assets, or npm/git distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-cline-plugin/
|
||||
+-- package.json
|
||||
+-- tsconfig.json (optional, for local typechecking)
|
||||
+-- index.ts (the plugin entry point)
|
||||
+-- README.md
|
||||
+-- assets/ (optional, bundled content)
|
||||
+-- templates/
|
||||
+-- schemas/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### package.json -- The Discovery Contract
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-cline-plugin",
|
||||
"version": "0.1.0",
|
||||
"private": true,
|
||||
"description": "What this plugin does, in one sentence.",
|
||||
"type": "module",
|
||||
"exports": {
|
||||
".": "./index.ts"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"cline": {
|
||||
"plugins": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"paths": ["./index.ts"],
|
||||
"capabilities": ["tools", "hooks"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"peerDependencies": {
|
||||
"@cline/core": "*"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"peerDependenciesMeta": {
|
||||
"@cline/core": { "optional": true }
|
||||
},
|
||||
"dependencies": {
|
||||
"zod": "^4.1.5"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Key fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- `type: "module"` -- required. Cline plugins are ES modules.
|
||||
- `cline.plugins` -- the discovery contract. Array of entries, each with `paths` (entry files) and `capabilities` (pre-declared, validated before importing).
|
||||
- `peerDependencies` for `@cline/core` -- the host already provides it. Marking it optional lets you typecheck in isolation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bundling Assets
|
||||
|
||||
Resolve asset paths with `import.meta.url`, not `process.cwd()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { dirname, join } from "node:path"
|
||||
import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url"
|
||||
import { readFileSync, existsSync } from "node:fs"
|
||||
|
||||
const MODULE_DIR = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
|
||||
const TEMPLATES_DIR = join(MODULE_DIR, "assets", "templates")
|
||||
|
||||
function loadTemplate(name: string): string | undefined {
|
||||
const path = join(TEMPLATES_DIR, `${name}.md`)
|
||||
return existsSync(path) ? readFileSync(path, "utf8") : undefined
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is the only place `import.meta.url` is appropriate in a plugin -- locating files inside the plugin package. For workspace paths, always use `ctx.workspaceInfo?.rootPath`.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Override Pattern (Bundled / Global / Project)
|
||||
|
||||
A package can ship default assets and let users override them. The convention is a three-tier lookup, last write wins by `name`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. bundled -- files inside the plugin package (defaults shipped with the plugin).
|
||||
2. global -- files under `~/.cline/data/settings/<kind>/` (user overrides).
|
||||
3. project -- files under `<workspace>/.cline/<kind>/` (project overrides).
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Plugin Entries
|
||||
|
||||
If your package exposes more than one plugin, list each in `cline.plugins`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"cline": {
|
||||
"plugins": [
|
||||
{ "paths": ["./tools-plugin.ts"], "capabilities": ["tools"] },
|
||||
{ "paths": ["./hooks-plugin.ts"], "capabilities": ["hooks"] }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each entry file should `export default` its own plugin object.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Your Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
|
||||
The plugin object is plain data. Drive `setup()` against a minimal context and exercise tools directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import plugin from "../my-plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
const tools: unknown[] = []
|
||||
const api = {
|
||||
registerTool: (t: unknown) => tools.push(t),
|
||||
registerCommand: () => {},
|
||||
registerRule: () => {},
|
||||
registerMessageBuilder: () => {},
|
||||
registerProvider: () => {},
|
||||
registerAutomationEventType: () => {},
|
||||
}
|
||||
await plugin.setup?.(api as never, {
|
||||
workspaceInfo: { rootPath: "/tmp/fake-workspace" },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Now `tools` contains the registered tools -- call tool.execute(input, ctx)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### End-to-End with runDemo()
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `runDemo()` in your plugin file (see the single-file template above) that boots a real `ClineCore` session:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... bun run my-plugin.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Smoke Test
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .cline/plugins
|
||||
cp my-plugin.ts .cline/plugins/
|
||||
cline -i "trigger something that exercises the plugin"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For packages:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cline plugin install ./my-cline-plugin
|
||||
cline -i "..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the plugin fails validation or setup, the CLI prints a clear error and continues without it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
- "capabilities must be a non-empty array" -- you forgot `manifest.capabilities`, or it's `[]`.
|
||||
- "registerRule requires the 'rules' capability" -- capability/handler drift. Add `"rules"` to capabilities, or stop calling `registerRule`.
|
||||
- Tool not visible to the model -- check `enableTools: true` on the session config, and that you're declaring `"tools"` in capabilities.
|
||||
- `ctx.workspaceInfo` is undefined in SDK tests -- the host didn't pass `extensionContext.workspace`. In SDK code, set it explicitly (see the ClineCore loading example above).
|
||||
- State leaking across sessions -- module-level variables are shared across sessions in the same process. Key by `ctx.session?.sessionId` if your host runs multiple sessions concurrently.
|
||||
- `afterRun` firing on aborts -- guard with `if (result.status !== "completed") return`.
|
||||
- Heavy work in `setup()` -- `setup()` blocks session start. Defer expensive work into the first tool call or `beforeRun`.
|
||||
- Importing host internals -- only import from `@cline/core`. Reaching into host-specific packages (e.g. CLI internals) will break in non-CLI hosts.
|
||||
- Sandboxed plugins and `telemetry` -- telemetry is process-local. Feature-detect `ctx.telemetry` and expect it to be undefined in sandboxed plugin processes.
|
||||
- Resolving bundled assets -- use `import.meta.url` + `fileURLToPath` to find files inside your package; never `process.cwd()`. For workspace paths, do the opposite: use `ctx.workspaceInfo?.rootPath`, never `import.meta.url`.
|
||||
- Plugin name collisions -- `name` must be unique within a session. If two plugins share a name, validation fails. Namespace by package (`my-org-redactor`, not `redactor`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision Guide -- Which Extension Point?
|
||||
|
||||
| You want to... | Use |
|
||||
|----------------|-----|
|
||||
| Give the model a new capability | `registerTool` |
|
||||
| Add a slash command in chat surfaces | `registerCommand` |
|
||||
| Inject text into the system prompt | `registerRule` |
|
||||
| Rewrite messages before they hit the provider | `registerMessageBuilder` |
|
||||
| Add a custom model provider | `registerProvider` |
|
||||
| Emit normalized cron/webhook events | `registerAutomationEventType` + `ctx.automation` |
|
||||
| Observe or steer the agent loop | `hooks.*` |
|
||||
| Block a dangerous tool call | `hooks.beforeTool` returning `{ stop: true }` |
|
||||
| Notify on completion | `hooks.afterRun` (gate on `status === "completed"`) |
|
||||
| Tweak each model request | `hooks.beforeModel` |
|
||||
| Stream events to a UI | `hooks.onEvent` |
|
||||
| Ship reusable templates with the plugin | Bundle assets next to `index.ts`, resolve via `import.meta.url` |
|
||||
| Let users override defaults globally or per-project | Three-tier lookup: bundled / global / project |
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-Ship Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- `manifest.capabilities` is a non-empty array.
|
||||
- Every `api.register*` call has a matching capability declared.
|
||||
- If `hooks` is present, `"hooks"` is in `capabilities`.
|
||||
- `ctx.workspaceInfo?.rootPath` is used for workspace paths (not `process.cwd()`).
|
||||
- Optional `ctx` fields are feature-detected.
|
||||
- Tool names are snake_case verbs; descriptions are written for the model.
|
||||
- Tool inputs have JSON Schema with `required` set.
|
||||
- `afterRun` handlers gate on `result.status === "completed"` if they only want successes.
|
||||
- State that must not leak between concurrent sessions is keyed by `ctx.session?.sessionId`.
|
||||
- (Package) `package.json` has `type: "module"`, `cline.plugins`, and `@cline/core` as an optional peer dep.
|
||||
- (Package) Bundled assets resolved via `import.meta.url`, not `process.cwd()`.
|
||||
- Smoke test: drop the plugin into `.cline/plugins/` (or `cline plugin install`), run `cline -i "..."`, watch it work.

# Going to Production
|
||||
|
||||
Guidelines for deploying Cline SDK agents in production environments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
Always check the result status:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result = await agent.run(input)
|
||||
|
||||
switch (result.status) {
|
||||
case "completed":
|
||||
console.log("Success:", result.outputText)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "aborted":
|
||||
console.log("Cancelled:", result.error?.message)
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "failed":
|
||||
console.error("Failed:", result.error)
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For ClineCore, check `finishReason`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({ ... })
|
||||
|
||||
switch (session.result?.finishReason) {
|
||||
case "completed":
|
||||
// normal completion
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "max_iterations":
|
||||
// agent hit iteration limit
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "aborted":
|
||||
// manually cancelled
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "mistake_limit":
|
||||
// too many tool errors
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "error":
|
||||
// unrecoverable error
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost Control
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Limits
|
||||
|
||||
Set maximum tokens per turn and iteration limits:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
maxTokensPerTurn: 4096,
|
||||
maxIterations: 10,
|
||||
tools: [...],
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Model Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Use cheaper models for simple tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Simple classification or formatting
|
||||
{ providerId: "anthropic", modelId: "claude-haiku-4-5" }
|
||||
|
||||
// Complex reasoning and code generation
|
||||
{ providerId: "anthropic", modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6" }
|
||||
|
||||
// Hardest tasks requiring deep reasoning
|
||||
{ providerId: "anthropic", modelId: "claude-opus-4-7" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor spending in real time:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "usage-updated" && event.usage.totalCost) {
|
||||
if (event.usage.totalCost > MAX_BUDGET) {
|
||||
agent.abort("Budget exceeded")
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Observability
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenTelemetry Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The SDK supports OpenTelemetry for traces, metrics, and logs:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "my-app",
|
||||
// OpenTelemetry config is picked up from environment
|
||||
// OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, etc.
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Structured Logging
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `BasicLogger` interface for injectable logging:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import type { BasicLogger } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const logger: BasicLogger = {
|
||||
debug: (msg, meta) => console.debug(msg, meta),
|
||||
log: (msg, meta) => console.log(msg, meta),
|
||||
error: (msg, meta) => console.error(msg, meta),
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
logger,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Metrics via Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const metricsPlugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "metrics",
|
||||
manifest: { capabilities: ["hooks"] },
|
||||
setup() {},
|
||||
hooks: {
|
||||
beforeRun() {
|
||||
metrics.increment("agent.runs.started")
|
||||
},
|
||||
afterRun({ result }) {
|
||||
metrics.increment("agent.runs.completed")
|
||||
metrics.histogram("agent.iterations", result.iterations)
|
||||
metrics.histogram("agent.tokens.output", result.usage.outputTokens)
|
||||
},
|
||||
beforeTool({ toolCall }) {
|
||||
metrics.increment(`agent.tools.${toolCall.toolName}`)
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
### Sandbox Tool Execution
|
||||
|
||||
Validate tool inputs to prevent path traversal and injection:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
const safePath = path.resolve(WORKSPACE_ROOT, input.path)
|
||||
if (!safePath.startsWith(WORKSPACE_ROOT)) {
|
||||
return { error: "Path traversal attempt blocked" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
return await readFile(safePath, "utf-8")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### API Key Management
|
||||
|
||||
- Use environment variables, never hardcode keys
|
||||
- Rotate keys regularly
|
||||
- Use different keys for development and production
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, // never a literal string
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Policy Hardening
|
||||
|
||||
Disable tools you don't need and require approval for dangerous ones:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
toolPolicies: {
|
||||
read_files: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
search: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
bash: { autoApprove: false }, // require approval
|
||||
editor: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
apply_patch: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
fetch_web: { enabled: false }, // disable entirely
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Stateless Worker
|
||||
|
||||
For request/response workloads (API endpoints, queue consumers):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "worker",
|
||||
backendMode: "local",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
app.post("/agent", async (req, res) => {
|
||||
const session = await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: req.body.prompt,
|
||||
config: { ... },
|
||||
})
|
||||
res.json({ text: session.result?.text, usage: session.result?.usage })
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Persistent Service
|
||||
|
||||
For long-running services with session management:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "service",
|
||||
backendMode: "hub",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
process.on("SIGTERM", async () => {
|
||||
await cline.dispose("SIGTERM")
|
||||
process.exit(0)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scheduled Automation
|
||||
|
||||
See `../scheduling/REFERENCE.md` for recurring agent tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Retry and Resilience
|
||||
|
||||
- Tool `execute` functions support `retryable: true` (default) and `maxRetries: 3` (default)
|
||||
- Provider API calls are retried automatically on transient failures
|
||||
- Use `timeoutMs` on tools to prevent hanging
|
||||
- Monitor `mistake_limit` finish reason to detect systematic tool failures

# Model Providers
|
||||
|
||||
The Cline SDK supports every major LLM provider out of the box via `@cline/llms`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Providers
|
||||
|
||||
| Provider ID | Models |
|
||||
|-------------|--------|
|
||||
| `"anthropic"` | Claude Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5 |
|
||||
| `"openai"` | GPT-5.5, GPT-5.3 Codex |
|
||||
| `"gemini"` | Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Gemini 3 Flash Preview |
|
||||
| `"vertex"` | Google models via Vertex AI |
|
||||
| `"bedrock"` | Claude, Llama via AWS Bedrock |
|
||||
| `"mistral"` | Mistral Large, Codestral |
|
||||
| `"openai-compatible"` | vLLM, Together, Fireworks, Groq, etc. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### With Agent
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Agent } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
|
||||
tools: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### With ClineCore
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ClineCore } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({ clientName: "my-app" })
|
||||
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "Hello",
|
||||
config: {
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Provider-Specific Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Anthropic
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-opus-4-7", // or "claude-sonnet-4-6", "claude-haiku-4-5"
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAI
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "openai",
|
||||
modelId: "gpt-5.5",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Google (Gemini)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "gemini",
|
||||
modelId: "gemini-3.1-pro-preview",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Google (Vertex AI)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "vertex",
|
||||
modelId: "gemini-3.1-pro-preview",
|
||||
// Uses application default credentials or service account
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### AWS Bedrock
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "bedrock",
|
||||
modelId: "anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
// Uses AWS credential chain (env vars, config file, IAM role)
|
||||
// Set AWS_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mistral
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "mistral",
|
||||
modelId: "mistral-large-latest",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.MISTRAL_API_KEY,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAI-Compatible
|
||||
|
||||
For any provider with an OpenAI-compatible API:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "openai-compatible",
|
||||
modelId: "my-model",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://api.together.xyz/v1",
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Works with: vLLM, Together AI, Fireworks, Groq, Ollama, LiteLLM, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Base URL
|
||||
|
||||
Override the API endpoint for any provider:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
|
||||
baseUrl: "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1",
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Headers
|
||||
|
||||
Pass additional headers to API requests:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
providerId: "openai",
|
||||
modelId: "gpt-5.5",
|
||||
apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
|
||||
headers: {
|
||||
"X-Custom-Header": "value",
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gateway API
|
||||
|
||||
For advanced multi-provider setups, use the Gateway directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createGateway, DefaultGateway } from "@cline/llms"
|
||||
|
||||
const gateway = createGateway({
|
||||
providerConfigs: [
|
||||
{ providerId: "anthropic", apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY },
|
||||
{ providerId: "openai", apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY },
|
||||
],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a model for a specific provider
|
||||
const model = gateway.createAgentModel({
|
||||
providerId: "anthropic",
|
||||
modelId: "claude-opus-4-7",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Use with Agent
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({ model, systemPrompt: "...", tools: [] })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gateway Methods
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
gateway.registerProvider(registration) // add a custom provider
|
||||
gateway.configureProvider(config) // update provider settings
|
||||
gateway.listProviders() // list available providers
|
||||
gateway.listModels(providerId?) // list available models
|
||||
gateway.createAgentModel(selection) // create model for agent
|
||||
gateway.stream(request) // raw streaming (AsyncIterable)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Provider Registry
|
||||
|
||||
Query and register providers programmatically:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import {
|
||||
getAllProviders,
|
||||
getProviderIds,
|
||||
getProvider,
|
||||
getModelsForProvider,
|
||||
registerProvider,
|
||||
registerModel,
|
||||
createHandler,
|
||||
} from "@cline/llms"
|
||||
|
||||
// List all registered providers
|
||||
const providers = getAllProviders()
|
||||
|
||||
// Get models for a provider
|
||||
const models = getModelsForProvider("anthropic")
|
||||
|
||||
// Register a custom provider
|
||||
registerProvider({
|
||||
id: "my-provider",
|
||||
name: "My Custom Provider",
|
||||
handler: createHandler({ ... }),
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Model Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
Access model info (context window, pricing, capabilities):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { getModelsForProvider } from "@cline/llms"
|
||||
|
||||
const models = getModelsForProvider("anthropic")
|
||||
for (const model of models) {
|
||||
console.log(`${model.id}: context=${model.contextWindow}, input=$${model.inputPrice}/MTok`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cost Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Track per-request and cumulative costs:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Via events
|
||||
agent.subscribe((event) => {
|
||||
if (event.type === "usage-updated") {
|
||||
console.log(`Cost: $${event.usage.totalCost?.toFixed(4)}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Via result
|
||||
const result = await agent.run("...")
|
||||
console.log(`Total cost: $${result.usage.totalCost?.toFixed(4)}`)
|
||||
|
||||
// Via ClineCore accumulated usage
|
||||
const usage = await cline.getAccumulatedUsage(sessionId)
|
||||
```

# Scheduling and Automation
|
||||
|
||||
The Cline SDK supports scheduled, one-off, and event-driven agent execution through the automation subsystem in `@cline/core`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Three trigger types:
|
||||
|
||||
| Trigger | Description |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `schedule` | Recurring jobs via cron expressions |
|
||||
| `one_off` | Single execution tasks |
|
||||
| `event` | Triggered by external events (GitHub, Linear, custom) |
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI Schedule Management
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create a recurring schedule
|
||||
cline schedule create "Daily standup" \
|
||||
--cron "0 9 * * MON-FRI" \
|
||||
--prompt "Summarize open PRs and blockers" \
|
||||
--workspace /path/to/project \
|
||||
--model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6
|
||||
|
||||
# List schedules
|
||||
cline schedule list
|
||||
|
||||
# Trigger a schedule immediately
|
||||
cline schedule trigger <schedule-id>
|
||||
|
||||
# Pause/resume
|
||||
cline schedule pause <schedule-id>
|
||||
cline schedule resume <schedule-id>
|
||||
|
||||
# Delete
|
||||
cline schedule delete <schedule-id>
|
||||
|
||||
# View past executions
|
||||
cline schedule executions <schedule-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cron Expressions
|
||||
|
||||
| Expression | Meaning |
|
||||
|-----------|---------|
|
||||
| `0 9 * * MON-FRI` | 9 AM weekdays |
|
||||
| `0 */6 * * *` | Every 6 hours |
|
||||
| `0 8 * * MON` | Mondays at 8 AM |
|
||||
| `*/30 * * * *` | Every 30 minutes |
|
||||
| `0 0 1 * *` | First of every month |
|
||||
|
||||
## File-Based Specs
|
||||
|
||||
Create Markdown files in `~/.cline/cron/` (global) or `.cline/cron/` (workspace):
|
||||
|
||||
### Recurring Schedule
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
---
|
||||
trigger: schedule
|
||||
schedule: "0 9 * * MON-FRI"
|
||||
timezone: America/New_York
|
||||
mode: exclusive
|
||||
prompt: "Check for dependency updates and create PRs for any outdated packages."
|
||||
modelSelection:
|
||||
providerId: anthropic
|
||||
modelId: claude-sonnet-4-6
|
||||
tools:
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Additional context or instructions for the agent go in the body.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### One-Off Task
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
---
|
||||
trigger: one_off
|
||||
prompt: "Generate a comprehensive test coverage report."
|
||||
modelSelection:
|
||||
providerId: anthropic
|
||||
modelId: claude-sonnet-4-6
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Event-Driven
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
---
|
||||
trigger: event
|
||||
eventType: github.pull_request.opened
|
||||
filters:
|
||||
repository: myorg/myrepo
|
||||
debounceMs: 5000
|
||||
cooldownMs: 60000
|
||||
prompt: "Review the PR for security issues and code quality."
|
||||
modelSelection:
|
||||
providerId: anthropic
|
||||
modelId: claude-sonnet-4-6
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CronSpec Types
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface CronScheduleSpec {
|
||||
trigger: "schedule"
|
||||
schedule: string // cron expression
|
||||
timezone?: string
|
||||
mode?: "exclusive" | "concurrent"
|
||||
prompt: string
|
||||
modelSelection?: { providerId: string; modelId?: string }
|
||||
extensionLoading?: "isolated" | "direct"
|
||||
configExtensions?: RuntimeConfigExtensionKind[]
|
||||
tools?: { enabled?: boolean; names?: string[] }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
interface CronOneOffSpec {
|
||||
trigger: "one_off"
|
||||
prompt: string
|
||||
modelSelection?: { providerId: string; modelId?: string }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
interface CronEventSpec {
|
||||
trigger: "event"
|
||||
eventType: string // e.g., "github.pull_request.opened"
|
||||
filters?: Record<string, unknown>
|
||||
debounceMs?: number
|
||||
cooldownMs?: number
|
||||
prompt: string
|
||||
modelSelection?: { providerId: string; modelId?: string }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Programmatic Automation API
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const cline = await ClineCore.create({
|
||||
clientName: "my-app",
|
||||
automation: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Start automation service
|
||||
cline.automation.start()
|
||||
|
||||
// Ingest an external event
|
||||
cline.automation.ingestEvent({
|
||||
eventId: "evt-123",
|
||||
eventType: "github.pull_request.opened",
|
||||
source: "github",
|
||||
timestamp: Date.now(),
|
||||
payload: { pr: { number: 42, title: "..." } },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// List specs, runs, events
|
||||
const specs = await cline.automation.listSpecs()
|
||||
const runs = await cline.automation.listRuns()
|
||||
const events = await cline.automation.listEvents()
|
||||
|
||||
// Reconcile specs from directory
|
||||
await cline.automation.reconcile(specDirectory)
|
||||
|
||||
// Stop automation
|
||||
cline.automation.stop()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Ingestion from Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins can declare and emit automation events:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const webhookPlugin: AgentPlugin = {
|
||||
name: "webhook-events",
|
||||
manifest: { capabilities: ["automationEvents"] },
|
||||
setup(api) {
|
||||
api.registerAutomationEventType({
|
||||
type: "webhook.received",
|
||||
description: "External webhook received",
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Submit events via the plugin context:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
ctx.automation.ingestEvent({
|
||||
eventId: "evt-456",
|
||||
eventType: "webhook.received",
|
||||
source: "custom",
|
||||
timestamp: Date.now(),
|
||||
payload: { ... },
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Concurrency Control
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Behavior |
|
||||
|------|----------|
|
||||
| `"exclusive"` | Skip if previous run still active |
|
||||
| `"concurrent"` | Allow overlapping runs |
|
||||
|
||||
## Run Reports
|
||||
|
||||
Each completed run writes a Markdown report to `.cline/cron/reports/<run-id>.md` with:
|
||||
- Run metadata (spec, trigger, timing)
|
||||
- Summary of agent output
|
||||
- Usage (tokens, cost)
|
||||
- Tool calls made
|
||||
- Trigger event context (for event-driven runs)
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Daily standup summaries
|
||||
- Automated dependency update checks
|
||||
- PR review on open
|
||||
- Codebase health reports
|
||||
- Scheduled security scans
|
||||
- Event-driven CI/CD workflows

# Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are how agents interact with the world. The Cline SDK supports both built-in tools (via ClineCore) and custom tools you define yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating Custom Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Use `createTool()` from `@cline/sdk` (or `@cline/shared`):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createTool } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
|
||||
const myTool = createTool({
|
||||
name: "search_issues",
|
||||
description: "Search GitHub issues by query. Returns up to 10 results.",
|
||||
inputSchema: {
|
||||
type: "object",
|
||||
properties: {
|
||||
query: { type: "string", description: "Search query" },
|
||||
state: { type: "string", enum: ["open", "closed", "all"] },
|
||||
},
|
||||
required: ["query"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
const issues = await github.searchIssues(input.query, input.state)
|
||||
return { issues, count: issues.length }
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### With Zod Schema
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createTool } from "@cline/sdk"
|
||||
import { z } from "zod"
|
||||
|
||||
const deployTool = createTool({
|
||||
name: "deploy",
|
||||
description: "Deploy the app to the specified environment.",
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
environment: z.enum(["staging", "production"]).describe("Target environment"),
|
||||
version: z.string().optional().describe("Version tag, defaults to latest"),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
const result = await deploy(input.environment, input.version)
|
||||
return { url: result.url, status: "deployed" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool Config Options
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
createTool({
|
||||
name: string, // snake_case, unique per agent
|
||||
description: string, // what the tool does (model reads this)
|
||||
inputSchema: JSONSchema | ZodSchema, // input validation
|
||||
execute: async (input, context, onChange?) => output,
|
||||
timeoutMs?: number, // default: 30000
|
||||
retryable?: boolean, // default: true
|
||||
maxRetries?: number, // default: 3
|
||||
lifecycle?: {
|
||||
completesRun?: boolean // true = ends agent loop on success
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### AgentToolContext
|
||||
|
||||
The second argument to `execute` provides runtime context:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface AgentToolContext {
|
||||
agentId: string
|
||||
conversationId: string
|
||||
iteration: number
|
||||
abortSignal?: AbortSignal
|
||||
metadata?: Record<string, unknown>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Naming Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Names must be `snake_case` (e.g., `search_issues`, `deploy_app`)
|
||||
- Names must be unique within a single agent's tool set
|
||||
- Choose descriptive names since the model uses them to decide which tool to call
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Descriptions Matter
|
||||
|
||||
The model reads the tool description to decide when and how to use it. Write clear, specific descriptions:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Bad: vague
|
||||
description: "Does deployment stuff"
|
||||
|
||||
// Good: specific with constraints
|
||||
description: "Deploy the application to staging or production. " +
|
||||
"Staging deployments are immediate. Production requires a passing CI build. " +
|
||||
"Returns the deployment URL and status."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Include constraints, rate limits, and expected behavior in the description.
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling in Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Return errors as structured data instead of throwing:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Good: return error data
|
||||
execute: async (input) => {
|
||||
const file = await readFile(input.path).catch(() => null)
|
||||
if (!file) {
|
||||
return { error: "File not found", path: input.path }
|
||||
}
|
||||
return { content: file }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Thrown exceptions count as "mistakes" against the agent's mistake limit. Returned error data lets the agent adjust its approach.
|
||||
|
||||
## Completion Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Tools with `lifecycle: { completesRun: true }` end the agent loop when they execute successfully:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const submitAnswer = createTool({
|
||||
name: "submit_answer",
|
||||
description: "Submit the final answer and end the task.",
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
answer: z.string(),
|
||||
confidence: z.number().min(0).max(1),
|
||||
}),
|
||||
lifecycle: { completesRun: true },
|
||||
execute: async (input) => input,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The model sees the tool result and the run ends. Access the output via `result.toolCalls`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Built-in Tools (ClineCore Only)
|
||||
|
||||
When using `ClineCore` with `enableTools: true`, these tools are available automatically:
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | Name | What It Does |
|
||||
|------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| Shell | `bash` | Execute shell commands in the session workspace |
|
||||
| Editor | `editor` | Create and edit files |
|
||||
| Read | `read_files` | Read file contents |
|
||||
| Patch | `apply_patch` | Apply unified diffs to files |
|
||||
| Search | `search` | Search file contents and directory structure |
|
||||
| Web | `fetch_web` | Fetch web content via HTTP |
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in tools respect the `cwd` setting in `CoreSessionConfig`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Policies
|
||||
|
||||
Control which tools are available and whether they require approval:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// In Agent config
|
||||
const agent = new Agent({
|
||||
tools: [toolA, toolB, toolC],
|
||||
toolPolicies: {
|
||||
tool_a: { autoApprove: true }, // runs without asking
|
||||
tool_b: { autoApprove: false }, // requires approval
|
||||
tool_c: { enabled: false }, // hidden from model
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// In ClineCore session
|
||||
await cline.start({
|
||||
prompt: "...",
|
||||
config: { ... },
|
||||
toolPolicies: {
|
||||
bash: { autoApprove: true },
|
||||
editor: { autoApprove: false },
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Policy Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Policy | Effect |
|
||||
|--------|--------|
|
||||
| `{ autoApprove: true }` | Tool runs without approval |
|
||||
| `{ autoApprove: false }` | Triggers approval callback before running |
|
||||
| `{ enabled: false }` | Tool is hidden from the model entirely |
|
||||
| No policy set | Defaults to enabled and auto-approved |
|
||||
|
||||
## Abort Signal in Long-Running Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Respect the abort signal for tools that take a long time:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
execute: async (input, context) => {
|
||||
const results = []
|
||||
for (const item of input.items) {
|
||||
if (context.abortSignal?.aborted) {
|
||||
return { results, aborted: true, processed: results.length }
|
||||
}
|
||||
results.push(await processItem(item))
|
||||
}
|
||||
return { results, processed: results.length }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming Tool Output
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `onChange` callback (third argument) to stream partial results:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
execute: async (input, context, onChange) => {
|
||||
let progress = 0
|
||||
for (const step of steps) {
|
||||
progress++
|
||||
onChange?.(`Processing step ${progress}/${steps.length}...`)
|
||||
await processStep(step)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return { completed: true }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are plain async functions, so they're straightforward to test:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest"
|
||||
|
||||
describe("deploy tool", () => {
|
||||
it("deploys to staging", async () => {
|
||||
const context = { agentId: "test", conversationId: "test", iteration: 1 }
|
||||
const result = await deployTool.execute({ environment: "staging" }, context)
|
||||
expect(result.status).toBe("deployed")
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## MCP Tool Integration
|
||||
|
||||
ClineCore can connect to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for additional tools. Configure in `.cline/mcp-servers.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"servers": {
|
||||
"my-server": {
|
||||
"command": "node",
|
||||
"args": ["./mcp-server.js"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
MCP tools appear alongside built-in and custom tools automatically.

||||

# Create Pull Request
|
||||
|
||||
This skill guides you through creating a well-structured GitHub pull request that follows project conventions and best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites Check
|
||||
|
||||
Before proceeding, verify the following:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Check if `gh` CLI is installed
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If not installed, inform the user:
|
||||
> The GitHub CLI (`gh`) is required but not installed. Please install it:
|
||||
> - macOS: `brew install gh`
|
||||
> - Other: https://cli.github.com/
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Check if authenticated with GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh auth status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If not authenticated, guide the user to run `gh auth login`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Verify clean working directory
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If there are uncommitted changes, ask the user whether to:
|
||||
- Commit them as part of this PR
|
||||
- Stash them temporarily
|
||||
- Discard them (with caution)
|
||||
|
||||
## Gather Context
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Identify the current branch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git branch --show-current
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure you're not on `main` or `master`. If so, ask the user to create or switch to a feature branch.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Find the base branch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git remote show origin | grep "HEAD branch"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is typically `main` or `master`.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Analyze recent commits relevant to this PR
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline --no-decorate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Review these commits to understand:
|
||||
- What changes are being introduced
|
||||
- The scope of the PR (single feature/fix or multiple changes)
|
||||
- Whether commits should be squashed or reorganized
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Review the diff
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This shows which files changed and helps identify the type of change.
|
||||
|
||||
## Information Gathering
|
||||
|
||||
Before creating the PR, you need the following information. Check if it can be inferred from:
|
||||
- Commit messages
|
||||
- Branch name (e.g., `fix/issue-123`, `feature/new-login`)
|
||||
- Changed files and their content
|
||||
|
||||
If any critical information is missing, use `ask_followup_question` to ask the user:
|
||||
|
||||
### Required Information
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Related Issue Number**: Look for patterns like `#123`, `fixes #123`, or `closes #123` in commit messages
|
||||
2. **Description**: What problem does this solve? Why were these changes made?
|
||||
3. **Type of Change**: Bug fix, new feature, breaking change, refactor, cosmetic, documentation, or workflow
|
||||
4. **Test Procedure**: How was this tested? What could break?
|
||||
|
||||
### Example clarifying question
|
||||
|
||||
If the issue number is not found:
|
||||
> I couldn't find a related issue number in the commit messages or branch name. What GitHub issue does this PR address? (Enter the issue number, e.g., "123" or "N/A" for small fixes)
|
||||
|
||||
## Git Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
Before creating the PR, consider these best practices:
|
||||
|
||||
### Commit Hygiene
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Atomic commits**: Each commit should represent a single logical change
|
||||
2. **Clear commit messages**: Follow conventional commit format when possible
|
||||
3. **No merge commits**: Prefer rebasing over merging to keep history clean
|
||||
|
||||
### Branch Management
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Rebase on latest main** (if needed):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git fetch origin
|
||||
git rebase origin/main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Squash if appropriate**: If there are many small "WIP" commits, consider interactive rebase:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git rebase -i origin/main
|
||||
```
|
||||
Only suggest this if commits appear messy and the user is comfortable with rebasing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Push Changes
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure all commits are pushed:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git push origin HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the branch was rebased, you may need:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git push origin HEAD --force-with-lease
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Create the Pull Request
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT**: Read and use the PR template at `.github/pull_request_template.md`. The PR body format must **strictly match** the template structure. Do not deviate from the template format.
|
||||
|
||||
When filling out the template:
|
||||
- Replace `#XXXX` with the actual issue number, or keep as `#XXXX` if no issue exists (for small fixes)
|
||||
- Fill in all sections with relevant information gathered from commits and context
|
||||
- Mark the appropriate "Type of Change" checkbox(es)
|
||||
- Complete the "Pre-flight Checklist" items that apply
|
||||
|
||||
### Create PR with gh CLI
|
||||
|
||||
**Use a temporary file for the PR body** to avoid shell escaping issues, newline problems, and other command-line flakiness:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Write the PR body to a temporary file:
|
||||
```
|
||||
/tmp/pr-body.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create the PR using the file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr create --title "PR_TITLE" --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md --base main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Clean up the temporary file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm /tmp/pr-body.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For draft PRs:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr create --title "PR_TITLE" --body-file /tmp/pr-body.md --base main --draft
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why use a file?** Passing complex markdown with newlines, special characters, and checkboxes directly via `--body` is error-prone. The `--body-file` flag handles all content reliably.
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Creation
|
||||
|
||||
After creating the PR:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Display the PR URL** so the user can review it
|
||||
2. **Remind about CI checks**: Tests and linting will run automatically
|
||||
3. **Suggest next steps**:
|
||||
- Add reviewers if needed: `gh pr edit --add-reviewer USERNAME`
|
||||
- Add labels if needed: `gh pr edit --add-label "bug"`
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No commits ahead of main**: The branch has no changes to submit
|
||||
- Ask if the user meant to work on a different branch
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Branch not pushed**: Remote doesn't have the branch
|
||||
- Push the branch first: `git push -u origin HEAD`
|
||||
|
||||
3. **PR already exists**: A PR for this branch already exists
|
||||
- Show the existing PR: `gh pr view`
|
||||
- Ask if they want to update it instead
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Merge conflicts**: Branch conflicts with base
|
||||
- Guide user through resolving conflicts or rebasing
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before finalizing, ensure:
|
||||
- [ ] `gh` CLI is installed and authenticated
|
||||
- [ ] Working directory is clean
|
||||
- [ ] All commits are pushed
|
||||
- [ ] Branch is up-to-date with base branch
|
||||
- [ ] Related issue number is identified, or placeholder is used
|
||||
- [ ] PR description follows the template exactly
|
||||
- [ ] Appropriate type of change is selected
|
||||
- [ ] Pre-flight checklist items are addressed

# OpenTUI Platform Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Consolidated skill for building terminal user interfaces with OpenTUI. Use decision trees below to find the right framework and components, then load detailed references.
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**Follow these rules in all OpenTUI code:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use `create-tui` for new projects.** See framework `REFERENCE.md` quick starts.
|
||||
2. **`create-tui` options must come before arguments.** `bunx create-tui -t react my-app` works, `bunx create-tui my-app -t react` does NOT.
|
||||
3. **Never call `process.exit()` directly.** Use `renderer.destroy()` (see `core/gotchas.md`).
|
||||
4. **Text styling requires nested tags in React/Solid.** Use modifier elements, not props (see `components/text-display.md`).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Use This Skill
|
||||
|
||||
### Reference File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Framework references follow a 5-file pattern. Cross-cutting concepts are single-file guides.
|
||||
|
||||
Each framework in `./references/<framework>/` contains:
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Purpose | When to Read |
|
||||
|------|---------|--------------|
|
||||
| `REFERENCE.md` | Overview, when to use, quick start | **Always read first** |
|
||||
| `api.md` | Runtime API, components, hooks | Writing code |
|
||||
| `configuration.md` | Setup, tsconfig, bundling | Configuring a project |
|
||||
| `patterns.md` | Common patterns, best practices | Implementation guidance |
|
||||
| `gotchas.md` | Pitfalls, limitations, debugging | Troubleshooting |
|
||||
|
||||
Cross-cutting concepts in `./references/<concept>/` have `REFERENCE.md` as the entry point.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reading Order
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with `REFERENCE.md` for your chosen framework
|
||||
2. Then read additional files relevant to your task:
|
||||
- Building components -> `api.md` + `components/<category>.md`
|
||||
- Setting up project -> `configuration.md`
|
||||
- Layout/positioning -> `layout/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Keyboard/input handling -> `keyboard/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Animations -> `animation/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
- Troubleshooting -> `gotchas.md` + `testing/REFERENCE.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Paths
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./references/react/REFERENCE.md # Start here for React
|
||||
./references/react/api.md # React components and hooks
|
||||
./references/solid/configuration.md # Solid project setup
|
||||
./references/components/inputs.md # Input, Textarea, Select docs
|
||||
./references/core/gotchas.md # Core debugging tips
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Runtime Notes
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI runs on Bun and uses Zig for native builds. Read `./references/core/gotchas.md` for runtime requirements and build guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Decision Trees

# Animation System
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI provides a timeline-based animation system for smooth property transitions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Animations in OpenTUI use:
|
||||
- **Timeline**: Orchestrates multiple animations
|
||||
- **Animation Engine**: Manages timelines and rendering
|
||||
- **Easing Functions**: Control animation curves
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
Use this reference when you need timeline-driven animations, easing curves, or progressive transitions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### React
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTimeline } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
import { useEffect, useState } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function AnimatedBox() {
|
||||
const [width, setWidth] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ width: 0 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
width: 50,
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setWidth(Math.round(anim.targets[0].width))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
width={width}
|
||||
height={3}
|
||||
backgroundColor="#6a5acd"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solid
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTimeline } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { createSignal, onMount } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function AnimatedBox() {
|
||||
const [width, setWidth] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
onMount(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ width: 0 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
width: 50,
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setWidth(Math.round(anim.targets[0].width))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
width={width()}
|
||||
height={3}
|
||||
backgroundColor="#6a5acd"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Core
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, Timeline, engine } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
engine.attach(renderer)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = new Timeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
autoplay: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ x: 0 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
x: 50,
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
box.setLeft(Math.round(anim.targets[0].x))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
engine.addTimeline(timeline)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Timeline Options
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000, // Total duration in ms
|
||||
loop: false, // Loop the timeline
|
||||
autoplay: true, // Start automatically
|
||||
onComplete: () => {}, // Called when timeline completes
|
||||
onPause: () => {}, // Called when timeline pauses
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Timeline Methods
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Add animation
|
||||
timeline.add(target, properties, startTime?)
|
||||
|
||||
// Control playback
|
||||
timeline.play() // Start/resume
|
||||
timeline.pause() // Pause
|
||||
timeline.restart() // Restart from beginning
|
||||
|
||||
// State
|
||||
timeline.progress // Current progress (0-1)
|
||||
timeline.duration // Total duration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Animation Properties
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ value: 0 }, // Target object with initial values
|
||||
{
|
||||
value: 100, // Final value
|
||||
duration: 1000, // Animation duration in ms
|
||||
ease: "linear", // Easing function
|
||||
delay: 0, // Delay before starting
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
// Called each frame
|
||||
const current = anim.targets[0].value
|
||||
},
|
||||
onComplete: () => {
|
||||
// Called when this animation completes
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
0 // Start time in timeline (optional)
|
||||
)
|
||||

||||
const [width, setWidth] = useState(0)
|
||||
const maxWidth = 50
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline()
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ value: width },
|
||||
{
|
||||
value: (progress / 100) * maxWidth,
|
||||
duration: 300,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setWidth(Math.round(anim.targets[0].value))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
}, [progress])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
|
||||
<text>Progress: {progress}%</text>
|
||||
<box width={maxWidth} height={1} backgroundColor="#333">
|
||||
<box width={width} height={1} backgroundColor="#00FF00" />
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fade In
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function FadeIn({ children }) {
|
||||
const [opacity, setOpacity] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline()
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ opacity: 0 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
opacity: 1,
|
||||
duration: 500,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setOpacity(anim.targets[0].opacity)
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box style={{ opacity }}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Looping Animation
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Spinner() {
|
||||
const [frame, setFrame] = useState(0)
|
||||
const frames = ["⠋", "⠙", "⠹", "⠸", "⠼", "⠴", "⠦", "⠧", "⠇", "⠏"]
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
const interval = setInterval(() => {
|
||||
setFrame(f => (f + 1) % frames.length)
|
||||
}, 80)
|
||||
|
||||
return () => clearInterval(interval)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>{frames[frame]} Loading...</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Staggered Animation
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function StaggeredList({ items }) {
|
||||
const [visibleCount, setVisibleCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
let count = 0
|
||||
const interval = setInterval(() => {
|
||||
count++
|
||||
setVisibleCount(count)
|
||||
if (count >= items.length) {
|
||||
clearInterval(interval)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, 100)
|
||||
|
||||
return () => clearInterval(interval)
|
||||
}, [items.length])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
{items.slice(0, visibleCount).map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<text key={i}>{item}</text>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Slide In
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function SlideIn({ children, from = "left" }) {
|
||||
const [offset, setOffset] = useState(from === "left" ? -20 : 20)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline()
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ offset: from === "left" ? -20 : 20 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
offset: 0,
|
||||
duration: 300,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutCubic",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setOffset(Math.round(anim.targets[0].offset))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box position="relative" left={offset}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Timeline automatically batches updates within the render loop.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Integer Values
|
||||
|
||||
Round animated values for character-based positioning:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setX(Math.round(anim.targets[0].x))
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Clean Up Timelines
|
||||
|
||||
Hooks automatically clean up, but for core:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// When done with timeline
|
||||
engine.removeTimeline(timeline)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminal Refresh Rate
|
||||
|
||||
Terminal UIs typically refresh at 60 FPS max. Very fast animations may appear choppy.
|
||||
|
||||
### Character Grid
|
||||
|
||||
Animations are constrained to character cells. Sub-pixel positioning isn't possible.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cleanup in Effects
|
||||
|
||||
Always clean up intervals and timelines:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
const interval = setInterval(...)
|
||||
return () => clearInterval(interval)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
```

# OpenTUI Components
|
||||
|
||||
Reference for all OpenTUI components, organized by category. Components are available in all three frameworks (Core, React, Solid) with slight API differences.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
Use this reference when you need to find the right component category or compare naming across Core, React, and Solid.
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Categories
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Components | File |
|
||||
|----------|------------|------|
|
||||
| Text & Display | text, ascii-font, styled text | [text-display.md](./text-display.md) |
|
||||
| Containers | box, scrollbox, borders | [containers.md](./containers.md) |
|
||||
| Inputs | input, textarea, select, tab-select | [inputs.md](./inputs.md) |
|
||||
| Code & Diff | code, line-number, diff, markdown, text-table | [code-diff.md](./code-diff.md) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Chooser
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Need a component?
|
||||
├─ Styled text or ASCII art -> text-display.md
|
||||
├─ Containers, borders, scrolling -> containers.md
|
||||
├─ Forms or input controls -> inputs.md
|
||||
└─ Code blocks, diffs, line numbers, markdown -> code-diff.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Naming
|
||||
|
||||
Components have different names across frameworks:
|
||||
|
||||
| Concept | Core (Class) | React (JSX) | Solid (JSX) |
|
||||
|---------|--------------|-------------|-------------|
|
||||
| Text | `TextRenderable` | `<text>` | `<text>` |
|
||||
| Box | `BoxRenderable` | `<box>` | `<box>` |
|
||||
| ScrollBox | `ScrollBoxRenderable` | `<scrollbox>` | `<scrollbox>` |
|
||||
| Input | `InputRenderable` | `<input>` | `<input>` |
|
||||
| Textarea | `TextareaRenderable` | `<textarea>` | `<textarea>` |
|
||||
| Select | `SelectRenderable` | `<select>` | `<select>` |
|
||||
| Tab Select | `TabSelectRenderable` | `<tab-select>` | `<tab_select>` |
|
||||
| ASCII Font | `ASCIIFontRenderable` | `<ascii-font>` | `<ascii_font>` |
|
||||
| Code | `CodeRenderable` | `<code>` | `<code>` |
|
||||
| Line Number | `LineNumberRenderable` | `<line-number>` | `<line_number>` |
|
||||
| Diff | `DiffRenderable` | `<diff>` | `<diff>` |
|
||||
| Markdown | `MarkdownRenderable` | `<markdown>` | `<markdown>` |
|
||||
| TextTable | `TextTableRenderable` | N/A (Core only) | N/A (Core only) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Solid uses underscores (`tab_select`) while React uses hyphens (`tab-select`). `TextTableRenderable` is used internally by `MarkdownRenderable` for table rendering and is also available as a standalone Core component.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Properties
|
||||
|
||||
All components share these layout properties (see [Layout](../layout/REFERENCE.md)):
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Positioning
|
||||
position="relative" | "absolute"
|
||||
left, top, right, bottom
|
||||
|
||||
// Dimensions
|
||||
width, height
|
||||
minWidth, maxWidth, minHeight, maxHeight
|
||||
|
||||
// Flexbox
|
||||
flexDirection, flexGrow, flexShrink, flexBasis
|
||||
justifyContent, alignItems, alignSelf
|
||||
flexWrap, gap
|
||||
|
||||
// Spacing
|
||||
padding, paddingTop, paddingRight, paddingBottom, paddingLeft
|
||||
paddingX, paddingY // Axis shorthand (horizontal/vertical)
|
||||
margin, marginTop, marginRight, marginBottom, marginLeft
|
||||
marginX, marginY // Axis shorthand (horizontal/vertical)
|
||||
|
||||
// Display
|
||||
display="flex" | "none"
|
||||
overflow="visible" | "hidden" | "scroll"
|
||||
zIndex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Core (Imperative)
|
||||
|
||||

# Code & Diff Components
|
||||
|
||||
Components for displaying code with syntax highlighting and diffs in OpenTUI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Component
|
||||
|
||||
Display syntax-highlighted code blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={`function hello() {
|
||||
console.log("Hello, World!");
|
||||
}`}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={sourceCode}
|
||||
language="javascript"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const codeBlock = new CodeRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "code",
|
||||
code: sourceCode,
|
||||
language: "typescript",
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported Languages
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI uses Tree-sitter for syntax highlighting. Common languages:
|
||||
- `typescript`, `javascript`
|
||||
- `python`
|
||||
- `rust`
|
||||
- `go`
|
||||
- `json`
|
||||
- `html`, `css`
|
||||
- `markdown`
|
||||
- `bash`, `shell`
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={sourceCode}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
backgroundColor="#1a1a2e"
|
||||
showLineNumbers
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### onHighlight Callback
|
||||
|
||||
Intercept and modify syntax highlights before rendering:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const codeBlock = new CodeRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "code",
|
||||
code: sourceCode,
|
||||
language: "typescript",
|
||||
onHighlight: (highlights, context) => {
|
||||
// Add custom highlights
|
||||
highlights.push([10, 20, "custom.error", {}])
|
||||
return highlights
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// React/Solid
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={sourceCode}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
onHighlight={(highlights, context) => {
|
||||
// context: { content, filetype, syntaxStyle }
|
||||
// Modify and return highlights array
|
||||
return highlights.filter(h => h[2] !== "comment")
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Callback signature:**
|
||||
- `highlights: SimpleHighlight[]` - Array of `[start, end, scope, metadata]`
|
||||
- `context: { content, filetype, syntaxStyle }` - Highlighting context
|
||||
- Return modified highlights array or `undefined` to use original
|
||||
|
||||
Supports async callbacks for fetching additional highlight data.
|
||||
|
||||
### onChunks Callback
|
||||
|
||||
Post-process rendered text chunks after syntax highlighting. Runs after `onHighlight` and receives fully resolved chunks:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const codeBlock = new CodeRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "code",
|
||||
code: sourceCode,
|
||||
language: "typescript",
|
||||
onChunks: (chunks, context) => {
|
||||
// Transform chunks (e.g., add link detection)
|
||||
return chunks
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// React/Solid
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={sourceCode}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
onChunks={(chunks, context) => {
|
||||
// context: { content, filetype, syntaxStyle, highlights }
|
||||
return chunks
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Link Detection Utility
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-detect URLs in code and add clickable hyperlinks:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { detectLinks } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={sourceCode}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
onChunks={(chunks, context) => detectLinks(chunks, context)}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`detectLinks` examines Tree-sitter highlights to find URL tokens and sets `chunk.link` on matching chunks. Supports async usage.
|
||||
|
||||
## TextTable Component
|
||||
|
||||
Render data tables with borders, word wrapping, and selection support.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
import { TextTableRenderable, type TextTableContent } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const content: TextTableContent = [
|
||||
[[ { text: "Name" } ], [ { text: "Age" } ], [ { text: "Role" } ]],
|
||||
[[ { text: "Alice" } ], [ { text: "30" } ], [ { text: "Engineer" } ]],
|
||||
[[ { text: "Bob" } ], [ { text: "25" } ], [ { text: "Designer" } ]],
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
const table = new TextTableRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "table",
|
||||
content,
|
||||
wrapMode: "word", // "none" | "char" | "word"
|
||||
columnWidthMode: "content", // "content" | "fill"
|
||||
cellPadding: 0,
|
||||
border: true,
|
||||
outerBorder: true,
|
||||
borderStyle: "single", // single | double | rounded | bold
|
||||
selectable: true, // Allow text selection
|
||||
columnFitter: "balanced", // "proportional" | "balanced"
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `content` | `TextTableContent` | - | 2D array of cell content |
|
||||
| `wrapMode` | `"none" \| "char" \| "word"` | `"none"` | Text wrapping in cells |
|
||||
| `columnWidthMode` | `"content" \| "fill"` | `"content"` | Column sizing strategy |
|
||||
| `cellPadding` | `number` | `0` | Padding inside cells |
|
||||
| `border` | `boolean` | `true` | Show inner borders |
|
||||
| `outerBorder` | `boolean` | `true` | Show outer borders |
|
||||
| `borderStyle` | `string` | `"single"` | Border style |
|
||||
| `borderColor` | `string \| RGBA` | - | Border color |
|
||||
| `selectable` | `boolean` | `false` | Allow text selection |
|
||||
| `columnFitter` | `"proportional" \| "balanced"` | `"proportional"` | Column width distribution |
|
||||
|
||||
### Cell Content Format
|
||||
|
||||
Each cell is an array of styled text chunks:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
type TextTableCellContent = { text: string; fg?: RGBA; bg?: RGBA }[]
|
||||
type TextTableContent = TextTableCellContent[][] // rows -> cells -> chunks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selection
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
table.getSelectedText() // Get selected text
|
||||
table.hasSelection() // Check if text is selected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Columnar selection is supported: dragging vertically within a single column selects only that column's content.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const diffView = new DiffRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "diff",
|
||||
oldCode: originalCode,
|
||||
newCode: modifiedCode,
|
||||
language: "typescript",
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Display Modes
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Unified diff (default)
|
||||
<diff
|
||||
oldCode={old}
|
||||
newCode={new}
|
||||
mode="unified"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Split/side-by-side diff
|
||||
<diff
|
||||
oldCode={old}
|
||||
newCode={new}
|
||||
mode="split"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Synchronized Scrolling (Split View)
|
||||
|
||||
In split view, enable synchronized scrolling between left and right panes:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React/Solid
|
||||
<diff
|
||||
oldCode={old}
|
||||
newCode={new}
|
||||
mode="split"
|
||||
syncScroll // Scrolling one pane syncs the other
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const diffView = new DiffRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "diff",
|
||||
diff: unifiedDiff,
|
||||
view: "split",
|
||||
syncScroll: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Toggle at runtime
|
||||
diffView.syncScroll = true
|
||||
diffView.syncScroll = false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<diff
|
||||
oldCode={originalCode}
|
||||
newCode={modifiedCode}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
mode="unified"
|
||||
showLineNumbers
|
||||
context={3} // Lines of context around changes
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<diff
|
||||
oldCode={old}
|
||||
newCode={new}
|
||||
addedLineColor="#2d4f2d" // Background for added lines
|
||||
removedLineColor="#4f2d2d" // Background for removed lines
|
||||
unchangedLineColor="transparent"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Line Highlighting API (Core)
|
||||
|
||||
Programmatically highlight specific lines in a diff:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Set a single line's color
|
||||
diffView.setLineColor(5, "#2d4f2d")
|
||||
diffView.setLineColor(5, { gutter: "#333", content: "#2d4f2d" })
|
||||
|
||||
// Clear a single line's color
|
||||
diffView.clearLineColor(5)
|
||||
|
||||
// Set multiple lines at once
|
||||
diffView.setLineColors(new Map([
|
||||
[1, "#2d4f2d"],
|
||||
[2, "#4f2d2d"],
|
||||
]))
|
||||
|
||||
// Highlight a range
|
||||
diffView.highlightLines(10, 20, "#2d4f2d")
|
||||
diffView.clearHighlightLines(10, 20)
|
||||
|
||||
// Clear all line colors
|
||||
diffView.clearAllLineColors()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `LineNumberRenderable` also supports programmatic highlighting:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
lineNumberView.highlightLines(5, 10, "#2d4f2d")
|
||||
lineNumberView.clearHighlightLines(5, 10)
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Markdown Component
|
||||
|
||||
Render markdown content with syntax highlighting for code blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<markdown
|
||||
content={markdownText}
|
||||
syntaxStyle={mySyntaxStyle}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<markdown
|
||||
content={markdownText}
|
||||
syntaxStyle={mySyntaxStyle}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
import { MarkdownRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const md = new MarkdownRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "markdown",
|
||||
content: "# Hello\n\nThis is **markdown**.",
|
||||
syntaxStyle: mySyntaxStyle,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Options
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<markdown
|
||||
content={markdownText}
|
||||
syntaxStyle={syntaxStyle}
|
||||
treeSitterClient={client} // Optional: custom tree-sitter client
|
||||
conceal={true} // Hide markdown syntax characters
|
||||
streaming={true} // Enable streaming mode for incremental updates
|
||||
tableOptions={{ // Customize markdown table rendering
|
||||
widthMode: "full", // "content" | "full"
|
||||
wrapMode: "word", // "none" | "char" | "word"
|
||||
cellPadding: 0,
|
||||
borders: true,
|
||||
outerBorder: true,
|
||||
borderStyle: "single",
|
||||
borderColor: "#555",
|
||||
selectable: true, // Tables are selectable by default
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Node Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const md = new MarkdownRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "markdown",
|
||||
content: "# Custom Heading",
|
||||
syntaxStyle,
|
||||
renderNode: (node, ctx, defaultRender) => {
|
||||
if (node.type === "heading") {
|
||||
// Return custom renderable for headings
|
||||
return new TextRenderable(ctx, {
|
||||
content: `>> ${node.content} <<`,
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
return null // Use default rendering
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Streaming Mode
|
||||
|
||||
For real-time content like LLM output:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const [content, setContent] = useState("")
|
||||
|
||||
// Append text as it arrives
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
llmStream.on("token", (token) => {
|
||||
setContent(c => c + token)
|
||||
})
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
<markdown
|
||||
content={content}
|
||||
syntaxStyle={syntaxStyle}
|
||||
streaming={true} // Optimizes for incremental updates
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Syntax-Highlighted Preview
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function MarkdownPreview({ content }) {
|
||||
// Extract code blocks from markdown
|
||||
const codeBlocks = extractCodeBlocks(content)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<scrollbox height={20}>
|
||||
{codeBlocks.map((block, i) => (
|
||||
<box key={i} marginBottom={1}>
|
||||
<code
|
||||
code={block.code}
|
||||
language={block.language}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Display
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function ErrorView({ errors, code }) {
|
||||
const diagnostics = errors.map(err => ({
|
||||
line: err.line,
|
||||
severity: "error",
|
||||
message: err.message,
|
||||
}))
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<line-number
|
||||
code={code}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
diagnostics={diagnostics}
|
||||
highlightedLines={errors.map(e => e.line)}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Solid Uses Underscores
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<line-number />
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<line_number />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Language Required for Highlighting
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// No highlighting (plain text)
|
||||
<code code={text} />
|
||||
|
||||
// With highlighting
|
||||
<code code={text} language="typescript" />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Large Files
|
||||
|
||||
For very large files, consider:
|
||||
- Pagination or virtual scrolling
|
||||
- Loading only visible portion
|
||||
- Using `scrollbox` wrapper
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<scrollbox height={30}>
|
||||
<line-number
|
||||
code={largeFile}
|
||||
language="typescript"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tree-sitter Loading
|
||||
|
||||
Syntax highlighting requires Tree-sitter grammars. If highlighting isn't working:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check the language is supported
|
||||
2. Verify grammars are installed
|
||||
3. Check `OTUI_TREE_SITTER_WORKER_PATH` if using custom path

# Container Components
|
||||
|
||||
Components for grouping and organizing content in OpenTUI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Box Component
|
||||
|
||||
The primary container component with borders, backgrounds, and layout capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React/Solid
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<text>Content inside box</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const box = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "container",
|
||||
})
|
||||
box.add(child)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Borders
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box border>
|
||||
Simple border
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box
|
||||
border
|
||||
borderStyle="single" // single | double | rounded | bold | none
|
||||
borderColor="#FFFFFF"
|
||||
>
|
||||
Styled border
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Individual borders
|
||||
<box
|
||||
borderTop
|
||||
borderBottom
|
||||
borderLeft={false}
|
||||
borderRight={false}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Top and bottom only
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Border Styles:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Style | Appearance |
|
||||
|-------|------------|
|
||||
| `single` | `┌─┐│ │└─┘` |
|
||||
| `double` | `╔═╗║ ║╚═╝` |
|
||||
| `rounded` | `╭─╮│ │╰─╯` |
|
||||
| `bold` | `┏━┓┃ ┃┗━┛` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Title
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
border
|
||||
title="Settings"
|
||||
titleAlignment="center" // left | center | right
|
||||
>
|
||||
Panel content
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Background
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box backgroundColor="#1a1a2e">
|
||||
Dark background
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box backgroundColor="transparent">
|
||||
No background
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
|
||||
Boxes are flex containers by default:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
flexDirection="row" // row | column | row-reverse | column-reverse
|
||||
justifyContent="center" // flex-start | flex-end | center | space-between | space-around
|
||||
alignItems="center" // flex-start | flex-end | center | stretch | baseline
|
||||
gap={2} // Space between children
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text>Item 1</text>
|
||||
<text>Item 2</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Spacing
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
padding={2} // All sides
|
||||
paddingTop={1}
|
||||
paddingRight={2}
|
||||
paddingBottom={1}
|
||||
paddingLeft={2}
|
||||
paddingX={2} // Horizontal (left + right)
|
||||
paddingY={1} // Vertical (top + bottom)
|
||||
margin={1}
|
||||
marginTop={1}
|
||||
marginX={2} // Horizontal (left + right)
|
||||
marginY={1} // Vertical (top + bottom)
|
||||
>
|
||||
Spaced content
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
width={40} // Fixed width
|
||||
height={10} // Fixed height
|
||||
width="50%" // Percentage of parent
|
||||
minWidth={20} // Minimum width
|
||||
maxWidth={80} // Maximum width
|
||||
flexGrow={1} // Grow to fill space
|
||||
>
|
||||
Sized box
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse Events
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
onMouseDown={(event) => {
|
||||
console.log("Clicked at:", event.x, event.y)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
onMouseUp={(event) => {}}
|
||||
onMouseMove={(event) => {}}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Clickable box
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focusable Boxes
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Box elements are not focusable. Set the `focusable` prop to enable focus behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Make a box focusable - it can receive focus via mouse click
|
||||
<box focusable border>
|
||||
<text>Click to focus</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Controlled focus state
|
||||
const [focused, setFocused] = useState(false)
|
||||
|
||||
<box
|
||||
focusable
|
||||
focused={focused}
|
||||
border
|
||||
borderColor={focused ? "#00ff00" : "#888"}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text>{focused ? "Focused!" : "Not focused"}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When a focusable Box is clicked, focus bubbles up from the click target to the nearest focusable parent. Use `event.preventDefault()` in `onMouseDown` to prevent auto-focus.
|
||||
|
||||
## ScrollBox Component
|
||||
|
||||
A scrollable container for content that exceeds the viewport.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<scrollbox height={10}>
|
||||
{items.map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<text key={i}>{item}</text>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<scrollbox height={10}>
|
||||
<For each={items()}>
|
||||
{(item) => <text>{item}</text>}
|
||||
</For>
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const scrollbox = new ScrollBoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "list",
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
items.forEach(item => {
|
||||
scrollbox.add(new TextRenderable(renderer, { content: item }))
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus for Keyboard Scrolling
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<scrollbox focused height={20}>
|
||||
{/* Use arrow keys to scroll */}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scrollbar Styling
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<scrollbox
|
||||
style={{
|
||||
rootOptions: {
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#24283b",
|
||||
},
|
||||
wrapperOptions: {
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#1f2335",
|
||||
},
|
||||
viewportOptions: {
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#1a1b26",
|
||||
},
|
||||
contentOptions: {
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#16161e",
|
||||
},
|
||||
scrollbarOptions: {
|
||||
showArrows: true,
|
||||
trackOptions: {
|
||||
foregroundColor: "#7aa2f7",
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#414868",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{content}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scroll Position (Core)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const scrollbox = new ScrollBoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "list",
|
||||
height: 20,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Scroll programmatically
|
||||
scrollbox.scrollTo(0) // Scroll to top
|
||||
scrollbox.scrollTo(100) // Scroll to position
|
||||
scrollbox.scrollBy(10) // Scroll relative
|
||||
scrollbox.scrollToBottom() // Scroll to end
|
||||
|
||||
// Scroll a child into view (nearest alignment)
|
||||
scrollbox.scrollChildIntoView("child-id") // Searches descendants by ID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`scrollChildIntoView(childId)` scrolls the minimum amount needed to make the identified descendant visible. It mirrors `Element.scrollIntoView({ block: "nearest" })` from the CSSOM View spec. Works with nested descendants and handles both horizontal and vertical scrolling.
|
||||
|
||||
## Composition Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Card Component
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Card({ title, children }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
border
|
||||
borderStyle="rounded"
|
||||
padding={2}
|
||||
marginBottom={1}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{title && (
|
||||
<text fg="#00FFFF" bold>
|
||||
{title}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
<box marginTop={title ? 1 : 0}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Panel Component
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Panel({ title, children, width = 40 }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
border
|
||||
borderStyle="double"
|
||||
width={width}
|
||||
backgroundColor="#1a1a2e"
|
||||
>
|
||||
{title && (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
borderBottom
|
||||
padding={1}
|
||||
backgroundColor="#2a2a4e"
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text bold>{title}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
<box padding={2}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### List Container
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function List({ items, renderItem }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<scrollbox height={15} focused>
|
||||
{items.map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
key={i}
|
||||
padding={1}
|
||||
backgroundColor={i % 2 === 0 ? "#222" : "#333"}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{renderItem(item, i)}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Nesting Containers
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" height="100%">
|
||||
{/* Header */}
|
||||
<box height={3} border>
|
||||
<text>Header</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Main area with sidebar */}
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<box width={20} border>
|
||||
<text>Sidebar</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<scrollbox height="100%">
|
||||
{/* Scrollable content */}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Footer */}
|
||||
<box height={1}>
|
||||
<text>Footer</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Percentage Dimensions Need Parent Size
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - parent has no explicit size
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<box width="50%">Won't work</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<box width="100%">
|
||||
<box width="50%">Works</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### FlexGrow Needs Sized Parent
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>Won't grow</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||

// CORRECT

|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>Will grow</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ScrollBox Needs Height
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - no height constraint
|
||||
<scrollbox>
|
||||
{items}
|
||||
</scrollbox>

||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<scrollbox height={20}>
|
||||
{items}
|
||||
</scrollbox>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Borders Add to Size
|
||||
|
||||
Borders take up space inside the box:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box width={10} border>
|
||||
{/* Inner content area is 8 chars (10 - 2 for borders) */}

List selection for choosing from options.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={[
|
||||
{ name: "Option 1", description: "First option", value: "1" },
|
||||
{ name: "Option 2", description: "Second option", value: "2" },
|
||||
{ name: "Option 3", description: "Third option", value: "3" },
|
||||
]}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Selected:", option.name) // Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
}}
|
||||
focused
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={[
|
||||
{ name: "Option 1", description: "First option", value: "1" },
|
||||
{ name: "Option 2", description: "Second option", value: "2" },
|
||||
]}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Selected:", option.name) // Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
}}
|
||||
focused
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const select = new SelectRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "menu",
|
||||
options: [
|
||||
{ name: "Option 1", description: "First option", value: "1" },
|
||||
{ name: "Option 2", description: "Second option", value: "2" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
})
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.ITEM_SELECTED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Selected:", option.name) // Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
})
|
||||
select.focus()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option Format
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface SelectOption {
|
||||
name: string // Display text
|
||||
description?: string // Optional description shown below
|
||||
value?: any // Associated value
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<select
|
||||
height={8} // Visible height
|
||||
selectedIndex={0} // Initially selected
|
||||
showScrollIndicator // Show scroll arrows
|
||||
selectedBackgroundColor="#333"
|
||||
selectedTextColor="#fff"
|
||||
highlightBackgroundColor="#444"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
Default keybindings:
|
||||
- `Up` / `k` - Move up
|
||||
- `Down` / `j` - Move down
|
||||
- `Enter` - Select item
|
||||
|
||||
### Events
|
||||
|
||||
**Important**: `onSelect` and `onChange` serve different purposes:
|
||||
|
||||
| Event | Trigger | Use Case |
|
||||
|-------|---------|----------|
|
||||
| `onSelect` | **Enter key pressed** - user confirms selection | Perform action with selected item |
|
||||
| `onChange` | **Arrow keys** - user navigates list | Preview, update UI as user browses |
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React/Solid
|
||||
<select
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed - selection confirmed
|
||||
console.log("User selected:", option.name)
|
||||
performAction(option)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
onChange={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when navigating with arrow keys
|
||||
console.log("Browsing:", option.name)
|
||||
showPreview(option)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.ITEM_SELECTED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
})
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.SELECTION_CHANGED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when navigating with arrow keys
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tab Select Component
|
||||
|
||||
Horizontal tab-based selection.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<tab-select
|
||||
options={[
|
||||
{ name: "Home", description: "Dashboard view" },
|
||||
{ name: "Settings", description: "Configuration" },
|
||||
{ name: "Help", description: "Documentation" },
|
||||
]}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Tab selected:", option.name) // Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
}}
|
||||
focused
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid (note underscore)
|
||||
<tab_select
|
||||
options={[
|
||||
{ name: "Home", description: "Dashboard view" },
|
||||
{ name: "Settings", description: "Configuration" },
|
||||
]}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Tab selected:", option.name) // Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
}}
|
||||
focused
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const tabs = new TabSelectRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "tabs",
|
||||
options: [...],
|
||||
tabWidth: 20,
|
||||
})
|
||||
tabs.on(TabSelectRenderableEvents.ITEM_SELECTED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Tab selected:", option.name) // Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
})
|
||||
tabs.focus()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Events
|
||||
|
||||
Same pattern as Select - `onSelect` for Enter key, `onChange` for navigation:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<tab-select
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed - switch to tab
|
||||
setActiveTab(index)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
onChange={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when navigating with arrow keys
|
||||
showTabPreview(option)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<tab-select
|
||||
tabWidth={20} // Width of each tab
|
||||
selectedIndex={0} // Initially selected tab
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<tab_select
|
||||
tabWidth={20}
|
||||
selectedIndex={0}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
Default keybindings:
|
||||
- `Left` / `[` - Previous tab
|
||||
- `Right` / `]` - Next tab
|
||||
- `Enter` - Select tab
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Focused Input
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function SingleInput() {
|
||||
return <input placeholder="I'm focused" focused />
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Inputs with Focus State
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
function Form() {
|
||||
const [focusIndex, setFocusIndex] = useState(0)
|
||||
const fields = ["name", "email", "message"]
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusIndex(i => (i + 1) % fields.length)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
|
||||
{fields.map((field, i) => (
|
||||
<input
|
||||
key={field}
|
||||
placeholder={`Enter ${field}`}
|
||||
focused={i === focusIndex}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus Methods (Core)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
input.focus() // Give focus
|
||||
input.blur() // Remove focus
|
||||
input.isFocused() // Check focus state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Form Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Login Form
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function LoginForm() {
|
||||
const [username, setUsername] = useState("")
|
||||
const [password, setPassword] = useState("")
|
||||
const [focusField, setFocusField] = useState<"username" | "password">("username")
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusField(f => f === "username" ? "password" : "username")
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (key.name === "enter") {
|
||||
handleLogin()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1} border padding={2}>
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={1}>
|
||||
<text>Username:</text>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={username}
|
||||
onChange={setUsername}
|
||||
focused={focusField === "username"}
|
||||
width={20}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={1}>
|
||||
<text>Password:</text>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={password}
|
||||
onChange={setPassword}
|
||||
focused={focusField === "password"}
|
||||
width={20}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Search with Results
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function SearchableList({ items, onItemSelected }) {
|
||||
const [query, setQuery] = useState("")
|
||||
const [focusSearch, setFocusSearch] = useState(true)
|
||||
const [preview, setPreview] = useState(null)
|
||||
|
||||
const filtered = items.filter(item =>
|
||||
item.toLowerCase().includes(query.toLowerCase())
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusSearch(f => !f)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={query}
|
||||
onChange={setQuery}
|
||||
placeholder="Search..."
|
||||
focused={focusSearch}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={filtered.map(item => ({ name: item }))}
|
||||
focused={!focusSearch}
|
||||
height={10}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Enter pressed - confirm selection
|
||||
onItemSelected(option)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
onChange={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Navigating - show preview
|
||||
setPreview(option)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus Required
|
||||
|
||||
Inputs must be focused to receive keyboard input:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - won't receive input
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here" />
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here" focused />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Select Options Format
|
||||
|
||||
Options must be objects with `name` property:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<select options={["a", "b", "c"]} />
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<select options={[
|
||||
{ name: "A", description: "Option A" },
|
||||
{ name: "B", description: "Option B" },
|
||||
]} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solid Uses Underscores
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<tab-select />
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<tab_select />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Value vs onInput (Solid)
|
||||
|
||||
Solid uses `onInput` instead of `onChange`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
<input value={value} onChange={setValue} />
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
<input value={value()} onInput={setValue} />
|

# Text & Display Components
|
||||
|
||||
Components for displaying text content in OpenTUI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Component
|
||||
|
||||
The primary component for displaying styled text.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React/Solid
|
||||
<text>Hello, World!</text>
|
||||
|
||||
// With content prop
|
||||
<text content="Hello, World!" />
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "greeting",
|
||||
content: "Hello, World!",
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling (React/Solid)
|
||||
|
||||
For React and Solid, use **nested modifier tags** for text styling:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text fg="#FFFFFF" bg="#000000">
|
||||
<strong>Bold</strong>, <em>italic</em>, and <u>underlined</u>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important**: Do NOT use `bold`, `italic`, `underline`, `dim`, `strikethrough` as props on `<text>` — they don't work. Always use nested tags like `<strong>`, `<em>`, `<u>`, or `<span>` with styling.
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling (Core) - Text Attributes
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { TextRenderable, TextAttributes } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
content: "Styled",
|
||||
attributes: TextAttributes.BOLD | TextAttributes.UNDERLINE,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Available attributes:**
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.BOLD`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.DIM`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.ITALIC`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.UNDERLINE`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.BLINK`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.INVERSE`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.HIDDEN`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.STRIKETHROUGH`
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Selection
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text selectable>
|
||||
This text can be selected by the user
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
|
||||
<text selectable={false}>
|
||||
This text cannot be selected
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For copy-on-selection and the full selection API, see `keyboard/REFERENCE.md` (selection).
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Modifiers
|
||||
|
||||
Inline styling elements that must be used inside `<text>`:
|
||||
|
||||
### Span
|
||||
|
||||
Inline styled text:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
Normal text with <span fg="red">red text</span> inline
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bold/Strong
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<strong>Bold text</strong>
|
||||
<b>Also bold</b>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Italic/Emphasis
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<em>Italic text</em>
|
||||
<i>Also italic</i>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Underline
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<u>Underlined text</u>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Line Break
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
Line one
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
Line two
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Link
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
Visit <a href="https://example.com">our website</a>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Combined Modifiers
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<span fg="#00FF00">
|
||||
<strong>Bold green</strong>
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<span fg="#FF0000">
|
||||
<em><u>italic underlined red</u></em>
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Styled Text Template (Core)
|
||||
|
||||
The `t` template literal for complex styling:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { t, bold, italic, underline, fg, bg, dim } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const styled = t`
|
||||
${bold("Bold")} and ${italic("italic")} text.
|
||||
${fg("#FF0000")("Red text")} with ${bg("#0000FF")("blue background")}.
|
||||
${dim("Dimmed")} and ${underline("underlined")}.
|
||||
`
|
||||
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
content: styled,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Style Functions
|
||||
|
||||
| Function | Description |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `bold(text)` | Bold text |
|
||||
| `italic(text)` | Italic text |
|

|

|

## Colors
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Formats
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Hex colors
|
||||
<text fg="#FF0000">Red</text>
|
||||
<text fg="#F00">Short hex</text>
|
||||
|
||||
// Named colors
|
||||
<text fg="red">Red</text>
|
||||
<text fg="blue">Blue</text>
|
||||
|
||||
// Transparent
|
||||
<text bg="transparent">No background</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### RGBA Class
|
||||
|
||||
The `RGBA` class from `@opentui/core` can be used in **all frameworks** (Core, React, Solid) for programmatic color manipulation:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { RGBA } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
// From hex string (most common)
|
||||
const red = RGBA.fromHex("#FF0000")
|
||||
const shortHex = RGBA.fromHex("#F00") // Short form supported
|
||||
|
||||
// From integers (0-255 range for each channel)
|
||||
const green = RGBA.fromInts(0, 255, 0, 255) // r, g, b, a
|
||||
const semiGreen = RGBA.fromInts(0, 255, 0, 128) // 50% transparent
|
||||
|
||||
// From normalized floats (0.0-1.0 range)
|
||||
const blue = RGBA.fromValues(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0) // r, g, b, a
|
||||
const overlay = RGBA.fromValues(0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.7) // Dark semi-transparent
|
||||
|
||||
// Common use cases
|
||||
const backgroundColor = RGBA.fromHex("#1a1a2e")
|
||||
const textColor = RGBA.fromHex("#FFFFFF")
|
||||
const borderColor = RGBA.fromInts(122, 162, 247, 255) // Tokyo Night blue
|
||||
const shadowColor = RGBA.fromValues(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5) // 50% black
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use each method:**
|
||||
- `fromHex()` - When working with design specs or CSS colors
|
||||
- `fromInts()` - When you have 8-bit color values (0-255)
|
||||
- `fromValues()` - When doing color math or interpolation (normalized 0.0-1.0)
|
||||
|
||||
### Using RGBA in React/Solid
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React or Solid - RGBA works with color props
|
||||
import { RGBA } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const primaryColor = RGBA.fromHex("#7aa2f7")
|
||||
|
||||
function MyComponent() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box backgroundColor={primaryColor} borderColor={primaryColor}>
|
||||
<text fg={RGBA.fromHex("#c0caf5")}>Styled with RGBA</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Most props that accept color strings (`"#FF0000"`, `"red"`) also accept `RGBA` objects directly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Wrapping
|
||||
|
||||
Text wraps based on parent container:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box width={40}>
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
This long text will wrap when it reaches the edge of the
|
||||
40-character wide parent container.
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dynamic Content
|
||||
|
||||
### React
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
return <text>Count: {count}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solid
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
return <text>Count: {count()}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Core
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "counter",
|
||||
content: "Count: 0",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Update later
|
||||
text.setContent("Count: 1")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Modifiers Outside Text
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - modifiers only work inside <text>
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<strong>Won't work</strong>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<strong>This works</strong>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Empty Text
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// May cause layout issues
|
||||
<text></text>
|
||||
|
||||
// Better - use space or conditional
|
||||
<text>{content || " "}</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Format
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<text fg="FF0000">Missing #</text>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<text fg="#FF0000">With #</text>

# OpenTUI Core (@opentui/core)
|
||||
|
||||
The foundational library for building terminal user interfaces. Provides an imperative API with all primitives, giving you maximum control over rendering, state, and behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI Core runs on Bun with native Zig bindings for performance-critical operations:
|
||||
- **Renderer**: Manages terminal output, input events, and the rendering loop
|
||||
- **Renderables**: Hierarchical UI building blocks with Yoga layout
|
||||
- **Constructs**: Declarative wrappers for composing Renderables
|
||||
- **FrameBuffer**: Low-level 2D rendering surface for custom graphics
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Core
|
||||
|
||||
Use the core imperative API when:
|
||||
- Building a library or framework on top of OpenTUI
|
||||
- Need maximum control over rendering and state
|
||||
- Want smallest possible bundle size (no React/Solid runtime)
|
||||
- Building performance-critical applications
|
||||
- Integrating with existing imperative codebases
|
||||
|
||||
## When NOT to Use Core
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Use Instead |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Familiar with React patterns | `@opentui/react` |
|
||||
| Want fine-grained reactivity | `@opentui/solid` |
|
||||
| Building typical applications | React or Solid reconciler |
|
||||
| Rapid prototyping | React or Solid reconciler |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Using create-tui (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bunx create-tui@latest -t core my-app
|
||||
cd my-app
|
||||
bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI creates the `my-app` directory for you - it must **not already exist**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent guidance**: Always use autonomous mode with `-t <template>` flag. Never use interactive mode (`bunx create-tui@latest my-app` without `-t`) as it requires user prompts that agents cannot respond to.
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir my-tui && cd my-tui
|
||||
bun init
|
||||
bun install @opentui/core
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, TextRenderable, BoxRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a box container
|
||||
const container = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "container",
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
border: true,
|
||||
borderStyle: "rounded",
|
||||
padding: 1,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Create text inside the box
|
||||
const greeting = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "greeting",
|
||||
content: "Hello, OpenTUI!",
|
||||
fg: "#00FF00",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Compose the tree
|
||||
container.add(greeting)
|
||||
renderer.root.add(container)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Renderer
|
||||
|
||||
The `CliRenderer` orchestrates everything:
|
||||
- Manages the terminal viewport and alternate screen
|
||||
- Handles input events (keyboard, mouse, paste)
|
||||
- Runs the rendering loop (configurable FPS)
|
||||
- Provides the root node for the renderable tree
|
||||
|
||||
### Renderables vs Constructs
|
||||
|
||||
| Renderables (Imperative) | Constructs (Declarative) |
|
||||
|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|
||||
| `new TextRenderable(renderer, {...})` | `Text({...})` |
|
||||
| Requires renderer at creation | Creates VNode, instantiated later |
|
||||
| Direct mutation via methods | Chained calls recorded, replayed on instantiation |
|
||||
| Full control | Cleaner composition |
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Options
|
||||
|
||||
Renderables can be composed in two ways:
|
||||
1. **Imperative**: Create instances, call `.add()` to compose
|
||||
2. **Declarative (Constructs)**: Create VNodes, pass children as arguments
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun install @opentui/core # Install
|
||||
bun run src/index.ts # Run directly (no build needed)
|
||||
bun test # Run tests
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI runs on Bun and uses Zig for native builds.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Package management
|
||||
bun install @opentui/core
|
||||
|
||||
# Running
|
||||
bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
bun test
|
||||
|
||||
# Building (only needed for native code changes)
|
||||
bun run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Zig** is required for building native components.

# Core API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Renderer
|
||||
|
||||
### createCliRenderer(config?)
|
||||
|
||||
Creates and initializes the CLI renderer.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, type CliRendererConfig } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
targetFPS: 60, // Target frames per second
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: true, // Exit process on Ctrl+C
|
||||
consoleOptions: { // Debug console overlay
|
||||
position: ConsolePosition.BOTTOM,
|
||||
sizePercent: 30,
|
||||
startInDebugMode: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
onDestroy: () => {}, // Cleanup callback
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CliRenderer Instance
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.root // Root renderable node
|
||||
renderer.width // Terminal width in columns
|
||||
renderer.height // Terminal height in rows
|
||||
renderer.keyInput // Keyboard event emitter
|
||||
renderer.console // Console overlay controller
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.start() // Start render loop
|
||||
renderer.stop() // Stop render loop
|
||||
renderer.destroy() // Cleanup and exit alternate screen
|
||||
renderer.requestRender() // Request a re-render
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.setCursorStyle(options) // Set cursor style
|
||||
renderer.setCursorColor(color) // Set cursor color
|
||||
renderer.setMousePointer(style) // Set mouse pointer shape
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cursor & Mouse Pointer
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { type CursorStyleOptions, type MousePointerStyle } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
// Set cursor style (options object)
|
||||
renderer.setCursorStyle({
|
||||
style: "block", // "block" | "line" | "underline" | "default"
|
||||
blinking: true, // Cursor blink
|
||||
color: RGBA.fromHex("#FF0000"), // Cursor color
|
||||
cursor: "pointer", // Mouse pointer shape
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Set mouse pointer shape (OSC 22)
|
||||
renderer.setMousePointer("pointer")
|
||||
// Available: "default" | "pointer" | "text" | "crosshair" | "move" | "not-allowed"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Renderer Events
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.on("resize", (width, height) => {}) // Terminal resized
|
||||
renderer.on("focus", () => {}) // Terminal window gained focus
|
||||
renderer.on("blur", () => {}) // Terminal window lost focus
|
||||
renderer.on("theme_mode", (mode) => {}) // "dark" | "light"
|
||||
renderer.on("capabilities", (caps) => {}) // Terminal capabilities detected
|
||||
renderer.on("selection", (selection) => {}) // Text selection finished (mouse-up)
|
||||
renderer.on("destroy", () => {}) // Renderer destroyed
|
||||
renderer.on("memory:snapshot", (snapshot) => {}) // Memory snapshot
|
||||
renderer.on("debugOverlay:toggle", () => {}) // Debug overlay toggled
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Console Overlay
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.console.show() // Show console overlay
|
||||
renderer.console.hide() // Hide console overlay
|
||||
renderer.console.toggle() // Toggle visibility/focus
|
||||
renderer.console.clear() // Clear console contents
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Renderables

### Renderable Methods
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderable.add(child) // Add child renderable
|
||||
renderable.remove(child) // Remove child renderable
|
||||
renderable.getRenderable(id) // Find child by ID
|
||||
renderable.focus() // Focus this renderable
|
||||
renderable.blur() // Remove focus
|
||||
renderable.destroy() // Destroy and cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
renderable.on(event, handler) // Add event listener
|
||||
renderable.off(event, handler) // Remove event listener
|
||||
renderable.emit(event, ...args) // Emit event
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### TextRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
Display styled text content.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { TextRenderable, TextAttributes, t, bold, fg, underline } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "text",
|
||||
content: "Hello World",
|
||||
fg: "#FFFFFF", // Foreground color
|
||||
bg: "#000000", // Background color
|
||||
attributes: TextAttributes.BOLD | TextAttributes.UNDERLINE,
|
||||
selectable: true, // Allow text selection
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Styled text with template literals
|
||||
const styled = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
content: t`${bold("Bold")} and ${fg("#FF0000")(underline("red underlined"))}`,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**TextAttributes flags:**
|

- `TextAttributes.BOLD`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.DIM`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.ITALIC`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.UNDERLINE`

||||
- `TextAttributes.HIDDEN`
|
||||
- `TextAttributes.STRIKETHROUGH`
|
||||
|
||||
### BoxRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
Container with borders and layout.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { BoxRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const box = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "box",
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#1a1a2e",

|
||||
onMouseMove: (event) => {},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### InputRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
Single-line text input.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { InputRenderable, InputRenderableEvents } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const input = new InputRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "input",
|
||||
width: 30,
|
||||
placeholder: "Enter text...",
|
||||
value: "", // Initial value
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#1a1a1a",
|
||||
textColor: "#FFFFFF",
|
||||
cursorColor: "#00FF00",
|
||||
focusedBackgroundColor: "#2a2a2a",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
input.on(InputRenderableEvents.CHANGE, (value: string) => {
|
||||
console.log("Value:", value)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
input.focus() // Must be focused to receive input
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SelectRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
List selection component.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { SelectRenderable, SelectRenderableEvents } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const select = new SelectRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "select",
|
||||
width: 30,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
options: [
|
||||
{ name: "Option 1", description: "First option", value: "1" },
|
||||
{ name: "Option 2", description: "Second option", value: "2" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
selectedIndex: 0,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed - selection confirmed
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.ITEM_SELECTED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Selected:", option.name)
|
||||
performAction(option)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Called when navigating with arrow keys
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.SELECTION_CHANGED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Browsing:", option.name)
|
||||
showPreview(option)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
select.focus() // Navigate with up/down/j/k, select with enter
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Event distinction:**
|
||||
- `ITEM_SELECTED` - Enter key pressed, user confirms selection
|
||||
- `SELECTION_CHANGED` - Arrow keys, user navigating/browsing options
|
||||
|
||||
### TabSelectRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
Horizontal tab selection.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { TabSelectRenderable, TabSelectRenderableEvents } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const tabs = new TabSelectRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "tabs",
|
||||
width: 60,
|
||||
options: [
|
||||
{ name: "Home", description: "Dashboard" },
|
||||
{ name: "Settings", description: "Configuration" },
|
||||
],
|
||||
tabWidth: 20,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed - tab selected
|
||||
tabs.on(TabSelectRenderableEvents.ITEM_SELECTED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Tab selected:", option.name)
|
||||
switchToTab(index)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Called when navigating with arrow keys
|
||||
tabs.on(TabSelectRenderableEvents.SELECTION_CHANGED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
console.log("Browsing tab:", option.name)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
tabs.focus() // Navigate with left/right/[/], select with enter
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Event distinction** (same as SelectRenderable):
|
||||
- `ITEM_SELECTED` - Enter key pressed, user confirms tab
|
||||
- `SELECTION_CHANGED` - Arrow keys, user navigating tabs
|
||||
|
||||
### ScrollBoxRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
Scrollable container.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ScrollBoxRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const scrollbox = new ScrollBoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "scrollbox",
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 20,
|
||||
showScrollbar: true,
|
||||
scrollbarOptions: {
|
||||
showArrows: true,
|
||||
trackOptions: {
|
||||
foregroundColor: "#7aa2f7",
|
||||
backgroundColor: "#414868",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Add content that exceeds viewport
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
|
||||
scrollbox.add(new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: `line-${i}`,
|
||||
content: `Line ${i}`,
|
||||
}))
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
scrollbox.focus() // Scroll with arrow keys
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ASCIIFontRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
ASCII art text.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ASCIIFontRenderable, RGBA } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const title = new ASCIIFontRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "title",
|
||||
text: "OPENTUI",
|
||||
font: "tiny" | "block" | "slick" | "shade",
|
||||
color: RGBA.fromHex("#FFFFFF"),
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### FrameBufferRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
Low-level 2D rendering surface.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { FrameBufferRenderable, RGBA } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const canvas = new FrameBufferRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "canvas",
|
||||
width: 50,
|
||||
height: 20,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Direct pixel manipulation
|
||||
canvas.frameBuffer.fillRect(10, 5, 20, 8, RGBA.fromHex("#FF0000"))
|
||||
canvas.frameBuffer.drawText("Custom", 12, 7, RGBA.fromHex("#FFFFFF"))
|
||||
canvas.frameBuffer.setCell(x, y, char, fg, bg)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Constructs (VNode API)
|
||||
|
||||
Declarative wrappers that create VNodes instead of direct instances.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Text, Box, Input, Select, instantiate, delegate } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
// Create VNode tree
|
||||
const ui = Box(
|
||||
{ border: true, padding: 1 },
|
||||
Text({ content: "Hello" }),
|
||||
Input({ placeholder: "Type here..." }),
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// Instantiate onto renderer
|
||||
renderer.root.add(ui)
|
||||
|
||||
// Delegate focus to nested element
|
||||
const form = delegate(
|
||||
{ focus: "email-input" },
|
||||
Box(
|
||||
{},
|
||||
Text({ content: "Email:" }),
|
||||
Input({ id: "email-input", placeholder: "you@example.com" }),
|
||||
),
|
||||
)
|
||||
form.focus() // Focuses the input, not the box
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Colors (RGBA)
|
||||
|
||||
The `RGBA` class is exported from `@opentui/core` but works across **all frameworks** (Core, React, Solid). Use it for programmatic color manipulation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Colors
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { RGBA, parseColor } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
// From hex string (most common)
|
||||
RGBA.fromHex("#FF0000") // Full hex
|
||||
RGBA.fromHex("#F00") // Short hex
|
||||
|
||||
// From integers (0-255 range)
|
||||
RGBA.fromInts(255, 0, 0, 255) // r, g, b, a - fully opaque red
|
||||
RGBA.fromInts(255, 0, 0, 128) // 50% transparent red
|
||||
RGBA.fromInts(0, 0, 0, 0) // Fully transparent
|
||||
|
||||
// From normalized floats (0.0-1.0 range)
|
||||
RGBA.fromValues(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0) // Fully opaque red
|
||||
RGBA.fromValues(0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.7) // Dark gray, 70% opaque
|
||||
RGBA.fromValues(0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0) // Light blue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Color Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Theme colors
|
||||
const primary = RGBA.fromHex("#7aa2f7") // Tokyo Night blue
|
||||
const background = RGBA.fromHex("#1a1a2e")
|
||||
const foreground = RGBA.fromHex("#c0caf5")
|
||||
const error = RGBA.fromHex("#f7768e")
|
||||
|
||||
// Overlays and shadows
|
||||
const modalOverlay = RGBA.fromValues(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5) // 50% black
|
||||
const shadow = RGBA.fromInts(0, 0, 0, 77) // 30% black
|
||||
|
||||
// Borders
|
||||
const activeBorder = RGBA.fromHex("#7aa2f7")
|
||||
const inactiveBorder = RGBA.fromInts(65, 72, 104, 255)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### parseColor Utility
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Accepts multiple formats
|
||||
parseColor("#FF0000") // Hex string
|
||||
parseColor("red") // CSS color name
|
||||
parseColor("transparent") // Special values
|
||||
parseColor(RGBA.fromHex("#F00")) // Pass-through RGBA objects
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use Each Method
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Use When |
|
||||
|--------|----------|
|
||||
| `fromHex()` | Working with design specs, CSS colors, config files |
|
||||
| `fromInts()` | You have 8-bit values (0-255), common in graphics |
|
||||
| `fromValues()` | Doing color interpolation, animations, math |
|
||||
| `parseColor()` | Accepting user input or config that could be any format |
|
||||
|
||||
### Using RGBA in React/Solid
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Import from @opentui/core, use in any framework
|
||||
import { RGBA } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
// React or Solid component
|
||||
function ThemedBox() {
|
||||
const bg = RGBA.fromHex("#1a1a2e")
|
||||
const border = RGBA.fromInts(122, 162, 247, 255)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box backgroundColor={bg} borderColor={border} border>
|
||||
<text fg={RGBA.fromHex("#c0caf5")}>Works everywhere!</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Color props in React/Solid accept both string formats (`"#FF0000"`, `"red"`) and `RGBA` objects.
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard Input
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { type KeyEvent } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key: KeyEvent) => {
|
||||
console.log(key.name) // "a", "escape", "f1", etc.
|
||||
console.log(key.sequence) // Raw escape sequence
|
||||
console.log(key.ctrl) // Ctrl held
|
||||
console.log(key.shift) // Shift held
|
||||
console.log(key.meta) // Alt held
|
||||
console.log(key.option) // Option held (macOS)
|
||||
console.log(key.eventType) // "press" | "release" | "repeat"
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("paste", (event: PasteEvent) => {
|
||||
const text = decodePasteBytes(event.bytes)
|
||||
console.log("Pasted:", text)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Animation Timeline
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Timeline, engine } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = new Timeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
loop: false,
|
||||
autoplay: true,
|
||||
})
|

||||
{ width: 0 },

||||
width: 50,
|
||||
duration: 1000,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
box.setWidth(anim.targets[0].width)
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
engine.attach(renderer)
|
||||
engine.addTimeline(timeline)
|
||||
```

## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Development Mode
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Show debug overlay and console
|
||||
OTUI_SHOW_STATS=true SHOW_CONSOLE=true bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminal Compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Force wcwidth for problematic terminals
|
||||
OPENTUI_FORCE_WCWIDTH=true bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable graphics for SSH sessions
|
||||
OPENTUI_NO_GRAPHICS=true bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### package.json

```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: OpenTUI uses `NodeNext` module resolution. All internal imports use `.js` extensions. If you use `bundler` resolution, imports still work but `NodeNext` is recommended for compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building Native Code
|
||||
|
||||
Native code changes require rebuilding:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From repo root (if developing OpenTUI itself)
|
||||
bun run build
|
||||
|
||||
# Zig is required for native compilation
|
||||
# Install: https://ziglang.org/learn/getting-started/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: TypeScript changes do NOT require building. Bun runs TypeScript directly.

# Core Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime Environment
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Bun, Not Node.js
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI is built for Bun. Always use Bun commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CORRECT
|
||||
bun install @opentui/core
|
||||
bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
bun test
|
||||
|
||||
# WRONG
|
||||
npm install @opentui/core
|
||||
node src/index.ts
|
||||
npx jest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bun APIs to Use
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer Bun's built-in APIs for your application code:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// CORRECT - Bun APIs
|
||||
Bun.serve({ ... }) // Instead of express
|
||||
Bun.$`ls -la` // Instead of execa
|
||||
import { Database } from "bun:sqlite" // Instead of better-sqlite3
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG - Node.js patterns
|
||||
import express from "express"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: OpenTUI itself uses `node:fs` internally for file I/O (for broader compatibility), but your application code should still prefer Bun APIs where available.
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid process.exit()
|
||||
|
||||
**Never use `process.exit()` directly** - it prevents proper terminal cleanup and can leave the terminal in a broken state (alternate screen mode, raw input mode, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// WRONG - Terminal may be left in broken state
|
||||
if (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Fatal error")
|
||||
process.exit(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Use renderer.destroy() for cleanup
|
||||
if (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Fatal error")
|
||||
await renderer.destroy()
|
||||
process.exit(1) // Only after destroy
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// BETTER - Let destroy handle exit
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: true, // Handles Ctrl+C properly
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// For programmatic exit
|
||||
renderer.destroy() // Cleans up and exits
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`renderer.destroy()` restores the terminal to its original state before exiting.
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Bun auto-loads `.env` files. Don't use dotenv:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
import dotenv from "dotenv"
|
||||
dotenv.config()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging TUIs
|
||||
|
||||
### Cannot See console.log Output
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI captures console output for the debug overlay. You can't see logs in the terminal while the TUI is running.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solutions:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use the console overlay:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
renderer.console.show()
|
||||
console.log("This appears in the overlay")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Toggle with keyboard:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "f12") {
|
||||
renderer.console.toggle()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Write to a file:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { appendFileSync } from "node:fs"
|
||||
function debugLog(msg: string) {
|
||||
appendFileSync("debug.log", `${new Date().toISOString()} ${msg}\n`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Disable console capture:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
OTUI_USE_CONSOLE=false bun run src/index.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reproduce Issues in Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Don't guess at bugs. Create a reproducible test:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
|
||||
test("reproduces the issue", async () => {
|
||||
const { renderer, snapshot } = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Setup that reproduces the bug
|
||||
const box = new BoxRenderable(renderer, { ... })
|
||||
renderer.root.add(box)
|
||||
|
||||
// Verify with snapshot
|
||||
expect(snapshot()).toMatchSnapshot()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Components Must Be Focused
|
||||
|
||||
Input components only receive keyboard input when focused:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const input = new InputRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "input",
|
||||
placeholder: "Type here...",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.root.add(input)
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG - input won't receive keystrokes
|
||||
// (no focus call)
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
input.focus()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus in Nested Components
|
||||
|
||||
When a component is inside a container, focus the component directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const container = new BoxRenderable(renderer, { id: "container" })
|
||||
const input = new InputRenderable(renderer, { id: "input" })
|
||||
container.add(input)
|
||||
renderer.root.add(container)
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
container.focus()
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
input.focus()
|
||||
|
||||
// Or use getRenderable
|
||||
container.getRenderable("input")?.focus()
|
||||
|
||||
// Or use delegate (constructs)
|
||||
const form = delegate(
|
||||
{ focus: "input" },
|
||||
Box({}, Input({ id: "input" })),
|
||||
)
|
||||
form.focus() // Routes to the input
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Build Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Zig is Required
|
||||
|
||||
Native code compilation requires Zig:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Zig first
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
brew install zig
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux
|
||||
# Download from https://ziglang.org/download/
|
||||
|
||||
# Then build
|
||||
bun run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Build
|
||||
|
||||
- **TypeScript changes**: NO build needed (Bun runs TS directly)
|
||||
- **Native code changes**: Build required
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Only needed when changing native (Zig) code
|
||||
cd packages/core
|
||||
bun run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Errors
|
||||
|
||||
### "Cannot read properties of undefined"
|
||||
|
||||
Usually means a renderable wasn't added to the tree:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// WRONG - not added to tree
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, { content: "Hello" })
|
||||
// text.someMethod() // May fail
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, { content: "Hello" })
|
||||
renderer.root.add(text)
|
||||
text.someMethod()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout Not Updating
|
||||
|
||||
Yoga layout is calculated lazily. Force a recalculation:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// After changing layout properties
|
||||
box.setWidth(newWidth)
|
||||
renderer.requestRender()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Overflow/Clipping
|
||||
|
||||
Text doesn't wrap by default. Set explicit width:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// May overflow
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
content: "Very long text that might overflow the terminal...",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Contained within width
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
content: "Very long text that might overflow the terminal...",
|
||||
width: 40, // Will clip or wrap based on parent
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Colors Not Showing
|
||||
|
||||
Check terminal capability and color format:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// CORRECT formats
|
||||
fg: "#FF0000" // Hex
|
||||
fg: "red" // CSS color name
|
||||
fg: RGBA.fromHex("#FF0000")
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
fg: "FF0000" // Missing #
|
||||
fg: 0xFF0000 // Number (not supported)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid Frequent Re-renders
|
||||
|
||||
Batch updates when possible:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// WRONG - multiple render calls
|
||||
item1.setContent("...")
|
||||
item2.setContent("...")
|
||||
item3.setContent("...")
|
||||
|
||||
// BETTER - single render after all updates
|
||||
// (OpenTUI batches automatically, but be mindful)
|
||||
items.forEach((item, i) => {
|
||||
item.setContent(data[i])
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimize Tree Depth
|
||||
|
||||
Deep nesting impacts layout calculation:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Avoid unnecessary wrappers
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
Box({}, Box({}, Box({}, Text({ content: "Hello" }))))
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
Box({}, Text({ content: "Hello" }))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Use display: none
|
||||
|
||||
Hide elements instead of removing/re-adding:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// For toggling visibility
|
||||
element.setDisplay("none") // Hidden
|
||||
element.setDisplay("flex") // Visible
|
||||
|
||||
// Instead of
|
||||
parent.remove(element)
|
||||
parent.add(element)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Runner
|
||||
|
||||
Use Bun's test runner:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect, beforeEach, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
|
||||
test("my test", () => {
|
||||
expect(1 + 1).toBe(2)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test from Package Directories
|
||||
|
||||
Run tests from the specific package directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CORRECT
|
||||
cd packages/core
|
||||
bun test
|
||||
|
||||
# For native tests
|
||||
cd packages/core
|
||||
bun run test:native
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Filter Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Bun test filter
|
||||
bun test --filter "component name"
|
||||
|
||||
# Native test filter
|
||||
bun run test:native -Dtest-filter="test name"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Names
|
||||
|
||||
Common key names for `KeyEvent.name`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Letters/numbers
|
||||
"a", "b", ..., "z"
|
||||
"1", "2", ..., "0"
|
||||
|
||||
// Special keys
|
||||
"escape", "enter", "return", "tab", "backspace", "delete"
|
||||
"up", "down", "left", "right"
|
||||
"home", "end", "pageup", "pagedown"
|
||||
"f1", "f2", ..., "f12"
|
||||
"space"
|
||||
|
||||
// Modifiers (check boolean properties)
|
||||
key.ctrl // Ctrl held
|
||||
key.shift // Shift held
|
||||
key.meta // Alt held
|
||||
key.option // Option held (macOS)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Event Types
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
// eventType: "press" | "release" | "repeat"
|
||||
if (key.eventType === "repeat") {
|
||||
// Key being held down
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||

# Core Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Composition Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Imperative Composition
|
||||
|
||||
Create renderables and compose with `.add()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, BoxRenderable, TextRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
// Create parent
|
||||
const container = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "container",
|
||||
flexDirection: "column",
|
||||
padding: 1,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Create children
|
||||
const header = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "header",
|
||||
content: "Header",
|
||||
fg: "#00FF00",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const body = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "body",
|
||||
content: "Body content",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Compose tree
|
||||
container.add(header)
|
||||
container.add(body)
|
||||
renderer.root.add(container)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Declarative Composition (Constructs)
|
||||
|
||||
Use VNode functions for cleaner composition:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, Box, Text, Input, delegate } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
// Compose as function calls
|
||||
const ui = Box(
|
||||
{ flexDirection: "column", padding: 1 },
|
||||
Text({ content: "Header", fg: "#00FF00" }),
|
||||
Box(
|
||||
{ flexDirection: "row", gap: 2 },
|
||||
Text({ content: "Name:" }),
|
||||
Input({ id: "name", placeholder: "Enter name..." }),
|
||||
),
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.root.add(ui)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Reusable Components
|
||||
|
||||
Create factory functions for reusable UI pieces:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Imperative factory
|
||||
function createLabeledInput(
|
||||
renderer: RenderContext,
|
||||
props: { id: string; label: string; placeholder: string }
|
||||
) {
|
||||
const container = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: `${props.id}-container`,
|
||||
flexDirection: "row",
|
||||
gap: 1,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
container.add(new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: `${props.id}-label`,
|
||||
content: props.label,
|
||||
}))
|
||||
|
||||
container.add(new InputRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: `${props.id}-input`,
|
||||
placeholder: props.placeholder,
|
||||
width: 20,
|
||||
}))
|
||||
|
||||
return container
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Declarative factory
|
||||
function LabeledInput(props: { id: string; label: string; placeholder: string }) {
|
||||
return delegate(
|
||||
{ focus: `${props.id}-input` },
|
||||
Box(
|
||||
{ flexDirection: "row", gap: 1 },
|
||||
Text({ content: props.label }),
|
||||
Input({
|
||||
id: `${props.id}-input`,
|
||||
placeholder: props.placeholder,
|
||||
width: 20,
|
||||
}),
|
||||
),
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus Delegation
|
||||
|
||||
Route focus calls to nested elements:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { delegate, Box, Input, Text } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const form = delegate(
|
||||
{
|
||||
focus: "email-input", // Route .focus() to this child
|
||||
blur: "email-input", // Route .blur() to this child
|
||||
},
|
||||
Box(
|
||||
{ border: true, padding: 1 },
|
||||
Text({ content: "Email:" }),
|
||||
Input({ id: "email-input", placeholder: "you@example.com" }),
|
||||
),
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// This focuses the input inside, not the box
|
||||
form.focus()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard Events
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
// Global keyboard handler
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
process.exit(0)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.name === "c") {
|
||||
// Ctrl+C handling (if exitOnCtrlC is false)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
// Tab navigation
|
||||
focusNext()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Paste events
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("paste", (event) => {
|
||||
const text = decodePasteBytes(event.bytes)
|
||||
currentInput?.setValue(currentInput.value + text)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Component Events
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { InputRenderable, InputRenderableEvents } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const input = new InputRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "search",
|
||||
placeholder: "Search...",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
input.on(InputRenderableEvents.CHANGE, (value) => {
|
||||
performSearch(value)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Select events
|
||||
const select = new SelectRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "menu",
|
||||
options: [...],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.ITEM_SELECTED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
handleSelection(option)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
select.on(SelectRenderableEvents.SELECTION_CHANGED, (index, option) => {
|
||||
showPreview(option)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse Events
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const button = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "button",
|
||||
border: true,
|
||||
onMouseDown: (event) => {
|
||||
button.setBackgroundColor("#444444")
|
||||
},
|
||||
onMouseUp: (event) => {
|
||||
button.setBackgroundColor("#222222")
|
||||
handleClick()
|
||||
},
|
||||
onMouseMove: (event) => {
|
||||
// Hover effect
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## State Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Local State
|
||||
|
||||
Manage state in closures or objects:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Closure-based state
|
||||
function createCounter(renderer: RenderContext) {
|
||||
let count = 0
|
||||
|
||||
const display = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "count",
|
||||
content: `Count: ${count}`,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const increment = () => {
|
||||
count++
|
||||
display.setContent(`Count: ${count}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return { display, increment }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Class-based state
|
||||
class CounterWidget {
|
||||
private count = 0
|
||||
private display: TextRenderable
|
||||
|
||||
constructor(renderer: RenderContext) {
|
||||
this.display = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "count",
|
||||
content: this.formatCount(),
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
private formatCount() {
|
||||
return `Count: ${this.count}`
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
increment() {
|
||||
this.count++
|
||||
this.display.setContent(this.formatCount())
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
getRenderable() {
|
||||
return this.display
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus Management
|
||||
|
||||
Track and manage focus across components:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class FocusManager {
|
||||
private focusables: Renderable[] = []
|
||||
private currentIndex = 0
|
||||
|
||||
register(renderable: Renderable) {
|
||||
this.focusables.push(renderable)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
focusNext() {
|
||||
this.focusables[this.currentIndex]?.blur()
|
||||
this.currentIndex = (this.currentIndex + 1) % this.focusables.length
|
||||
this.focusables[this.currentIndex]?.focus()
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
focusPrevious() {
|
||||
this.focusables[this.currentIndex]?.blur()
|
||||
this.currentIndex = (this.currentIndex - 1 + this.focusables.length) % this.focusables.length
|
||||
this.focusables[this.currentIndex]?.focus()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
const focusManager = new FocusManager()
|
||||
focusManager.register(input1)
|
||||
focusManager.register(input2)
|
||||
focusManager.register(select1)
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
key.shift ? focusManager.focusPrevious() : focusManager.focusNext()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Lifecycle Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
Always clean up resources:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
// Track intervals/timeouts
|
||||
const intervals: Timer[] = []
|
||||
|
||||
intervals.push(setInterval(() => {
|
||||
updateClock()
|
||||
}, 1000))
|
||||
|
||||
// Cleanup on exit
|
||||
process.on("SIGINT", () => {
|
||||
intervals.forEach(clearInterval)
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
process.exit(0)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Or use onDestroy callback
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
onDestroy: () => {
|
||||
intervals.forEach(clearInterval)
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Update UI based on external data:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
async function createDashboard(renderer: RenderContext) {
|
||||
const statsText = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "stats",
|
||||
content: "Loading...",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Poll for updates
|
||||
const updateStats = async () => {
|
||||
const data = await fetchStats()
|
||||
statsText.setContent(`CPU: ${data.cpu}% | Memory: ${data.memory}%`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Initial load
|
||||
await updateStats()
|
||||
|
||||
// Periodic updates
|
||||
setInterval(updateStats, 5000)
|
||||
|
||||
return statsText
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Responsive Layout
|
||||
|
||||
Adapt to terminal size:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
const mainPanel = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "main",
|
||||
width: "100%",
|
||||
height: "100%",
|
||||
flexDirection: renderer.width > 80 ? "row" : "column",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Listen for resize
|
||||
process.stdout.on("resize", () => {
|
||||
mainPanel.setFlexDirection(renderer.width > 80 ? "row" : "column")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Split Panels
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function createSplitView(renderer: RenderContext, ratio = 0.3) {
|
||||
const container = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "split",
|
||||
flexDirection: "row",
|
||||
width: "100%",
|
||||
height: "100%",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const left = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "left",
|
||||
width: `${ratio * 100}%`,
|
||||
border: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const right = new BoxRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "right",
|
||||
flexGrow: 1,
|
||||
border: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
container.add(left)
|
||||
container.add(right)
|
||||
|
||||
return { container, left, right }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Console Overlay
|
||||
|
||||
Use the built-in console for debugging:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
consoleOptions: {
|
||||
startInDebugMode: true,
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Show console
|
||||
renderer.console.show()
|
||||
|
||||
// All console methods work
|
||||
console.log("Debug info")
|
||||
console.warn("Warning")
|
||||
console.error("Error")
|
||||
|
||||
// Toggle with keyboard
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "f12") {
|
||||
renderer.console.toggle()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### State Inspection
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function debugState(label: string, state: unknown) {
|
||||
console.log(`[${label}]`, JSON.stringify(state, null, 2))
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// In your update logic
|
||||
debugState("form", { name: nameInput.value, email: emailInput.value })
|
||||
```

# Keyboard Input Handling
|
||||
|
||||
How to handle keyboard input in OpenTUI applications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI provides keyboard input handling through:
|
||||
- **Core**: `renderer.keyInput` EventEmitter
|
||||
- **React**: `useKeyboard()` hook
|
||||
- **Solid**: `useKeyboard()` hook
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
Use this reference when you need keyboard shortcuts, focus-aware input handling, or custom keybindings.
|
||||
|
||||
## KeyEvent Object
|
||||
|
||||
All keyboard handlers receive a `KeyEvent` object:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface KeyEvent {
|
||||
name: string // Key name: "a", "escape", "f1", etc.
|
||||
sequence: string // Raw escape sequence
|
||||
ctrl: boolean // Ctrl modifier held
|
||||
shift: boolean // Shift modifier held
|
||||
meta: boolean // Alt modifier held
|
||||
option: boolean // Option modifier held (macOS)
|
||||
eventType: "press" | "release" | "repeat"
|
||||
repeated: boolean // Key is being held (repeat event)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Core
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, type KeyEvent } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key: KeyEvent) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.name === "s") {
|
||||
saveDocument()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### React
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useKeyboard, useRenderer } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Press ESC to exit</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Solid
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useKeyboard, useRenderer } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Press ESC to exit</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Names

```typescript
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.name === "c") {
|
||||
// Ctrl+C
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.shift && key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
// Shift+Tab
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.meta && key.name === "s") {
|
||||
// Alt+S (meta = Alt on most systems)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.option && key.name === "a") {
|
||||
// Option+A (macOS)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Modifier Combinations
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Ctrl+Shift+S
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.shift && key.name === "s") {
|
||||
saveAs()
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Ctrl+Alt+Delete (careful with system shortcuts!)
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.meta && key.name === "delete") {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Event Types
|
||||
|
||||
### Press Events (Default)
|
||||
|
||||
Normal key press:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.eventType === "press") {
|
||||
// Initial key press
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Repeat Events
|
||||
|
||||
Key held down:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("keypress", (key) => {
|
||||
if (key.eventType === "repeat" || key.repeated) {
|
||||
// Key is being held
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Release Events
|
||||
|
||||
Key released (opt-in):
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React
|
||||
useKeyboard(
|
||||
(key) => {
|
||||
if (key.eventType === "release") {
|
||||
// Key released
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ release: true } // Enable release events
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// Solid
|
||||
useKeyboard(
|
||||
(key) => {
|
||||
if (key.eventType === "release") {
|
||||
// Key released
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ release: true }
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Navigation Menu
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Menu() {
|
||||
const [selectedIndex, setSelectedIndex] = useState(0)
|
||||
const items = ["Home", "Settings", "Help", "Quit"]
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
switch (key.name) {
|
||||
case "up":
|
||||
case "k":
|
||||
setSelectedIndex(i => Math.max(0, i - 1))
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "down":
|
||||
case "j":
|
||||
setSelectedIndex(i => Math.min(items.length - 1, i + 1))
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "enter":
|
||||
handleSelect(items[selectedIndex])
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
{items.map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<text
|
||||
key={item}
|
||||
fg={i === selectedIndex ? "#00FF00" : "#FFFFFF"}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{i === selectedIndex ? "> " : " "}{item}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Modal Escape
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Modal({ onClose, children }) {
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
onClose()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border padding={2}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Vim-style Modes
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Editor() {
|
||||
const [mode, setMode] = useState<"normal" | "insert">("normal")
|
||||
const [content, setContent] = useState("")
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (mode === "normal") {
|
||||
switch (key.name) {
|
||||
case "i":
|
||||
setMode("insert")
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "escape":
|
||||
// Already in normal mode
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "j":
|
||||
moveCursorDown()
|
||||
break
|
||||
case "k":
|
||||
moveCursorUp()
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else if (mode === "insert") {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
setMode("normal")
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Input component handles text in insert mode
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<text>Mode: {mode}</text>
|
||||
<textarea
|
||||
value={content}
|
||||
onChange={setContent}
|
||||
focused={mode === "insert"}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Game Controls
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Game() {
|
||||
const [pressed, setPressed] = useState(new Set<string>())
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard(
|
||||
(key) => {
|
||||
setPressed(keys => {
|
||||
const newKeys = new Set(keys)
|
||||
if (key.eventType === "release") {
|
||||
newKeys.delete(key.name)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
newKeys.add(key.name)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return newKeys
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ release: true }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
// Game logic uses pressed set
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (pressed.has("up") || pressed.has("w")) {
|
||||
moveUp()
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (pressed.has("down") || pressed.has("s")) {
|
||||
moveDown()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [pressed])
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>WASD or arrows to move</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard Shortcuts Help
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function ShortcutsHelp() {
|
||||
const shortcuts = [
|
||||
{ keys: "Ctrl+S", action: "Save" },
|
||||
{ keys: "Ctrl+Q", action: "Quit" },
|
||||
{ keys: "Ctrl+F", action: "Find" },
|
||||
{ keys: "Tab", action: "Next field" },
|
||||
{ keys: "Shift+Tab", action: "Previous field" },
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border title="Keyboard Shortcuts" padding={1}>
|
||||
{shortcuts.map(({ keys, action }) => (
|
||||
<box key={keys} flexDirection="row">
|
||||
<text width={15} fg="#00FFFF">{keys}</text>
|
||||
<text>{action}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Paste Events
|
||||
|
||||
Handle pasted content. Paste events deliver raw bytes, not decoded text.
|
||||
|
||||
### PasteEvent Object
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { type PasteEvent } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
interface PasteEvent {
|
||||
type: "paste" // Always "paste"
|
||||
bytes: Uint8Array // Raw pasted bytes
|
||||
metadata?: PasteMetadata // Optional metadata
|
||||
preventDefault(): void // Prevent default paste handling
|
||||
defaultPrevented: boolean // Whether preventDefault was called
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
interface PasteMetadata {
|
||||
mimeType?: string // MIME type if available
|
||||
kind?: PasteKind // Paste kind
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Decoding Paste Bytes
|
||||
|
||||
Use `decodePasteBytes` to convert raw bytes to a string, and `stripAnsiSequences` to remove ANSI escape codes:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { decodePasteBytes, stripAnsiSequences } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const text = decodePasteBytes(event.bytes) // Decode UTF-8
|
||||
const clean = stripAnsiSequences(decodePasteBytes(event.bytes)) // Decode + strip ANSI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Core
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { type PasteEvent, decodePasteBytes } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.keyInput.on("paste", (event: PasteEvent) => {
|
||||
const text = decodePasteBytes(event.bytes)
|
||||
console.log("Pasted:", text)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solid
|
||||
|
||||
Solid provides a dedicated `usePaste` hook:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { usePaste } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { decodePasteBytes } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
usePaste((event) => {
|
||||
const text = decodePasteBytes(event.bytes)
|
||||
console.log("Pasted:", text)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Paste something</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: `usePaste` is **Solid-only**. React does not have this hook - handle paste via the Core event emitter or input component's `onChange`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Text selection is renderer-managed. The renderer owns a single `Selection` object, walks the renderable tree to find selectable children, and emits a `"selection"` event when the user finishes selecting (mouse-up). The `Selection` object aggregates text from all selected renderables automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
### Making Renderables Selectable
|
||||
|
||||
A renderable must have `selectable` set to `true` to participate in selection. Text-based renderables (`TextRenderable`, `TextareaRenderable`, `ASCIIFontRenderable`, `TextTableRenderable`) support this:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// React / Solid
|
||||
<text selectable>This text can be selected</text>
|
||||
|
||||
// Core
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(renderer, {
|
||||
id: "label",
|
||||
content: "This text can be selected",
|
||||
selectable: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Copy-on-Selection (Core)
|
||||
|
||||
Listen to the renderer's `"selection"` event. The `Selection` object's `getSelectedText()` returns text aggregated from all selected renderables in reading order:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import type { Selection } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
renderer.on("selection", (selection: Selection) => {
|
||||
const text = selection.getSelectedText()
|
||||
if (text) {
|
||||
renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52(text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important**: Call `selection.getSelectedText()` on the `Selection` object from the event -- not `renderer.root.getSelectedText()`. Individual renderables only return their own selected text. The `Selection` object aggregates across the tree.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copy-on-Selection (Solid)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useSelectionHandler } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
useSelectionHandler((selection) => {
|
||||
const text = selection.getSelectedText()
|
||||
if (text) {
|
||||
renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52(text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text selectable>Select this text</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**: `useSelectionHandler` is **Solid-only**. React does not have this hook -- use the Core `renderer.on("selection", ...)` event.
|
||||
|
||||
### Selection Object
|
||||
|
||||
The `Selection` object passed to the event callback:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
selection.getSelectedText() // Aggregated text from all selected renderables
|
||||
selection.bounds // { startX, startY, endX, endY } bounding rect
|
||||
selection.selectedRenderables // Renderable[] with active selections
|
||||
selection.isActive // Whether selection is still active
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Individual renderables also expose:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
renderable.hasSelection() // Does this renderable have selected text?
|
||||
renderable.getSelectedText() // Selected text in this renderable only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### How Selection Traversal Works
|
||||
|
||||
When the user drags to select, the renderer:
|
||||
1. Identifies the selection container (common ancestor of start and end points)
|
||||
2. Walks all `selectable` descendants within the selection bounds
|
||||
3. Calls `onSelectionChanged(selection)` on each, which computes local selection
|
||||
4. Tracks which renderables have active selections in `selection.selectedRenderables`
|
||||
|
||||
This means selection works across multiple renderables. Dragging across two `<text selectable>` elements selects text in both, and `selection.getSelectedText()` joins them with newlines.
|
||||
|
||||
## Clipboard API (OSC 52)
|
||||
|
||||
Copy text to the system clipboard using OSC 52 escape sequences. Works over SSH and in most modern terminal emulators.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Copy to clipboard
|
||||
const success = renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52("text to copy")
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if OSC 52 is supported
|
||||
if (renderer.isOsc52Supported()) {
|
||||
renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52("Hello!")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Clear clipboard
|
||||
renderer.clearClipboardOSC52()
|
||||
|
||||
// Target specific clipboard (X11)
|
||||
import { ClipboardTarget } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52("text", ClipboardTarget.Primary) // X11 primary
|
||||
renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52("text", ClipboardTarget.Clipboard) // System clipboard (default)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus and Input Components
|
||||
|
||||
Input components (`<input>`, `<textarea>`, `<select>`) capture keyboard events when focused:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<input focused /> // Receives keyboard input
|
||||
|
||||
// Global useKeyboard still fires, but input consumes characters
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent conflicts, check if an input is focused before handling global shortcuts:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
const [inputFocused, setInputFocused] = useState(false)
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (inputFocused) return // Let input handle it
|
||||
|
||||
// Global shortcuts
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<input
|
||||
focused={inputFocused}
|
||||
onFocus={() => setInputFocused(true)}
|
||||
onBlur={() => setInputFocused(false)}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminal Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
Some key combinations are captured by the terminal or OS:
|
||||
- `Ctrl+C` often sends SIGINT (use `exitOnCtrlC: false` to handle)
|
||||
- `Ctrl+Z` suspends the process
|
||||
- Some function keys may be intercepted
|
||||
|
||||
### SSH and Remote Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
Key detection may vary over SSH. Test on target environments.
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple Handlers
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple `useKeyboard` calls all receive events. Coordinate handlers to prevent conflicts.

# OpenTUI Layout System
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI uses the Yoga layout engine, providing CSS Flexbox-like capabilities for positioning and sizing components in the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Key concepts:
|
||||
- **Flexbox model**: Familiar CSS Flexbox properties
|
||||
- **Yoga engine**: Facebook's cross-platform layout engine
|
||||
- **Terminal units**: Dimensions are in character cells (columns x rows)
|
||||
- **Percentage support**: Relative sizing based on parent
|
||||
|
||||
## Flex Container Properties
|
||||
|
||||
### flexDirection
|
||||
|
||||
Controls the main axis direction:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Row (default) - children flow horizontally
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row">
|
||||
<text>1</text>
|
||||
<text>2</text>
|
||||
<text>3</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
// Output: 1 2 3
|
||||
|
||||
// Column - children flow vertically
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<text>1</text>
|
||||
<text>2</text>
|
||||
<text>3</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
// Output:
|
||||
// 1
|
||||
// 2
|
||||
// 3
|
||||
|
||||
// Reverse variants
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row-reverse">...</box> // 3 2 1
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column-reverse">...</box> // Bottom to top
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### justifyContent
|
||||
|
||||
Aligns children along the main axis:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={40} justifyContent="flex-start">
|
||||
{/* Children at start (left for row) */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={40} justifyContent="flex-end">
|
||||
{/* Children at end (right for row) */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={40} justifyContent="center">
|
||||
{/* Children centered */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={40} justifyContent="space-between">
|
||||
{/* First at start, last at end, rest evenly distributed */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={40} justifyContent="space-around">
|
||||
{/* Equal space around each child */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={40} justifyContent="space-evenly">
|
||||
{/* Equal space between all children and edges */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### alignItems
|
||||
|
||||
Aligns children along the cross axis:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" height={10} alignItems="flex-start">
|
||||
{/* Children at top */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" height={10} alignItems="flex-end">
|
||||
{/* Children at bottom */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" height={10} alignItems="center">
|
||||
{/* Children vertically centered */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" height={10} alignItems="stretch">
|
||||
{/* Children stretch to fill height */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" height={10} alignItems="baseline">
|
||||
{/* Children aligned by text baseline */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### flexWrap
|
||||
|
||||
Controls whether children wrap to new lines:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexWrap="nowrap" width={20}>
|
||||
{/* Children overflow (default) */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexWrap="wrap" width={20}>
|
||||
{/* Children wrap to next row */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexWrap="wrap-reverse" width={20}>
|
||||
{/* Children wrap upward */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### gap
|
||||
|
||||
Space between children:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={2}>
|
||||
<text>A</text>
|
||||
<text>B</text>
|
||||
<text>C</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
// Output: A B C (2 spaces between)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Flex Item Properties
|
||||
|
||||
### flexGrow
|
||||
|
||||
How much a child should grow relative to siblings:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={30}>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}><text>1</text></box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={2}><text>2</text></box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}><text>1</text></box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
// Widths: 7.5 | 15 | 7.5 (1:2:1 ratio)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### flexShrink
|
||||
|
||||
How much a child should shrink when space is limited:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width={20}>
|
||||
<box width={15} flexShrink={1}><text>Shrinks</text></box>
|
||||
<box width={15} flexShrink={0}><text>Fixed</text></box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### flexBasis
|
||||
|
||||
Initial size before growing/shrinking:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row">
|
||||
<box flexBasis={20} flexGrow={1}>Starts at 20, can grow</box>
|
||||
<box flexBasis="50%">Half of parent</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### alignSelf
|
||||
|
||||
Override parent's alignItems for this child:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" height={10} alignItems="center">
|
||||
<text>Centered</text>
|
||||
<text alignSelf="flex-start">Top</text>
|
||||
<text alignSelf="flex-end">Bottom</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixed Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box width={40} height={10}>
|
||||
{/* Exactly 40 columns by 10 rows */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Percentage Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
Parent must have explicit size:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
<box width="50%" height="50%">
|
||||
{/* Half of parent */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Min/Max Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
minWidth={20}
|
||||
maxWidth={60}
|
||||
minHeight={5}
|
||||
maxHeight={20}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{/* Constrained sizing */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Spacing
|
||||
|
||||
### Padding (inside)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// All sides
|
||||
<box padding={2}>Content</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Individual sides
|
||||
<box
|
||||
paddingTop={1}
|
||||
paddingRight={2}
|
||||
paddingBottom={1}
|
||||
paddingLeft={2}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Content
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Margin (outside)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// All sides
|
||||
<box margin={1}>Content</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Individual sides
|
||||
<box
|
||||
marginTop={1}
|
||||
marginRight={2}
|
||||
marginBottom={1}
|
||||
marginLeft={2}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Content
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Positioning
|
||||
|
||||
### Relative (default)
|
||||
|
||||
Element flows in normal document order:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box position="relative">
|
||||
{/* Normal flow */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Absolute
|
||||
|
||||
Element positioned relative to nearest positioned ancestor:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box position="relative" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
<box
|
||||
position="absolute"
|
||||
left={10}
|
||||
top={5}
|
||||
width={20}
|
||||
height={5}
|
||||
>
|
||||
Positioned at (10, 5)
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Position Properties
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
position="absolute"
|
||||
left={10} // From left edge
|
||||
top={5} // From top edge
|
||||
right={10} // From right edge
|
||||
bottom={5} // From bottom edge
|
||||
>
|
||||
Content
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Display
|
||||
|
||||
### Visibility Control
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Visible (default)
|
||||
<box display="flex">Visible</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Hidden (removed from layout)
|
||||
<box display="none">Hidden</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Overflow
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box overflow="visible">
|
||||
{/* Content can extend beyond bounds (default) */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box overflow="hidden">
|
||||
{/* Content clipped at bounds */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box overflow="scroll">
|
||||
{/* Scrollable when content exceeds bounds */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Z-Index
|
||||
|
||||
Control stacking order for overlapping elements:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box position="relative">
|
||||
<box position="absolute" zIndex={1}>Behind</box>
|
||||
<box position="absolute" zIndex={2}>In front</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```

# Layout Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Common layout recipes for terminal user interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
## Full-Screen App
|
||||
|
||||
Fill the entire terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
{/* Content fills terminal */}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Header/Content/Footer
|
||||
|
||||
Classic app layout:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function AppLayout() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
{/* Header - fixed height */}
|
||||
<box height={3} borderStyle="single" borderBottom>
|
||||
<text>Header</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Content - fills remaining space */}
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<text>Main Content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Footer - fixed height */}
|
||||
<box height={1}>
|
||||
<text>Status: Ready</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sidebar Layout
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function SidebarLayout() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
{/* Sidebar - fixed width */}
|
||||
<box width={25} borderStyle="single" borderRight>
|
||||
<text>Sidebar</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Main - fills remaining space */}
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<text>Main Content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Resizable Sidebar
|
||||
|
||||
Responsive based on terminal width:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function ResponsiveSidebar() {
|
||||
const dims = useTerminalDimensions() // React: useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
const showSidebar = dims.width > 60
|
||||
const sidebarWidth = Math.min(30, Math.floor(dims.width * 0.3))
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
{showSidebar && (
|
||||
<box width={sidebarWidth} border>
|
||||
<text>Sidebar</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<text>Main</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Centered Content
|
||||
|
||||
### Horizontally Centered
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box width="100%" justifyContent="center">
|
||||
<box width={40}>
|
||||
<text>Centered horizontally</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Vertically Centered
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box height="100%" alignItems="center">
|
||||
<text>Centered vertically</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Both Axes
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<box
|
||||
width="100%"
|
||||
height="100%"
|
||||
justifyContent="center"
|
||||
alignItems="center"
|
||||
>
|
||||
<box width={40} height={10} border>
|
||||
<text>Centered both ways</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Modal/Dialog
|
||||
|
||||
Centered overlay:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Modal({ children, visible }) {
|
||||
if (!visible) return null
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
position="absolute"
|
||||
left={0}
|
||||
top={0}
|
||||
width="100%"
|
||||
height="100%"
|
||||
justifyContent="center"
|
||||
alignItems="center"
|
||||
backgroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.5)"
|
||||
>
|
||||
<box
|
||||
width={50}
|
||||
height={15}
|
||||
border
|
||||
borderStyle="double"
|
||||
backgroundColor="#1a1a2e"
|
||||
padding={2}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Grid Layout
|
||||
|
||||
Using flexWrap:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Grid({ items, columns = 3 }) {
|
||||
const itemWidth = `${Math.floor(100 / columns)}%`
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexWrap="wrap" width="100%">
|
||||
{items.map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<box key={i} width={itemWidth} padding={1}>
|
||||
<text>{item}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Split Panels
|
||||
|
||||
### Horizontal Split
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function HorizontalSplit({ ratio = 0.5 }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
<box width={`${ratio * 100}%`} border>
|
||||
<text>Left Panel</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1} border>
|
||||
<text>Right Panel</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Vertical Split
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function VerticalSplit({ ratio = 0.5 }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
<box height={`${ratio * 100}%`} border>
|
||||
<text>Top Panel</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1} border>
|
||||
<text>Bottom Panel</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Form Layout
|
||||
|
||||
Label + Input pairs:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function FormField({ label, children }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" marginBottom={1}>
|
||||
<box width={15}>
|
||||
<text>{label}:</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function LoginForm() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" padding={2} border width={50}>
|
||||
<FormField label="Username">
|
||||
<input placeholder="Enter username" />
|
||||
</FormField>
|
||||
<FormField label="Password">
|
||||
<input placeholder="Enter password" />
|
||||
</FormField>
|
||||
<box marginTop={2} justifyContent="flex-end">

||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Navigation Tabs
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function TabBar({ tabs, activeIndex, onSelect }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" borderBottom>
|
||||
{tabs.map((tab, i) => (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
key={i}
|
||||
padding={1}
|
||||
backgroundColor={i === activeIndex ? "#333" : "transparent"}
|
||||
onMouseDown={() => onSelect(i)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text fg={i === activeIndex ? "#fff" : "#888"}>
|
||||
{tab}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sticky Footer
|
||||
|
||||
Footer always at bottom:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function StickyFooterLayout() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
{/* Content area */}
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1} flexDirection="column">
|
||||
{/* Your content here */}
|
||||
<text>Content that might be short</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
{/* Footer pushed to bottom */}
|
||||
<box height={1}>
|
||||
<text fg="#888">Press ? for help | q to quit</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Absolute Positioning Overlay
|
||||
|
||||
Tooltip or popup:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Tooltip({ x, y, children }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
position="absolute"
|
||||
left={x}
|
||||
top={y}
|
||||
border
|
||||
backgroundColor="#333"
|
||||
padding={1}
|
||||
zIndex={100}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Responsive Breakpoints
|
||||
|
||||
Different layouts based on terminal size:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function ResponsiveApp() {
|
||||
const { width, height } = useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
|
||||
// Define breakpoints
|
||||
const isSmall = width < 60
|
||||
const isMedium = width >= 60 && width < 100
|
||||
const isLarge = width >= 100
|
||||
|
||||
if (isSmall) {
|
||||
// Mobile-like: stacked layout
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<Navigation />
|
||||
<Content />
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (isMedium) {
|
||||
// Tablet-like: sidebar + content
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row">
|
||||
<box width={20}><Navigation /></box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}><Content /></box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Large: full layout
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row">
|
||||
<box width={25}><Navigation /></box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}><Content /></box>
|
||||
<box width={30}><Sidebar /></box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Equal Height Columns
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function EqualColumns() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" alignItems="stretch" height={20}>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1} border>
|
||||
<text>Short content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1} border>
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
Longer content that
|
||||
spans multiple lines
|
||||
and takes up space
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1} border>
|
||||
<text>Medium content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Spacing Utilities
|
||||
|
||||
Consistent spacing patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Spacer component
|
||||
function Spacer({ size = 1 }) {
|
||||
return <box height={size} width={size} />
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Divider component
|
||||
function Divider() {
|
||||
return <box height={1} width="100%" backgroundColor="#333" />
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<text>Section 1</text>
|
||||
<Spacer size={2} />
|
||||
<Divider />
|
||||
<Spacer size={2} />
|
||||
<text>Section 2</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Axis Shorthand Props
|
||||
|
||||
Use `paddingX`/`paddingY` and `marginX`/`marginY` for horizontal/vertical spacing:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Horizontal padding (left + right)
|
||||
<box paddingX={4}>
|
||||
<text>4 chars padding left and right</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Vertical padding (top + bottom)
|
||||
<box paddingY={2}>
|
||||
<text>2 lines padding top and bottom</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Horizontal margin for centering-like effect
|
||||
<box marginX={10}>
|
||||
<text>Indented content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Combined for card-like spacing
|
||||
<box paddingX={3} paddingY={1} marginY={1} border>
|
||||
<text>Nicely spaced card</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These are shorthand for:
|
||||
- `paddingX={n}` = `paddingLeft={n}` + `paddingRight={n}`
|
||||
- `paddingY={n}` = `paddingTop={n}` + `paddingBottom={n}`
|
||||
- `marginX={n}` = `marginLeft={n}` + `marginRight={n}`
|
||||
- `marginY={n}` = `marginTop={n}` + `marginBottom={n}`

# OpenTUI React (@opentui/react)
|
||||
|
||||
A React reconciler for building terminal user interfaces with familiar React patterns. Write TUIs using JSX, hooks, and component composition.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI React provides:
|
||||
- **Custom reconciler**: React components render to OpenTUI renderables
|
||||
- **JSX intrinsics**: `<text>`, `<box>`, `<input>`, etc.
|
||||
- **Hooks**: `useKeyboard`, `useRenderer`, `useTimeline`, etc.
|
||||
- **Full React compatibility**: useState, useEffect, context, and more
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use React
|
||||
|
||||
Use the React reconciler when:
|
||||
- You're familiar with React patterns
|
||||
- You want declarative UI composition
|
||||
- You need React's ecosystem (context, state management libraries)
|
||||
- Building applications with complex state
|
||||
- Team knows React already
|
||||
|
||||
## When NOT to Use React
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Use Instead |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Maximum performance critical | `@opentui/core` (imperative) |
|
||||
| Fine-grained reactivity | `@opentui/solid` |
|
||||
| Smallest bundle size | `@opentui/core` |
|
||||
| Building a framework/library | `@opentui/core` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bunx create-tui@latest -t react my-app
|
||||
cd my-app
|
||||
bun run src/index.tsx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI creates the `my-app` directory for you - it must **not already exist**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent guidance**: Always use autonomous mode with `-t <template>` flag. Never use interactive mode (`bunx create-tui@latest my-app` without `-t`) as it requires user prompts that agents cannot respond to.
|
||||
|
||||
Or manual setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir my-tui && cd my-tui
|
||||
bun init
|
||||
bun install @opentui/react @opentui/core react
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
import { createRoot } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border padding={2}>
|
||||
<text>Count: {count}</text>
|
||||
<box
|
||||
border
|
||||
onMouseDown={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text>Click me!</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
createRoot(renderer).render(<App />)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### JSX Elements
|
||||
|
||||
React maps JSX intrinsic elements to OpenTUI renderables:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// These are not HTML elements!
|
||||
<text>Hello</text> // TextRenderable
|
||||
<box border>Content</box> // BoxRenderable
|
||||
<input placeholder="..." /> // InputRenderable
|
||||
<select options={[...]} /> // SelectRenderable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Modifiers
|
||||
|
||||
Inside `<text>`, use modifier elements:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<strong>Bold</strong>, <em>italic</em>, and <u>underlined</u>
|
||||
<span fg="red">Colored text</span>
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
New line with <a href="https://example.com">link</a>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling
|
||||
|
||||
Two approaches to styling:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Direct props
|
||||
<box backgroundColor="blue" padding={2} border>
|
||||
<text fg="#00FF00">Green text</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// Style prop
|
||||
<box style={{ backgroundColor: "blue", padding: 2, border: true }}>
|
||||
<text style={{ fg: "#00FF00" }}>Green text</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Available Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout & Display
|
||||
- `<text>` - Styled text content
|
||||
- `<box>` - Container with borders and layout
|
||||
- `<scrollbox>` - Scrollable container
|
||||
- `<ascii-font>` - ASCII art text
|
||||
|
||||
### Input
|
||||
- `<input>` - Single-line text input
|
||||
- `<textarea>` - Multi-line text input
|
||||
- `<select>` - List selection
|
||||
- `<tab-select>` - Tab-based selection
|
||||
|
||||
### Code & Diff
|
||||
- `<code>` - Syntax-highlighted code
|
||||
- `<line-number>` - Code with line numbers
|
||||
- `<diff>` - Unified or split diff viewer
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Modifiers (inside `<text>`)
|
||||
- `<span>` - Inline styled text
|
||||
- `<strong>`, `<b>` - Bold
|
||||
- `<em>`, `<i>` - Italic
|
||||
- `<u>` - Underline
|
||||
- `<br>` - Line break
|
||||
- `<a>` - Link
|
||||
|
||||
## Essential Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import {
|
||||
useRenderer,
|
||||
useKeyboard,
|
||||
useOnResize,
|
||||
useTerminalDimensions,
|
||||
useTimeline,
|
||||
} from "@opentui/react"

|
||||
## Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
### createRoot(renderer)
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a React root for rendering.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
import { createRoot } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: false, // Handle Ctrl+C yourself
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const root = createRoot(renderer)
|
||||
root.render(<App />)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
### useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
Access the OpenTUI renderer instance.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useRenderer } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
import { useEffect } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
// Access renderer properties
|
||||
console.log(`Terminal: ${renderer.width}x${renderer.height}`)
|
||||
|
||||
// Show debug console
|
||||
renderer.console.show()
|
||||
|
||||
// Access theme mode (dark/light based on terminal settings)
|
||||
console.log(`Theme: ${renderer.themeMode}`) // "dark" | "light" | null

# React Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bunx create-tui@latest -t react my-app
|
||||
cd my-app && bun install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI creates the `my-app` directory for you - it must **not already exist**.
|
||||
|
||||
Options: `--no-git` (skip git init), `--no-install` (skip bun install)
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir my-tui && cd my-tui
|
||||
bun init
|
||||
bun install @opentui/react @opentui/core react
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## TypeScript Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### tsconfig.json
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"lib": ["ESNext", "DOM"],
|
||||
"target": "ESNext",
|
||||
"module": "NodeNext",
|
||||
"moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
|
||||
|
||||
"jsx": "react-jsx",
|
||||
"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/react",
|
||||
|
||||
"strict": true,
|
||||
"skipLibCheck": true,
|
||||
"noEmit": true,
|
||||
"types": ["bun-types"]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"include": ["src/**/*"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical settings:**
|
||||
- `jsx: "react-jsx"` - Use the new JSX transform
|
||||
- `jsxImportSource: "@opentui/react"` - Import JSX runtime from OpenTUI
|
||||
- `module` / `moduleResolution: "NodeNext"` - Recommended for OpenTUI compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
### Why DOM lib?
|
||||
|
||||
The `DOM` lib is needed for React types. OpenTUI's JSX types extend React's.
|
||||
|
||||
## Package Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### package.json
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-tui-app",
|
||||
"type": "module",
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"start": "bun run src/index.tsx",
|
||||
"dev": "bun --watch run src/index.tsx",
|
||||
"test": "bun test",
|
||||
"build": "bun build src/index.tsx --outdir=dist --target=bun"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"dependencies": {
|
||||
"@opentui/core": "latest",
|
||||
"@opentui/react": "latest",
|
||||
"react": ">=19.0.0"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"devDependencies": {
|
||||
"@types/bun": "latest",
|
||||
"@types/react": ">=19.0.0",
|
||||
"typescript": "latest"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-tui-app/
|
||||
├── src/
|
||||
│ ├── components/
|
||||
│ │ ├── Header.tsx
|
||||
│ │ ├── Sidebar.tsx
|
||||
│ │ └── MainContent.tsx
|
||||
│ ├── hooks/
|
||||
│ │ └── useAppState.ts
|
||||
│ ├── App.tsx
|
||||
│ └── index.tsx
|
||||
├── package.json
|
||||
└── tsconfig.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Entry Point (src/index.tsx)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
import { createRoot } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
import { App } from "./App"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
createRoot(renderer).render(<App />)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### App Component (src/App.tsx)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Header } from "./components/Header"
|
||||
import { Sidebar } from "./components/Sidebar"
|
||||
import { MainContent } from "./components/MainContent"
|
||||
|
||||
export function App() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
<Header />
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<Sidebar />
|
||||
<MainContent />
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Renderer Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### createCliRenderer Options
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer, ConsolePosition } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
// Rendering
|
||||
targetFPS: 60,
|
||||
|
||||
// Behavior
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: true, // Set false to handle Ctrl+C yourself
|
||||
autoFocus: true, // Auto-focus elements on click (default: true)
|
||||
useMouse: true, // Enable mouse support (default: true)
|
||||
|
||||
// Debug console
|
||||
consoleOptions: {
|
||||
position: ConsolePosition.BOTTOM,
|
||||
sizePercent: 30,
|
||||
startInDebugMode: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
// Cleanup
|
||||
onDestroy: () => {
|
||||
// Cleanup code
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Building for Distribution
|
||||
|
||||
### Bundling with Bun
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// build.ts
|
||||
await Bun.build({
|
||||
entrypoints: ["./src/index.tsx"],
|
||||
outdir: "./dist",
|
||||
target: "bun",
|
||||
minify: true,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `bun run build.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Executables
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// build.ts
|
||||
await Bun.build({
|
||||
entrypoints: ["./src/index.tsx"],
|
||||
outdir: "./dist",
|
||||
target: "bun",
|
||||
compile: {
|
||||
target: "bun-darwin-arm64", // or bun-linux-x64, etc.
|
||||
outfile: "my-app",
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.env` for development:
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
# Debug settings
|
||||
OTUI_SHOW_STATS=false
|
||||
SHOW_CONSOLE=false
|
||||
|
||||
# App settings
|
||||
API_URL=https://api.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Bun auto-loads `.env` files. Access via `process.env`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const apiUrl = process.env.API_URL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## React DevTools
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI React supports React DevTools for debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install DevTools as a dev dependency (must use version 7):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun add react-devtools-core@7 -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run DevTools standalone app:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx react-devtools@7
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Start your app with `DEV=true` environment variable:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DEV=true bun run src/index.tsx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Important**: Auto-connect to DevTools ONLY happens when `DEV=true` is set. Without this environment variable, the DevTools connection code is not loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI checks for `process.env["DEV"] === "true"` at startup. When true, it dynamically imports `react-devtools-core` and connects to the standalone DevTools app.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// src/test-utils.tsx
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
import { createRoot } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
export async function renderForTest(
|
||||
element: React.ReactElement,
|
||||
options = { width: 80, height: 24 }
|
||||
) {
|
||||
const testSetup = await createTestRenderer(options)
|
||||
createRoot(testSetup.renderer).render(element)
|
||||
return testSetup
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// src/components/Counter.test.tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { renderForTest } from "../test-utils"
|
||||
import { Counter } from "./Counter"
|
||||
|
||||
test("Counter renders initial value", async () => {
|
||||
const { snapshot } = await renderForTest(<Counter initialValue={5} />)
|
||||
expect(snapshot()).toContain("Count: 5")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### JSX Types Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure `jsxImportSource` is set:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"jsx": "react-jsx",
|
||||
"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/react"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### React Version Mismatch
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure React 19+:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun install react@19 @types/react@19
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Resolution Errors
|
||||
|
||||
Use `moduleResolution: "bundler"` for Bun compatibility.

# React Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical
|
||||
|
||||
### Never use `process.exit()` directly
|
||||
|
||||
**This is the most common mistake.** Using `process.exit()` leaves the terminal in a broken state (cursor hidden, raw mode, alternate screen).
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Terminal left in broken state
|
||||
process.exit(0)
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Use renderer.destroy()
|
||||
import { useRenderer } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
const handleExit = () => {
|
||||
renderer.destroy() // Cleans up and exits properly
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`renderer.destroy()` restores the terminal (exits alternate screen, restores cursor, etc.) before exiting.
|
||||
|
||||
### Signal Handling
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI automatically handles cleanup for these signals:
|
||||
- `SIGINT` (Ctrl+C), `SIGTERM`, `SIGQUIT` - Standard termination
|
||||
- `SIGHUP` - Terminal closed/hangup
|
||||
- `SIGBREAK` - Ctrl+Break (Windows)
|
||||
- `SIGPIPE` - Broken pipe (output closed)
|
||||
- `SIGBUS`, `SIGFPE` - Hardware errors
|
||||
|
||||
This ensures terminal state is restored even on unexpected termination. If you need custom signal handling, use `exitOnCtrlC: false` and handle signals yourself while still calling `renderer.destroy()`.
|
||||
|
||||
## JSX Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing jsxImportSource
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: JSX elements have wrong types, components don't render
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
// Error: Property 'text' does not exist on type 'JSX.IntrinsicElements'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Configure tsconfig.json:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"jsx": "react-jsx",
|
||||
"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/react"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### HTML Elements vs TUI Elements
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI's JSX elements are **not** HTML elements:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - These are HTML concepts
|
||||
<div>Not supported</div>
|
||||
<button>Not supported</button>
|
||||
<span>Only works inside <text></span>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - OpenTUI elements
|
||||
<box>Container</box>
|
||||
<text>Display text</text>
|
||||
<text><span>Inline styled</span></text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Modifiers Outside Text
|
||||
|
||||
Text modifiers only work inside `<text>`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<strong>This won't work</strong>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<strong>This works</strong>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
Components must be explicitly focused:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Won't receive keyboard input
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here..." />
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here..." focused />
|
||||
|
||||
// Or manage focus state
|
||||
const [isFocused, setIsFocused] = useState(true)
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here..." focused={isFocused} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Select Not Responding
|
||||
|
||||
Select requires focus and proper options format:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Missing required properties
|
||||
<select options={["a", "b", "c"]} />
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={[
|
||||
{ name: "Option A", description: "First option", value: "a" },
|
||||
{ name: "Option B", description: "Second option", value: "b" },
|
||||
]}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
console.log("Selected:", option.name)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
focused
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Select Events Confusion
|
||||
|
||||
Remember: `onSelect` fires on Enter (selection confirmed), `onChange` fires on navigation:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - expecting onChange to fire on Enter
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={options}
|
||||
onChange={(i, opt) => submitForm(opt)} // This fires on arrow keys!
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={options}
|
||||
onSelect={(i, opt) => submitForm(opt)} // Enter pressed - submit
|
||||
onChange={(i, opt) => showPreview(opt)} // Arrow keys - preview
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hook Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### useKeyboard Not Firing
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple `useKeyboard` hooks can conflict:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Both handlers fire - may cause issues
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => { /* parent handler */ })
|
||||
return <ChildWithKeyboard />
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function ChildWithKeyboard() {
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => { /* child handler */ })
|
||||
return <text>Child</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Use a single keyboard handler or implement event stopping:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const [handled, setHandled] = useState(false)
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (handled) {
|
||||
setHandled(false)
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Handle at app level
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <Child onKeyHandled={() => setHandled(true)} />
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### useEffect Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
Always clean up intervals and listeners:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Memory leak
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
setInterval(() => updateData(), 1000)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
const interval = setInterval(() => updateData(), 1000)
|
||||
return () => clearInterval(interval) // Cleanup!
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Styling Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Colors Not Applying
|
||||
|
||||
Check color format:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// CORRECT formats
|
||||
<text fg="#FF0000">Red</text>
|
||||
<text fg="red">Red</text>
|
||||
<box backgroundColor="#1a1a2e">Box</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<text fg="FF0000">Missing #</text>
|
||||
<text color="#FF0000">Wrong prop name (use fg)</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure parent has dimensions:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Parent has no height
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>Won't grow</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" height="100%">
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>Will grow</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Percentage Widths Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
Parent must have explicit dimensions:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<box width="50%">Won't work</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<box width="100%">
|
||||
<box width="50%">Works</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Too Many Re-renders
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid inline objects/functions in props:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - New object every render
|
||||
<box style={{ padding: 2 }}>Content</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// BETTER - Use direct props
|
||||
<box padding={2}>Content</box>
|
||||
|
||||
// OR memoize style objects
|
||||
const style = useMemo(() => ({ padding: 2 }), [])
|
||||
<box style={style}>Content</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Heavy Components
|
||||
|
||||
Use React.memo for expensive components:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const ExpensiveList = React.memo(function ExpensiveList({
|
||||
items
|
||||
}: {
|
||||
items: Item[]
|
||||
}) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
{items.map(item => (
|
||||
<text key={item.id}>{item.name}</text>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### State Updates During Render
|
||||
|
||||
Don't update state during render:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
function Component({ value }: { value: number }) {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
// This causes infinite loop!
|
||||
if (value > 10) {
|
||||
setCount(value)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>{count}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
function Component({ value }: { value: number }) {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
if (value > 10) {
|
||||
setCount(value)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, [value])
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>{count}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
### Console Not Visible
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI captures console output. Show the overlay:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useRenderer } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
import { useEffect } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
renderer.console.show()
|
||||
console.log("Now you can see this!")
|
||||
}, [renderer])
|
||||
|
||||
return <box>{/* ... */}</box>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Component Not Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
Check if component is in the tree:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Conditional returns nothing
|
||||
function MaybeComponent({ show }: { show: boolean }) {
|
||||
if (!show) return // Returns undefined!
|
||||
return <text>Visible</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
function MaybeComponent({ show }: { show: boolean }) {
|
||||
if (!show) return null // Explicit null
|
||||
return <text>Visible</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Events Not Firing
|
||||
|
||||
Check event handler names:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<box onClick={() => {}}>Click</box> // No onClick in TUI
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<box onMouseDown={() => {}}>Click</box>
|
||||
<box onMouseUp={() => {}}>Click</box>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Bun, Not Node
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# WRONG
|
||||
node src/index.tsx
|
||||
npm run start
|
||||
|
||||
# CORRECT
|
||||
bun run src/index.tsx
|
||||
bun run start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Async Top-level
|
||||
|
||||
Bun supports top-level await, but be careful:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// index.tsx - This works in Bun
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
createRoot(renderer).render(<App />)
|
||||
|
||||
// If you need to handle errors
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
createRoot(renderer).render(<App />)
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error("Failed to initialize:", error)
|
||||
process.exit(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Error Messages
|
||||
|
||||
### "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'root')"
|
||||
|
||||
Renderer not initialized:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
const renderer = createCliRenderer() // Missing await!
|
||||
createRoot(renderer).render(<App />)
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
createRoot(renderer).render(<App />)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Invalid hook call"
|
||||
|
||||
Hooks called outside component:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
const dimensions = useTerminalDimensions() // Outside component!
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
return <text>{dimensions.width}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const dimensions = useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
return <text>{dimensions.width}</text>
|
||||
}
|

# React Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## State Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Local State with useState
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={2}>
|
||||
<text>Count: {count}</text>
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={() => setCount(c => c - 1)}>
|
||||
<text>-</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>
|
||||
<text>+</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Complex State with useReducer
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useReducer } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
type State = {
|
||||
items: string[]
|
||||
selectedIndex: number
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type Action =
|
||||
| { type: "ADD_ITEM"; item: string }
|
||||
| { type: "REMOVE_ITEM"; index: number }
|
||||
| { type: "SELECT"; index: number }
|
||||
|
||||
function reducer(state: State, action: Action): State {
|
||||
switch (action.type) {
|
||||
case "ADD_ITEM":
|
||||
return { ...state, items: [...state.items, action.item] }
|
||||
case "REMOVE_ITEM":
|
||||
return {
|
||||
...state,
|
||||
items: state.items.filter((_, i) => i !== action.index),
|
||||
}
|
||||
case "SELECT":
|
||||
return { ...state, selectedIndex: action.index }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function ItemList() {
|
||||
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, {
|
||||
items: [],
|
||||
selectedIndex: 0,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Use state and dispatch...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Context for Global State
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createContext, useContext, useState, ReactNode } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
type Theme = "dark" | "light"
|
||||
|
||||
const ThemeContext = createContext<{
|
||||
theme: Theme
|
||||
setTheme: (theme: Theme) => void
|
||||
} | null>(null)
|
||||
|
||||
function ThemeProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
|
||||
const [theme, setTheme] = useState<Theme>("dark")
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<ThemeContext.Provider value={{ theme, setTheme }}>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</ThemeContext.Provider>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function useTheme() {
|
||||
const context = useContext(ThemeContext)
|
||||
if (!context) throw new Error("useTheme must be used within ThemeProvider")
|
||||
return context
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<ThemeProvider>
|
||||
<ThemedBox />
|
||||
</ThemeProvider>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function ThemedBox() {
|
||||
const { theme } = useTheme()
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box backgroundColor={theme === "dark" ? "#1a1a2e" : "#f0f0f0"}>
|
||||
<text fg={theme === "dark" ? "#fff" : "#000"}>
|
||||
Current theme: {theme}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus State
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||||
import { useKeyboard } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
function FocusableForm() {
|
||||
const [focusIndex, setFocusIndex] = useState(0)
|
||||
const fields = ["name", "email", "message"]
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusIndex(i => (i + 1) % fields.length)
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (key.shift && key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusIndex(i => (i - 1 + fields.length) % fields.length)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
|
||||
{fields.map((field, i) => (
|
||||
<input
|
||||
key={field}
|
||||
placeholder={`Enter ${field}...`}
|
||||
focused={i === focusIndex}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Ref-based Focus
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useRef, useEffect } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function AutoFocusInput() {
|
||||
const inputRef = useRef<any>(null)
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
// Focus on mount
|
||||
inputRef.current?.focus()
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return <input ref={inputRef} placeholder="Auto-focused" />
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
### Global Shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useKeyboard, useRenderer } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
// Quit on Escape or Ctrl+C - use renderer.destroy(), never process.exit()
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape" || (key.ctrl && key.name === "c")) {
|
||||
renderer.destroy()
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Toggle help on ?
|
||||
if (key.name === "?" || (key.shift && key.name === "/")) {
|
||||
setShowHelp(h => !h)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Vim-style navigation
|
||||
if (key.name === "j") moveDown()
|
||||
if (key.name === "k") moveUp()
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <box>{/* ... */}</box>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Component-level Shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Editor() {
|
||||
const [mode, setMode] = useState<"normal" | "insert">("normal")
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (mode === "normal") {
|
||||
if (key.name === "i") setMode("insert")
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") setMode("normal")
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") setMode("normal")
|
||||
// Handle text input in insert mode
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<text>Mode: {mode}</text>
|
||||
<textarea focused={mode === "insert"} />
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Form Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Controlled Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function LoginForm() {
|
||||
const [username, setUsername] = useState("")
|
||||
const [password, setPassword] = useState("")
|
||||
|
||||
const handleSubmit = () => {
|
||||
console.log("Login:", { username, password })
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1} padding={2} border>
|
||||
<text>Login</text>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={1}>
|
||||
<text>Username:</text>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={username}
|
||||
onChange={setUsername}
|
||||
width={20}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={1}>
|
||||
<text>Password:</text>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={password}
|
||||
onChange={setPassword}
|
||||
width={20}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={handleSubmit}>
|
||||
<text>Submit</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Form Validation
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function ValidatedForm() {
|
||||
const [email, setEmail] = useState("")
|
||||
const [error, setError] = useState("")
|
||||
|
||||
const validateEmail = (value: string) => {
|
||||
if (!value.includes("@")) {
|
||||
setError("Invalid email address")
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
setError("")
|
||||
}
|
||||
setEmail(value)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
|
||||
<input
|
||||
value={email}
|
||||
onChange={validateEmail}
|
||||
placeholder="Email"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
{error && <text fg="red">{error}</text>}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Responsive Design
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminal-size Responsive
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTerminalDimensions } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
function ResponsiveLayout() {
|
||||
const { width } = useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
|
||||
// Stack vertically on narrow terminals
|
||||
const isNarrow = width < 80
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection={isNarrow ? "column" : "row"}>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={isNarrow ? 0 : 1} height={isNarrow ? 10 : "100%"}>
|
||||
<text>Sidebar</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<text>Main Content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function DynamicGrid({ items }: { items: string[] }) {
|
||||
const { width } = useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
const columns = Math.max(1, Math.floor(width / 20))
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexWrap="wrap">
|
||||
{items.map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<box key={i} width={`${100 / columns}%`} padding={1}>
|
||||
<text>{item}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Async Data Loading
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading States
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useState, useEffect } from "react"
|
||||
|
||||
function DataDisplay() {
|
||||
const [data, setData] = useState<string[] | null>(null)
|
||||
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true)
|
||||
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null)
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
async function load() {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/data")
|
||||
const json = await response.json()
|
||||
setData(json.items)
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
setError(e instanceof Error ? e.message : "Unknown error")
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
setLoading(false)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
load()
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
if (loading) {
|
||||
return <text>Loading...</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (error) {
|
||||
return <text fg="red">Error: {error}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
{data?.map((item, i) => (
|
||||
<text key={i}>{item}</text>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Animation Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Simple Animations
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useState, useEffect } from "react"
|
||||
import { useTimeline } from "@opentui/react"
|
||||
|
||||
function ProgressBar() {
|
||||
const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline({ duration: 3000 })
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ value: 0 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
value: 100,
|
||||
duration: 3000,
|
||||
ease: "linear",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setProgress(Math.round(anim.targets[0].value))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
|
||||
<text>Progress: {progress}%</text>
|
||||
<box width={50} height={1} backgroundColor="#333">
|
||||
<box
|
||||
width={`${progress}%`}
|
||||
height={1}
|
||||
backgroundColor="#00ff00"
|
||||
/>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Interval-based Updates
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Clock() {
|
||||
const [time, setTime] = useState(new Date())
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
const interval = setInterval(() => {
|
||||
setTime(new Date())
|
||||
}, 1000)
|
||||
|
||||
return () => clearInterval(interval)
|
||||
}, [])
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>{time.toLocaleTimeString()}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Composition
|
||||
|
||||
### Render Props
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Focusable({
|
||||
children
|
||||
}: {
|
||||
children: (focused: boolean) => React.ReactNode
|
||||
}) {
|
||||
const [focused, setFocused] = useState(false)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box
|
||||
onMouseDown={() => setFocused(true)}
|
||||
onMouseUp={() => setFocused(false)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{children(focused)}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
<Focusable>
|
||||
{(focused) => (
|
||||
<text fg={focused ? "#00ff00" : "#ffffff"}>
|
||||
{focused ? "Focused!" : "Click me"}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</Focusable>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Higher-Order Components
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function withBorder<P extends object>(
|
||||
Component: React.ComponentType<P>,
|
||||
borderStyle: string = "single"
|
||||
) {
|
||||
return function BorderedComponent(props: P) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border borderStyle={borderStyle} padding={1}>
|
||||
<Component {...props} />
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
const BorderedText = withBorder(({ content }: { content: string }) => (
|
||||
<text>{content}</text>
|
||||
))
|
||||
|
||||
<BorderedText content="Hello!" />

# OpenTUI Solid (@opentui/solid)
|
||||
|
||||
A SolidJS reconciler for building terminal user interfaces with fine-grained reactivity. Get optimal performance with Solid's signal-based approach.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI Solid provides:
|
||||
- **Custom reconciler**: Solid components render to OpenTUI renderables
|
||||
- **JSX intrinsics**: `<text>`, `<box>`, `<input>`, etc.
|
||||
- **Hooks**: `useKeyboard`, `useRenderer`, `useTimeline`, etc.
|
||||
- **Fine-grained reactivity**: Only what changes re-renders
|
||||
- **Portal & Dynamic**: Advanced composition primitives
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Solid
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Solid reconciler when:
|
||||
- You want optimal re-rendering performance
|
||||
- You prefer signal-based reactivity
|
||||
- You need fine-grained control over updates
|
||||
- Building performance-critical applications
|
||||
- You already know SolidJS
|
||||
|
||||
## When NOT to Use Solid
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Use Instead |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Team knows React, not Solid | `@opentui/react` |
|
||||
| Maximum control needed | `@opentui/core` |
|
||||
| Smallest bundle size | `@opentui/core` |
|
||||
| Building a framework/library | `@opentui/core` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bunx create-tui@latest -t solid my-app
|
||||
cd my-app && bun install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI creates the `my-app` directory for you - it must **not already exist**.
|
||||
|
||||
Options: `--no-git` (skip git init), `--no-install` (skip bun install)
|
||||
|
||||
**Agent guidance**: Always use autonomous mode with `-t <template>` flag. Never use interactive mode (`bunx create-tui@latest my-app` without `-t`) as it requires user prompts that agents cannot respond to.
|
||||
|
||||
Or manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun install @opentui/solid @opentui/core solid-js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { render } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border padding={2}>
|
||||
<text>Count: {count()}</text>
|
||||
<box
|
||||
border
|
||||
onMouseDown={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text>Click me!</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
render(() => <App />)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
### Signals
|
||||
|
||||
Solid uses signals for reactive state:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createSignal, createEffect } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
// Effect runs when count changes
|
||||
createEffect(() => {
|
||||
console.log("Count is now:", count())
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Count: {count()}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### JSX Elements
|
||||
|
||||
Solid maps JSX intrinsic elements to OpenTUI renderables:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Note: Some use underscores (Solid convention)
|
||||
<text>Hello</text> // TextRenderable
|
||||
<box border>Content</box> // BoxRenderable
|
||||
<input placeholder="..." /> // InputRenderable
|
||||
<select options={[...]} /> // SelectRenderable
|
||||
<tab_select /> // TabSelectRenderable (underscore!)
|
||||
<ascii_font /> // ASCIIFontRenderable (underscore!)
|
||||
<line_number /> // LineNumberRenderable (underscore!)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Modifiers
|
||||
|
||||
Inside `<text>`, use modifier elements:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text>
|
||||
<strong>Bold</strong>, <em>italic</em>, and <u>underlined</u>
|
||||
<span fg="red">Colored text</span>
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
New line with <a href="https://example.com">link</a>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Available Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout & Display
|
||||
- `<text>` - Styled text content
|
||||
- `<box>` - Container with borders and layout
|
||||
- `<scrollbox>` - Scrollable container
|
||||
- `<ascii_font>` - ASCII art text (note underscore)
|
||||
|
||||
### Input
|
||||
- `<input>` - Single-line text input
|
||||
- `<textarea>` - Multi-line text input
|
||||
- `<select>` - List selection
|
||||
- `<tab_select>` - Tab-based selection (note underscore)
|
||||
|
||||
### Code & Diff
|
||||
- `<code>` - Syntax-highlighted code
|
||||
- `<line_number>` - Code with line numbers (note underscore)
|
||||
- `<diff>` - Unified or split diff viewer
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Modifiers (inside `<text>`)
|
||||
- `<span>` - Inline styled text
|
||||
- `<strong>`, `<b>` - Bold
|
||||
- `<em>`, `<i>` - Italic
|
||||
- `<u>` - Underline
|
||||
- `<br>` - Line break
|
||||
- `<a>` - Link
|
||||
|
||||
## Special Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Portal
|
||||
|
||||
Render children to a different mount node:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Portal } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function Overlay() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<Portal mount={renderer.root}>
|
||||
<box position="absolute" left={10} top={5} border>
|
||||
<text>Overlay content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</Portal>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic
|
||||
|
||||
Render components dynamically:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Dynamic } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function DynamicInput(props: { multiline: boolean }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<Dynamic
|
||||
component={props.multiline ? "textarea" : "input"}
|
||||
placeholder="Enter text..."
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

# Solid API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
### render(node, rendererOrConfig?)
|
||||
|
||||
Renders a Solid component tree into a CLI renderer.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { render } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
// Simple usage - creates renderer automatically
|
||||
render(() => <App />)
|
||||
|
||||
// With config
|
||||
render(() => <App />, {
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: false,
|
||||
targetFPS: 60,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// With existing renderer
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
render(() => <App />, renderer)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### testRender(node, options?)
|
||||
|
||||
Create a test renderer for snapshots and tests.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
const testSetup = await testRender(() => <App />, {
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Access test utilities
|
||||
testSetup.snapshot() // Get current render
|
||||
testSetup.renderer // Access renderer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### extend(components)
|
||||
|
||||
Register custom renderables as JSX intrinsic elements.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { extend } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { CustomRenderable } from "./custom"
|
||||
|
||||
extend({
|
||||
custom: CustomRenderable,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Now usable in JSX
|
||||
<custom prop="value" />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### getComponentCatalogue()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the current component catalogue.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { getComponentCatalogue } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
const catalogue = getComponentCatalogue()
|
||||
console.log(Object.keys(catalogue))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
### useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
Access the OpenTUI renderer instance.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useRenderer } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { onMount } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
onMount(() => {
|
||||
console.log(`Terminal: ${renderer.width}x${renderer.height}`)
|
||||
renderer.console.show()
|
||||
|
||||
// Access theme mode (dark/light based on terminal settings)
|
||||
console.log(`Theme: ${renderer.themeMode}`) // "dark" | "light" | null
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Hello</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Listen for theme mode changes
|
||||
function ThemedApp() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
const [theme, setTheme] = createSignal(renderer.themeMode ?? "dark")
|
||||
|
||||
onMount(() => {
|
||||
renderer.on("theme_mode", (mode: "dark" | "light") => setTheme(mode))
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box backgroundColor={theme() === "dark" ? "#1a1a2e" : "#ffffff"}>
|
||||
<text fg={theme() === "dark" ? "#fff" : "#000"}>
|
||||
Current theme: {theme()}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### useKeyboard(handler, options?)
|
||||
|
||||
Handle keyboard events.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useKeyboard, useRenderer } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy() // Never use process.exit() directly!
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.name === "s") {
|
||||
saveDocument()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Press ESC to exit</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// With release events
|
||||
function GameControls() {
|
||||
const [pressed, setPressed] = createSignal(new Set<string>())
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard(
|
||||
(event) => {
|
||||
setPressed(keys => {
|
||||
const newKeys = new Set(keys)
|
||||
if (event.eventType === "release") {
|
||||
newKeys.delete(event.name)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
newKeys.add(event.name)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return newKeys
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
{ release: true }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Pressed: {Array.from(pressed()).join(", ")}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### usePaste(handler)
|
||||
|
||||
Handle paste events. Receives a `PasteEvent` with raw bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { usePaste } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { decodePasteBytes } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
function PasteHandler() {
|
||||
usePaste((event) => {
|
||||
const text = decodePasteBytes(event.bytes)
|
||||
console.log("Pasted:", text)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Paste something</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### onResize(callback)
|
||||
|
||||
Handle terminal resize events.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { onResize } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
onResize((width, height) => {
|
||||
console.log(`Resized to ${width}x${height}`)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Resize the terminal</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
|
||||
Get reactive terminal dimensions.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTerminalDimensions } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function ResponsiveLayout() {
|
||||
const dimensions = useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection={dimensions().width > 80 ? "row" : "column"}>
|
||||
<text>Width: {dimensions().width}</text>
|
||||
<text>Height: {dimensions().height}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### onFocus(callback) / onBlur(callback)
|
||||
|
||||
Handle terminal window focus and blur events. Solid-only hooks.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { onFocus, onBlur } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
onFocus(() => {
|
||||
console.log("Terminal window gained focus")
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
onBlur(() => {
|
||||
console.log("Terminal window lost focus")
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>Focus/blur tracking</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These hooks fire when the terminal emulator window gains or loses operating system focus. The renderer deduplicates events (won't re-emit the same focus state).
|
||||
|
||||
### useSelectionHandler(handler)
|
||||
|
||||
Handle text selection events. Fires when the user finishes a mouse selection (mouse-up). Solid-only hook - React does not have this.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useSelectionHandler } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import type { Selection } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
function SelectableText() {
|
||||
const [selected, setSelected] = createSignal("")
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
useSelectionHandler((selection: Selection) => {
|
||||
const text = selection.getSelectedText()
|
||||
if (text) {
|
||||
setSelected(text)
|
||||
renderer.copyToClipboardOSC52(text)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<text selectable>Select this text with your mouse</text>
|
||||
<text fg="#888">Selected: {selected()}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `Selection` object aggregates selected text from all selectable renderables in the tree. See `keyboard/REFERENCE.md` (selection) for full details on the selection API and traversal model.
|
||||
|
||||
### useTimeline(options?)
|
||||
|
||||
Create animations with the timeline system.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTimeline } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { createSignal, onMount } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function AnimatedBox() {
|
||||
const [width, setWidth] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
loop: false,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
onMount(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ width: 0 },
|
||||
{
|
||||
width: 50,
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setWidth(Math.round(anim.targets[0].width))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <box style={{ width: width(), height: 3, backgroundColor: "#6a5acd" }} />
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Components
|
||||
|
||||
### Text Component
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<text
|
||||
content="Hello" // Or use children
|
||||
fg="#FFFFFF" // Foreground color
|
||||
bg="#000000" // Background color
|
||||
selectable={true} // Allow text selection
|
||||
>
|
||||
{/* Use nested modifier tags for styling */}
|
||||
<span fg="red">Red</span>
|
||||
<strong>Bold</strong>
|
||||
<em>Italic</em>
|
||||
<u>Underline</u>
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<a href="https://...">Link</a>
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||

</scrollbox>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

# Solid Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bunx create-tui@latest -t solid my-app
|
||||
cd my-app && bun install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI creates the `my-app` directory for you - it must **not already exist**.
|
||||
|
||||
Options: `--no-git` (skip git init), `--no-install` (skip bun install)
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir my-tui && cd my-tui
|
||||
bun init
|
||||
bun install @opentui/solid @opentui/core solid-js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## TypeScript Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### tsconfig.json
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"lib": ["ESNext"],
|
||||
"target": "ESNext",
|
||||
"module": "NodeNext",
|
||||
"moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
|
||||
|
||||
"jsx": "preserve",
|
||||
"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/solid",
|
||||
|
||||
"strict": true,
|
||||
"skipLibCheck": true,
|
||||
"noEmit": true,

},
|

"include": ["src/**/*"]
|

}
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical settings:**
|
||||
- `jsx: "preserve"` - Let Solid's compiler handle JSX
|
||||
- `jsxImportSource: "@opentui/solid"` - Import JSX runtime from OpenTUI Solid
|
||||
- `module` / `moduleResolution: "NodeNext"` - Recommended for OpenTUI compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
## Bun Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### bunfig.toml
|
||||
|
||||
**Required** for the Solid compiler:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
preload = ["@opentui/solid/preload"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This loads the Solid JSX transform before your code runs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Package Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### package.json
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-tui-app",
|
||||
"type": "module",
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"start": "bun run src/index.tsx",
|
||||
"dev": "bun --watch run src/index.tsx",
|
||||
"test": "bun test",
|
||||
"build": "bun run build.ts"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"dependencies": {
|
||||
"@opentui/core": "latest",
|
||||
"@opentui/solid": "latest",
|
||||
"solid-js": "latest"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"devDependencies": {
|
||||
"@types/bun": "latest",
|
||||
"typescript": "latest"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
### Entry Point (src/index.tsx)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { render } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { App } from "./App"
|
||||
|
||||
render(() => <App />)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### App Component (src/App.tsx)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Header } from "./components/Header"
|
||||
import { Sidebar } from "./components/Sidebar"
|
||||
import { MainContent } from "./components/MainContent"
|
||||
|
||||
export function App() {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" width="100%" height="100%">
|
||||
<Header />
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<Sidebar />
|
||||
<MainContent />
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Renderer Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### render() Options
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { render } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { ConsolePosition } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
render(() => <App />, {
|
||||
// Rendering
|
||||
targetFPS: 60,
|
||||
|
||||
// Behavior
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: true,
|
||||
autoFocus: true, // Auto-focus elements on click (default: true)
|
||||
useMouse: true, // Enable mouse support (default: true)
|
||||
|
||||
// Debug console
|
||||
consoleOptions: {
|
||||
position: ConsolePosition.BOTTOM,
|
||||
sizePercent: 30,
|
||||
startInDebugMode: false,
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
// Cleanup
|
||||
onDestroy: () => {
|
||||
// Cleanup code
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Existing Renderer
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { render } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer({
|
||||
exitOnCtrlC: false,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
render(() => <App />, renderer)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Building for Distribution
|
||||
|
||||
### Build Script (build.ts)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import solidPlugin from "@opentui/solid/bun-plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
await Bun.build({
|
||||
entrypoints: ["./src/index.tsx"],
|
||||
outdir: "./dist",
|
||||
target: "bun",
|
||||
minify: true,
|
||||
plugins: [solidPlugin],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
console.log("Build complete!")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `bun run build.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Executables
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import solidPlugin from "@opentui/solid/bun-plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
await Bun.build({
|
||||
entrypoints: ["./src/index.tsx"],
|
||||
target: "bun",
|
||||
plugins: [solidPlugin],
|
||||
compile: {
|
||||
target: "bun-darwin-arm64", // or bun-linux-x64, etc.
|
||||
outfile: "my-app",
|
||||
},
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Available targets:**
|
||||
- `bun-darwin-arm64` - macOS Apple Silicon
|
||||
- `bun-darwin-x64` - macOS Intel
|
||||
- `bun-linux-x64` - Linux x64
|
||||
- `bun-linux-arm64` - Linux ARM64
|
||||
- `bun-windows-x64` - Windows x64
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.env` for development:
|
||||
|
||||
```env
|
||||
# Debug settings
|
||||
OTUI_SHOW_STATS=false
|
||||
SHOW_CONSOLE=false
|
||||
|
||||
# App settings
|
||||
API_URL=https://api.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Bun auto-loads `.env` files:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const apiUrl = process.env.API_URL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// src/test-utils.tsx
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
export async function renderForTest(
|
||||
Component: () => JSX.Element,
|
||||
options = { width: 80, height: 24 }
|
||||
) {
|
||||
return await testRender(Component, options)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// src/components/Counter.test.tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { renderForTest } from "../test-utils"
|
||||
import { Counter } from "./Counter"
|
||||
|
||||
test("Counter renders initial value", async () => {
|
||||
const { snapshot } = await renderForTest(() => <Counter initialValue={5} />)
|
||||
expect(snapshot()).toContain("Count: 5")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Configuration Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing bunfig.toml
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: JSX not transformed, syntax errors
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Create `bunfig.toml` with preload:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
preload = ["@opentui/solid/preload"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrong JSX Settings
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: JSX compiles to React calls
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Ensure tsconfig has:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"jsx": "preserve",
|
||||
"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build Missing Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Built output has untransformed JSX
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Add Solid plugin to build:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import solidPlugin from "@opentui/solid/bun-plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
await Bun.build({
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
plugins: [solidPlugin],
|
||||
})
|
||||
```

# Solid Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical
|
||||
|
||||
### Never use `process.exit()` directly
|
||||
|
||||
**This is the most common mistake.** Using `process.exit()` leaves the terminal in a broken state (cursor hidden, raw mode, alternate screen).
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Terminal left in broken state
|
||||
process.exit(0)
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Use renderer.destroy()
|
||||
import { useRenderer } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
const handleExit = () => {
|
||||
renderer.destroy() // Cleans up and exits properly
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`renderer.destroy()` restores the terminal (exits alternate screen, restores cursor, etc.) before exiting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing bunfig.toml
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: JSX syntax errors, components not rendering
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Create `bunfig.toml` in project root:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
preload = ["@opentui/solid/preload"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrong JSX Settings
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: JSX compiles to React, errors about React not found
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Ensure tsconfig.json has:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"compilerOptions": {
|
||||
"jsx": "preserve",
|
||||
"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build Without Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Built bundle has raw JSX
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Add Solid plugin to build:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import solidPlugin from "@opentui/solid/bun-plugin"
|
||||
|
||||
await Bun.build({
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
plugins: [solidPlugin],
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Reactivity Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing Signals Without Calling
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Value never updates, shows `[Function]`
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Missing ()
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
<text>Count: {count}</text> // Shows [Function]
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<text>Count: {count()}</text>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Breaking Reactivity with Destructuring
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Props stop being reactive
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Breaks reactivity
|
||||
function Component(props: { value: number }) {
|
||||
const { value } = props // Destructured once, never updates!
|
||||
return <text>{value}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Keep props reactive
|
||||
function Component(props: { value: number }) {
|
||||
return <text>{props.value}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// OR use splitProps
|
||||
function Component(props: { value: number; other: string }) {
|
||||
const [local, rest] = splitProps(props, ["value"])
|
||||
return <text>{local.value}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Effects Not Running
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: createEffect doesn't trigger
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Signal not accessed in effect
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
createEffect(() => {
|
||||
console.log("Count changed") // Never runs after initial!
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Access the signal
|
||||
createEffect(() => {
|
||||
console.log("Count:", count()) // Runs when count changes
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## HTML Entity Decoding
|
||||
|
||||
Solid's reconciler automatically decodes HTML entities in JSX text content. This means `<`, `>`, `&`, etc. render as their literal characters:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// These render correctly in Solid
|
||||
<text>Use <box> for containers</text> // Displays: Use <box> for containers
|
||||
<text>A & B</text> // Displays: A & B
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This applies to text nodes, the `content` prop, and the `text` prop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Naming
|
||||
|
||||
### Underscore vs Hyphen
|
||||
|
||||
Solid uses underscores for multi-word component names:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - React-style naming
|
||||
<tab-select /> // Error!
|
||||
<ascii-font /> // Error!
|
||||
<line-number /> // Error!
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Solid naming
|
||||
<tab_select />
|
||||
<ascii_font />
|
||||
<line_number />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Component mapping:**
|
||||
| Concept | React | Solid |
|
||||
|---------|-------|-------|
|
||||
| Tab Select | `<tab-select>` | `<tab_select>` |
|
||||
| ASCII Font | `<ascii-font>` | `<ascii_font>` |
|
||||
| Line Number | `<line-number>` | `<line_number>` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus Not Working
|
||||
|
||||
Components need explicit focus:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here..." />
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<input placeholder="Type here..." focused />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Select Not Responding
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<select options={["a", "b"]} />
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={[
|
||||
{ name: "A", description: "Option A", value: "a" },
|
||||
{ name: "B", description: "Option B", value: "b" },
|
||||
]}
|
||||
onSelect={(index, option) => {
|
||||
// Called when Enter is pressed
|
||||
console.log("Selected:", option.name)
|
||||
}}
|
||||
focused
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Select Events Confusion
|
||||
|
||||
Remember: `onSelect` fires on Enter (selection confirmed), `onChange` fires on navigation:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - expecting onChange to fire on Enter
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={options()}
|
||||
onChange={(i, opt) => submitForm(opt)} // This fires on arrow keys!
|
||||
/>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<select
|
||||
options={options()}
|
||||
onSelect={(i, opt) => submitForm(opt)} // Enter pressed - submit
|
||||
onChange={(i, opt) => showPreview(opt)} // Arrow keys - preview
|
||||
/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Control Flow Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### For vs Index
|
||||
|
||||
Use `For` for arrays of objects, `Index` for primitives:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// For objects - item is reactive
|
||||
<For each={objects()}>
|
||||
{(obj) => <text>{obj.name}</text>}
|
||||
</For>
|
||||
|
||||
// For primitives - use Index, item() is reactive
|
||||
<Index each={strings()}>
|
||||
{(str, index) => <text>{index}: {str()}</text>}
|
||||
</Index>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Fallback
|
||||
|
||||
Show requires fallback for proper rendering:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// May cause issues
|
||||
<Show when={data()}>
|
||||
<Component />
|
||||
</Show>
|
||||
|
||||
// Better - explicit fallback
|
||||
<Show when={data()} fallback={<text>Loading...</text>}>
|
||||
<Component />
|
||||
</Show>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cleanup Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Forgetting onCleanup
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Memory leaks, multiple intervals running
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// WRONG - Interval never cleared
|
||||
function Timer() {
|
||||
const [time, setTime] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
setInterval(() => setTime(t => t + 1), 1000)
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>{time()}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
function Timer() {
|
||||
const [time, setTime] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const interval = setInterval(() => setTime(t => t + 1), 1000)
|
||||
onCleanup(() => clearInterval(interval))
|
||||
|
||||
return <text>{time()}</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Effect Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
createEffect(() => {
|
||||
const subscription = subscribe(data())
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG - No cleanup
|
||||
// subscription stays active
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
onCleanup(() => subscription.unsubscribe())
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Store Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Mutating Store Directly
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom**: Changes don't trigger updates
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const [state, setState] = createStore({ items: [] })
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG - Direct mutation
|
||||
state.items.push(newItem) // Won't trigger updates!
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT - Use setState
|
||||
setState("items", items => [...items, newItem])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Nested Updates
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const [state, setState] = createStore({
|
||||
user: { profile: { name: "John" } }
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
state.user.profile.name = "Jane"
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
setState("user", "profile", "name", "Jane")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
### Console Not Visible
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI captures console output:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useRenderer } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
import { onMount } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
onMount(() => {
|
||||
renderer.console.show()
|
||||
console.log("Now visible!")
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <box>{/* ... */}</box>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Tracking Reactivity
|
||||
|
||||
Use `createEffect` to debug:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
createEffect(() => {
|
||||
console.log("State:", {
|
||||
count: count(),
|
||||
items: items(),
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Bun
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# WRONG
|
||||
node src/index.tsx
|
||||
npm run start
|
||||
|
||||
# CORRECT
|
||||
bun run src/index.tsx
|
||||
bun run start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Async render()
|
||||
|
||||
The render function is async when creating a renderer:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// This is fine - Bun supports top-level await
|
||||
render(() => <App />)
|
||||
|
||||
// If you need the renderer
|
||||
import { createCliRenderer } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
import { render } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
const renderer = await createCliRenderer()
|
||||
render(() => <App />, renderer)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Error Messages
|
||||
|
||||
### "Cannot read properties of undefined"
|
||||
|
||||
Usually a missing reactive access:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Check if signal is being called
|
||||
<text>{count()}</text> // Note the ()
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if props are being accessed correctly
|
||||
<text>{props.value}</text> // Not destructured
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "JSX element has no corresponding closing tag"
|
||||
|
||||
Check component naming:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Wrong
|
||||
<tab-select></tab-select>
|
||||
|
||||
// Correct
|
||||
<tab_select></tab_select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "store is not a function"
|
||||
|
||||
Stores aren't called like signals:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const [store, setStore] = createStore({ count: 0 })
|
||||
|
||||
// WRONG
|
||||
<text>{store().count}</text>
|
||||
|
||||
// CORRECT
|
||||
<text>{store.count}</text>
|
||||
```

# Solid Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Reactive State
|
||||
|
||||
### Signals
|
||||
|
||||
Basic reactive state with signals:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="row" gap={2}>
|
||||
<text>Count: {count()}</text>
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={() => setCount(c => c - 1)}>
|
||||
<text>-</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>
|
||||
<text>+</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Derived State
|
||||
|
||||
Compute values from signals:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createSignal, createMemo } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function PriceCalculator() {
|
||||
const [quantity, setQuantity] = createSignal(1)
|
||||
const [price, setPrice] = createSignal(9.99)
|
||||
|
||||
// Derived value - only recalculates when dependencies change
|
||||
const total = createMemo(() => quantity() * price())
|
||||
const formatted = createMemo(() => `$${total().toFixed(2)}`)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<text>Quantity: {quantity()}</text>
|
||||
<text>Price: ${price()}</text>
|
||||
<text>Total: {formatted()}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Effects
|
||||
|
||||
React to state changes:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createSignal, createEffect, onCleanup } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function AutoSave() {
|
||||
const [content, setContent] = createSignal("")
|
||||
|
||||
createEffect(() => {
|
||||
const text = content()
|
||||
|
||||
// Debounced save
|
||||
const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
|
||||
saveToFile(text)
|
||||
}, 1000)
|
||||
|
||||
// Cleanup on next run or disposal
|
||||
onCleanup(() => clearTimeout(timeout))
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<textarea
|
||||
value={content()}
|
||||
onInput={setContent}
|
||||
placeholder="Auto-saves after 1 second..."
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Stores
|
||||
|
||||
### createStore for Complex State
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createStore } from "solid-js/store"
|
||||
|
||||
interface AppState {
|
||||
user: { name: string; email: string } | null
|
||||
items: Array<{ id: number; name: string; done: boolean }>
|
||||
settings: { theme: "dark" | "light" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const [state, setState] = createStore<AppState>({
|
||||
user: null,
|
||||
items: [],
|
||||
settings: { theme: "dark" },
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const addItem = (name: string) => {
|
||||
setState("items", items => [
|
||||
...items,
|
||||
{ id: Date.now(), name, done: false }
|
||||
])
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const toggleItem = (id: number) => {
|
||||
setState("items", item => item.id === id, "done", done => !done)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const setTheme = (theme: "dark" | "light") => {
|
||||
setState("settings", "theme", theme)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box backgroundColor={state.settings.theme === "dark" ? "#1a1a2e" : "#f0f0f0"}>
|
||||
<For each={state.items}>
|
||||
{(item) => (
|
||||
<text
|
||||
fg={item.done ? "#888" : "#fff"}
|
||||
onMouseDown={() => toggleItem(item.id)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{item.done ? "[x]" : "[ ]"} {item.name}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</For>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Store with Context
|
||||
|
||||
Share state across components:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createStore } from "solid-js/store"
|
||||
import { createContext, useContext, ParentComponent } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
interface Store {
|
||||
count: number
|
||||
items: string[]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type StoreContextValue = [
|
||||
Store,
|
||||
{
|
||||
increment: () => void
|
||||
addItem: (item: string) => void
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
const StoreContext = createContext<StoreContextValue>()
|
||||
|
||||
const StoreProvider: ParentComponent = (props) => {
|
||||
const [state, setState] = createStore<Store>({
|
||||
count: 0,
|
||||
items: [],
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const actions = {
|
||||
increment: () => setState("count", c => c + 1),
|
||||
addItem: (item: string) => setState("items", i => [...i, item]),
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<StoreContext.Provider value={[state, actions]}>
|
||||
{props.children}
|
||||
</StoreContext.Provider>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function useStore() {
|
||||
const context = useContext(StoreContext)
|
||||
if (!context) throw new Error("useStore must be used within StoreProvider")
|
||||
return context
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [state, { increment }] = useStore()
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box onMouseDown={increment}>
|
||||
<text>Count: {state.count}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Control Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Rendering with Show
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Show, createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function ToggleableContent() {
|
||||
const [visible, setVisible] = createSignal(false)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={() => setVisible(v => !v)}>
|
||||
<text>Toggle</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
|
||||
<Show
|
||||
when={visible()}
|
||||
fallback={<text fg="#888">Content is hidden</text>}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<text fg="#0f0">Content is visible!</text>
|
||||
</Show>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Lists with For
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { For, createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function TodoList() {
|
||||
const [todos, setTodos] = createSignal([
|
||||
{ id: 1, text: "Learn Solid", done: false },
|
||||
{ id: 2, text: "Build TUI", done: false },
|
||||
])
|
||||
|
||||
const toggle = (id: number) => {
|
||||
setTodos(todos =>
|
||||
todos.map(t =>
|
||||
t.id === id ? { ...t, done: !t.done } : t
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<For each={todos()}>
|
||||
{(todo) => (
|
||||
<box onMouseDown={() => toggle(todo.id)}>
|
||||
<text fg={todo.done ? "#888" : "#fff"}>
|
||||
{todo.done ? "[x]" : "[ ]"} {todo.text}
|
||||
</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</For>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Index for Primitive Arrays
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Index` when array items are primitives:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Index, createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
function StringList() {
|
||||
const [items, setItems] = createSignal(["apple", "banana", "cherry"])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<Index each={items()}>
|
||||
{(item, index) => (
|
||||
<text>{index}: {item()}</text>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</Index>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Switch/Match for Multiple Conditions
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { Switch, Match, createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
type Status = "idle" | "loading" | "success" | "error"
|
||||
|
||||
function StatusDisplay() {
|
||||
const [status, setStatus] = createSignal<Status>("idle")
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<Switch>
|
||||
<Match when={status() === "idle"}>
|
||||
<text>Ready</text>
|
||||
</Match>
|
||||
<Match when={status() === "loading"}>
|
||||
<text fg="#ff0">Loading...</text>
|
||||
</Match>
|
||||
<Match when={status() === "success"}>
|
||||
<text fg="#0f0">Success!</text>
|
||||
</Match>
|
||||
<Match when={status() === "error"}>
|
||||
<text fg="#f00">Error occurred</text>
|
||||
</Match>
|
||||
</Switch>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Focus State
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createSignal } from "solid-js"
|
||||
import { useKeyboard } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function FocusableForm() {
|
||||
const [focusIndex, setFocusIndex] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
const fields = ["name", "email", "message"]
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusIndex(i => (i + 1) % fields.length)
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (key.shift && key.name === "tab") {
|
||||
setFocusIndex(i => (i - 1 + fields.length) % fields.length)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection="column" gap={1}>
|
||||
<Index each={fields}>
|
||||
{(field, i) => (
|
||||
<input
|
||||
placeholder={`Enter ${field()}...`}
|
||||
focused={i === focusIndex()}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</Index>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
### Global Shortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useKeyboard } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function App() {
|
||||
const renderer = useRenderer()
|
||||
|
||||
useKeyboard((key) => {
|
||||
if (key.name === "escape") {
|
||||
renderer.destroy() // Never use process.exit() directly!
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (key.ctrl && key.name === "s") {
|
||||
save()
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Vim-style
|
||||
if (key.name === "j") moveDown()
|
||||
if (key.name === "k") moveUp()
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
return <box>{/* ... */}</box>
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Responsive Design
|
||||
|
||||
### Terminal-size Responsive
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTerminalDimensions } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function ResponsiveLayout() {
|
||||
const dims = useTerminalDimensions()
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box flexDirection={dims().width > 80 ? "row" : "column"}>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<text>Panel 1</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
<box flexGrow={1}>
|
||||
<text>Panel 2</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)

const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/data")
|
||||
return response.json()
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function DataDisplay() {
|
||||
const [data] = createResource(fetchData)
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<Suspense fallback={<text>Loading...</text>}>
|
||||
<Show when={data()}>
|
||||
{(items) => (
|
||||
<For each={items()}>
|
||||
{(item) => <text>{item.name}</text>}
|
||||
</For>
|
||||
)}
|
||||
</Show>
|
||||
</Suspense>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Handling

||||
</Show>
|
||||
</Show>
|
||||
</ErrorBoundary>
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Composition
|
||||
|
||||
### Props and Children
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { ParentComponent, JSX } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
interface PanelProps {
|
||||
title: string
|
||||
children: JSX.Element
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const Panel: ParentComponent<{ title: string }> = (props) => {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border padding={1} flexDirection="column">
|
||||
<text fg="#0ff">{props.title}</text>
|
||||
<box marginTop={1}>
|
||||
{props.children}
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage
|
||||
<Panel title="Settings">
|
||||
<text>Panel content here</text>
|
||||
</Panel>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Spread Props
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { splitProps } from "solid-js"
|
||||
|
||||
interface ButtonProps {
|
||||
label: string
|
||||
onClick: () => void
|
||||
// ...rest goes to box
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function Button(props: ButtonProps) {
|
||||
const [local, rest] = splitProps(props, ["label", "onClick"])
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box border onMouseDown={local.onClick} {...rest}>
|
||||
<text>{local.label}</text>
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Animation
|
||||
|
||||
### With Timeline
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { createSignal, onMount } from "solid-js"
|
||||
import { useTimeline } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function AnimatedProgress() {
|
||||
const [width, setWidth] = createSignal(0)
|
||||
|
||||
const timeline = useTimeline({
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
onMount(() => {
|
||||
timeline.add(
|
||||
{ value: 0 },
|

{
|
||||
value: 50,
|
||||
duration: 2000,
|
||||
ease: "easeOutQuad",
|
||||
onUpdate: (anim) => {
|
||||
setWidth(Math.round(anim.targets[0].value))
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||

# Testing OpenTUI Applications
|
||||
|
||||
How to test terminal user interfaces built with OpenTUI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI provides:
|
||||
- **Test Renderer**: Headless renderer for testing
|
||||
- **Snapshot Testing**: Verify visual output
|
||||
- **Interaction Testing**: Simulate user input
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
Use this reference when you need snapshot tests, interaction testing, or renderer-based regression checks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Bun Test Runner
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTUI uses Bun's built-in test runner:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect, beforeEach, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Renderer
|
||||
|
||||
Create a test renderer for headless testing:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
|
||||
const testSetup = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 80, // Terminal width
|
||||
height: 24, // Terminal height
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Test
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
import { TextRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
test("renders text", async () => {
|
||||
const testSetup = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const text = new TextRenderable(testSetup.renderer, {
|
||||
id: "greeting",
|
||||
content: "Hello, World!",
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.root.add(text)
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(testSetup.captureCharFrame()).toContain("Hello, World!")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Snapshot Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
import { BoxRenderable, TextRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof createTestRenderer>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("component matches snapshot", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const box = new BoxRenderable(testSetup.renderer, {
|
||||
id: "box",
|
||||
border: true,
|
||||
width: 20,
|
||||
height: 5,
|
||||
})
|
||||
box.add(new TextRenderable(testSetup.renderer, {
|
||||
content: "Content",
|
||||
}))
|
||||
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.root.add(box)
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(testSetup.captureCharFrame()).toMatchSnapshot()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## React Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Utilities
|
||||
|
||||
React provides a built-in `testRender` utility via the `@opentui/react/test-utils` subpath export:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This utility:
|
||||
- Creates a headless test renderer
|
||||
- Sets up the React Act environment automatically
|
||||
- Handles proper unmounting on destroy
|
||||
- Returns the standard test setup object
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Component Test
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
|
||||
function Greeting({ name }: { name: string }) {
|
||||
return <text>Hello, {name}!</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
test("Greeting renders name", async () => {
|
||||
const testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<Greeting name="World" />,
|
||||
{ width: 80, height: 24 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain("Hello, World!")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Snapshot Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof testRender>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("component matches snapshot", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<box style={{ width: 20, height: 5, border: true }}>
|
||||
<text>Content</text>
|
||||
</box>,
|
||||
{ width: 25, height: 8 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(frame).toMatchSnapshot()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### State Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof testRender>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
function Counter() {
|
||||
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<box>
|
||||
<text>Count: {count}</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
test("Counter shows initial value", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<Counter />,
|
||||
{ width: 20, height: 5 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain("Count: 0")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Setup/Teardown Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
For multiple tests, use beforeEach/afterEach to manage the renderer lifecycle:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { describe, test, expect, beforeEach, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof testRender>>
|
||||
|
||||
describe("MyComponent", () => {
|
||||
beforeEach(async () => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("renders correctly", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(<MyComponent />, {
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
expect(frame).toMatchSnapshot()
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Setup Return Object
|
||||
|
||||
The `testRender` function returns a test setup object with these properties:
|
||||
|
||||
| Property | Type | Description |
|
||||
|----------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `renderer` | `Renderer` | The headless renderer instance |
|
||||
| `renderOnce` | `() => Promise<void>` | Triggers a single render cycle |
|
||||
| `captureCharFrame` | `() => string` | Captures current output as text |
|
||||
| `resize` | `(width, height) => void` | Resize the virtual terminal |
|
||||
|
||||
## Solid Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Utilities
|
||||
|
||||
Solid exports `testRender` directly from the main package:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Unlike React, Solid's `testRender` takes a **function component** (not a JSX element).
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Component Test
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
function Greeting(props: { name: string }) {
|
||||
return <text>Hello, {props.name}!</text>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
test("Greeting renders name", async () => {
|
||||
const testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
() => <Greeting name="World" />,
|
||||
{ width: 80, height: 24 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain("Hello, World!")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Snapshot Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/solid"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof testRender>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("component matches snapshot", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
() => (
|
||||
<box style={{ width: 20, height: 5, border: true }}>
|
||||
<text>Content</text>
|
||||
</box>
|
||||
),
|
||||
{ width: 25, height: 8 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(frame).toMatchSnapshot()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Snapshot Format
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshots capture the rendered terminal output as text:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌──────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Hello, World! │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
└──────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating Snapshots
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun test --update-snapshots
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Simulating Key Presses
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof createTestRenderer>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("responds to keyboard", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Create component that responds to keys
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
|
||||
// Simulate keypress
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.keyInput.emit("keypress", {
|
||||
name: "enter",
|
||||
sequence: "\r",
|
||||
ctrl: false,
|
||||
shift: false,
|
||||
meta: false,
|
||||
option: false,
|
||||
eventType: "press",
|
||||
repeated: false,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Render after the keypress
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(testSetup.captureCharFrame()).toContain("Selected")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Focus
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { createTestRenderer } from "@opentui/core/testing"
|
||||
import { InputRenderable } from "@opentui/core"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof createTestRenderer>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("input receives focus", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 40,
|
||||
height: 10,
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
const input = new InputRenderable(testSetup.renderer, {
|
||||
id: "test-input",
|
||||
placeholder: "Type here",
|
||||
})
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.root.add(input)
|
||||
|
||||
input.focus()
|
||||
|
||||
expect(input.isFocused()).toBe(true)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Organization
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/
|
||||
├── components/
|
||||
│ ├── Button.tsx
|
||||
│ └── Button.test.tsx
|
||||
├── hooks/
|
||||
│ ├── useCounter.ts
|
||||
│ └── useCounter.test.ts
|
||||
└── test-utils.tsx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run all tests
|
||||
bun test
|
||||
|
||||
# Run specific test file
|
||||
bun test src/components/Button.test.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with filter
|
||||
bun test --filter "Button"
|
||||
|
||||
# Watch mode
|
||||
bun test --watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Conditional Rendering (React)
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { test, expect, afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof testRender>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("shows loading state", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<DataLoader loading={true} />,
|
||||
{ width: 40, height: 10 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
expect(testSetup.captureCharFrame()).toContain("Loading...")
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("shows data when loaded", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<DataLoader loading={false} data={["Item 1", "Item 2"]} />,
|
||||
{ width: 40, height: 10 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain("Item 1")
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain("Item 2")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Lists
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
test("renders all items", async () => {
|
||||
const items = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]
|
||||
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<ItemList items={items} />,
|
||||
{ width: 40, height: 10 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
items.forEach(item => {
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain(item)
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
test("matches layout snapshot", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<AppLayout />,
|
||||
{ width: 120, height: 40 } // Larger viewport
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
expect(testSetup.captureCharFrame()).toMatchSnapshot()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Debugging Tests
|
||||
|
||||
### Print Frame Output
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { testRender } from "@opentui/react/test-utils"
|
||||
|
||||
test("debug output", async () => {
|
||||
const testSetup = await testRender(
|
||||
<MyComponent />,
|
||||
{ width: 40, height: 10 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce()
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
|
||||
// Print to see what's rendered
|
||||
console.log(frame)
|
||||
|
||||
expect(frame).toContain("expected")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Verbose Mode
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bun test --verbose
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
### Async Rendering
|
||||
|
||||
Always call `renderOnce()` after setting up your component to ensure rendering is complete:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const testSetup = await testRender(<MyComponent />, { width: 40, height: 10 })
|
||||
await testSetup.renderOnce() // Required before capturing frame
|
||||
const frame = testSetup.captureCharFrame()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Isolation and Cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
Always destroy the renderer after each test to avoid resource leaks:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { afterEach } from "bun:test"
|
||||
|
||||
let testSetup: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof testRender>>
|
||||
|
||||
afterEach(() => {
|
||||
if (testSetup) {
|
||||
testSetup.renderer.destroy()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("test 1", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(<Component1 />, { width: 40, height: 10 })
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
test("test 2", async () => {
|
||||
testSetup = await testRender(<Component2 />, { width: 40, height: 10 })
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Snapshot Dimensions
|
||||
|
||||
Be consistent with test dimensions for stable snapshots:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const testSetup = await createTestRenderer({
|
||||
width: 80, // Standard width
|
||||
height: 24, // Standard height
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running from Package Directory
|
||||
|
||||
Run tests from the package directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd packages/core
|
||||
bun test
|
||||
|
||||
# Not from repo root for package-specific tests
|
||||
```

# CLI Release
|
||||
|
||||
Use this skill when the user asks to release the CLI, publish `cline`, bump the CLI version, draft release notes, create a `cli-vX.Y.Z` tag, or trigger the CLI publish workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI is npm-only. Do not add alternate distribution or signing steps.
|
||||
|
||||
> Working directory: run every command below from the repository root. Paths and scripts (e.g. `apps/cli/package.json`, `sdk/packages/`, `bun release cli`, `bun run version`) are written relative to the repo root.
|
||||
|
||||
The skill should guide the user through one release preparation flow, then offer the publish path options. The two normal publish paths are GitHub Actions and local publishing from an authenticated machine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Release contract
|
||||
|
||||
- SDK prerequisite: the CLI depends on the SDK via `workspace:*` (`@cline/core`, `@cline/shared`, and friends). If the SDK changed since its last release, release the SDK first and wait for it to finish publishing before releasing the CLI. See "Step 0: Release the SDK first if it changed" below.
|
||||
- Version source: `apps/cli/package.json`.
|
||||
- Main release tag: `cli-vX.Y.Z`, where `X.Y.Z` matches `apps/cli/package.json`.
|
||||
- Nightly release version: `X.Y.Z-nightly.TIMESTAMP`.
|
||||
- Release prep includes approved release notes, a version bump, and an `apps/cli/CHANGELOG.md` update.
|
||||
- Publish paths:
|
||||
- GitHub workflow: `.github/workflows/cli-publish.yml`.
|
||||
- Local publish helper: `bun release cli`.
|
||||
- npm dist-tags and git tags are separate. `--tag latest` and `--tag nightly` are npm registry channels. `cli-vX.Y.Z` is a git tag for source history and GitHub releases.
|
||||
- The GitHub main release workflow runs from `main`, requires an existing `cli-vX.Y.Z` tag, checks out that tag, and publishes from it.
|
||||
- The GitHub nightly workflow publishes to npm with the `nightly` dist-tag and does not create a tag.
|
||||
- The local release helper requires a clean checkout and `cli-vX.Y.Z` to point at `HEAD` locally and on `origin` before publishing.
|
||||
- Local GitHub release creation requires `gh` to be authenticated with release permissions for the repo.
|
||||
- Always ask before pushing commits or tags.
|
||||
- Do not amend commits unless explicitly requested.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 0: Release the SDK first if it changed
|
||||
|
||||
Do this before anything else in the Workflow below.
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI builds and ships against the SDK source in the monorepo (`workspace:*` for `@cline/core`, `@cline/shared`, and the rest), so a CLI release always contains the latest SDK code whether or not the SDK was released. The build and tests use that source too, not anything from npm. Releasing the SDK alongside the CLI is still worth doing for two reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
- Hub freshness. The hub daemon lives in `@cline/core` and stamps a `buildId` that defaults to the `@cline/core` package version (`resolveHubBuildId` in `sdk/packages/core/src/hub/discovery/index.ts`). A running hub is only retired and respawned when that `buildId` changes (`isCompatibleHubRecord` / `retireIncompatibleHub` in `sdk/packages/core/src/hub/daemon/index.ts`). So if the SDK code changed but the version did not, a user who upgrades the CLI keeps talking to their already-running hub, which is still executing the old SDK code. Bumping the SDK version makes the new CLI's `buildId` differ, so the stale hub is detected as incompatible and respawned with the fresh code.
|
||||
- Release hygiene. We want regular SDK releases; cutting one whenever we cut a CLI release keeps the published SDK in step with what the CLI ships.
|
||||
|
||||
So when the SDK has changed, release it first (which bumps the `@cline/core` version), then cut the CLI release on top of that bump. Leave the CLI's SDK dependency as `workspace:*` — the fix is to release the SDK, not to pin the CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check for unreleased SDK changes.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git fetch origin --tags
|
||||
git tag --list 'sdk/sdk/v*' 'sdk-v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -1
|
||||
git log <last-sdk-tag>..origin/main --oneline --no-merges -- sdk/packages
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`sdk/<pkg>/v*` tags are created by the `sdk-publish.yml` workflow; `sdk-v*` tags are created by the local `bun release sdk` helper. Use whichever is newest as the baseline.
|
||||
|
||||
If `git log` prints no commits, the SDK is already up to date. Skip the rest of Step 0 and continue with the Workflow below.
|
||||
|
||||
If it prints commits, sanity-check the diff (ignore entries that are only the previous version-bump commit's lockfile or generated files), then release the SDK.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Decide the SDK version bump.
|
||||
|
||||
All SDK packages share one version, read from `sdk/packages/llms/package.json`. Ask whether this is patch, minor, major, or an explicit version. Patch is the default. Do not guess if the user has not made it clear.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Draft the SDK release notes and update the changelog.
|
||||
|
||||
Draft user-facing notes from the SDK commits found in step 1, translating commit messages into user-facing language (same approach as the CLI release notes below). Prepend a new `## <version>` section with those notes to the top of `sdk/CHANGELOG.md`, using the header format `## <version>` with no date — the same flat, newest-on-top format as `apps/cli/CHANGELOG.md`. This is the SDK changelog (all SDK packages share one version) and it is maintained by hand; the `sdk-publish.yml` workflow does not read it.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Bump versions and regenerate.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun run version <version>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This bumps every SDK `package.json` to the new version, regenerates the lockfile and the generated model catalog, formats, and builds. Review the result.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Commit and push the bump to `main`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `sdk-publish.yml` workflow publishes the version that is committed on `main` and tags that commit, so the bump must land on `main` before the workflow runs.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git add -A
|
||||
git commit -m "chore(sdk): release v<version>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ask before pushing:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git push origin HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. Trigger the SDK publish workflow on the `latest` channel.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh workflow run sdk-publish.yml -f channel=latest -f confirm_publish=publish
|
||||
gh run list --workflow=sdk-publish.yml --limit=1 --json databaseId,url,status,createdAt --jq '.[0]'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow runs the SDK tests, publishes `@cline/shared`, `@cline/llms`, `@cline/agents`, `@cline/core`, and `@cline/sdk` to npm with the `latest` dist-tag in dependency order, and pushes `sdk/<pkg>/v<version>` git tags.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Wait for the SDK workflow to succeed before starting the CLI release.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh run watch <run-id> --exit-status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Do not start the CLI release until this run has finished successfully. The CLI does not install the SDK from npm, but cutting the CLI release on top of a clean, completed SDK release keeps the two in step: the CLI release commit then sits on top of the `@cline/core` version bump, so the shipped CLI carries the new version that forces a running hub to respawn with the new code, and you are not building a CLI release on top of an SDK release that failed midway.
|
||||
|
||||
After the SDK release succeeds, pull `main` so the CLI release is prepared on top of the SDK version bump:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then continue with the Workflow below.
|
||||
|
||||
For a local SDK publish from an authenticated machine instead of the workflow, `bun release sdk <version>` exists, but prefer the `sdk-publish.yml` workflow for normal releases so the CLI release can gate on a single GitHub Actions run.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Complete Step 0 first. Only proceed once the SDK is released (or you confirmed no SDK release was needed).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Gather context.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git status --short --branch
|
||||
git fetch origin --tags
|
||||
git tag --list 'cli-v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -10
|
||||
node -p "require('./apps/cli/package.json').version"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Find the latest CLI tag. If there is no `cli-v*` tag, use the first relevant CLI release commit as the baseline and say that the baseline is inferred.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Collect release commits.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git log <last-cli-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges -- apps/cli sdk/packages sdk/scripts .github/workflows/cli-publish.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `sdk/packages` commits matter here even though the SDK was released separately in Step 0: the CLI bundles the SDK, so SDK changes ship in this CLI release too. Read those commits and fold anything user-relevant to the CLI into the release notes (provider/model updates, behavior changes, fixes the CLI inherits). Skip SDK changes that are purely internal or have no CLI-visible effect.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Draft user-facing release notes.
|
||||
|
||||
Include user-facing features, fixes, behavior changes, compatibility changes, and notable install or release changes. Exclude pure refactors, tests, style, chores, and internal file moves unless they matter to users.
|
||||
|
||||
Write a flat bullet list. Translate commit messages into user-facing language. If a commit is unclear, read the full commit before summarizing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Present the draft and wait for approval before editing files.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Decide the version bump.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether this should be patch, minor, major, or an explicit version. Do not guess if the user has not made it clear.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update release files.
|
||||
|
||||
Update `apps/cli/package.json` to the approved version.
|
||||
|
||||
Prepend a section to `apps/cli/CHANGELOG.md` for the approved version using the approved release notes. Use the header format `## X.Y.Z` with no date. The publish workflow extracts the top section of the changelog by matching `^## [0-9]` and pastes it verbatim into the GitHub release body and the Slack release announcement, so the section content is the release notes that get shipped.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Verify before committing.
|
||||
|
||||
Run focused checks first:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun -F @cline/cli typecheck
|
||||
bun -F @cline/cli test:unit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For higher confidence, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun run types
|
||||
bun --cwd apps/cli run build:platforms:single
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the user wants full release confidence before tagging, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun run test
|
||||
bun --cwd apps/cli run build:platforms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Known local-only test failure: `src/commands/distribution-package.test.ts > rejects direct source package packing by default` will fail on machines that have `ignore-scripts=true` in `~/.npmrc` (set by the npm supply-chain hardening guide). Bun reads npm's `ignore-scripts` from `~/.npmrc`, so `bun pm pack --dry-run` skips the source-publish `prepack` guard and exits 0, which the test reads as a failure. CI does not set `ignore-scripts`, so the test passes there. Confirm by running `bun pm pack --dry-run` directly: with `~/.npmrc` in place it exits 0 with no guard output; with `~/.npmrc` moved aside it exits 1 and prints the guard message. This is not a release blocker by itself, but it does mean the local-publish path (`bun release cli`) will also bypass the source-publish guard on this machine; prefer the GitHub Actions publish path on machines with `ignore-scripts=true` set globally, or temporarily unset it (`npm config delete ignore-scripts` or `mv ~/.npmrc ~/.npmrc.bak`) for the duration of a local publish.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Commit release changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Only after the user approves the notes and version:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git add apps/cli/package.json apps/cli/CHANGELOG.md
|
||||
git commit -m "chore(cli): release vX.Y.Z"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ask before pushing the release commit:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git push origin HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For the GitHub main release path, ask before creating and pushing the release tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git tag -a cli-vX.Y.Z -m "CLI vX.Y.Z"
|
||||
git push origin refs/tags/cli-vX.Y.Z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
8. Publish.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user which path to use:
|
||||
|
||||
- GitHub main release. Use this after the release commit is on `main` and the matching `cli-vX.Y.Z` tag has been pushed. The workflow publishes to npm from that tag, creates the GitHub release, and posts to Slack.
|
||||
- Local release. Use this when the user wants to publish from this machine. The local machine must be authenticated to npm and GitHub.
|
||||
- GitHub nightly release.
|
||||
- Stop after the version commit.
|
||||
|
||||
For GitHub main release:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh workflow run cli-publish.yml -f publish_target=main -f git_tag=cli-vX.Y.Z -f confirm_publish=publish
|
||||
gh run list --workflow=cli-publish.yml --limit=1 --json url,status,conclusion,createdAt --jq '.[0]'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For GitHub nightly release:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh workflow run cli-publish.yml -f publish_target=nightly
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For forced GitHub nightly release:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh workflow run cli-publish.yml -f publish_target=nightly -f force_nightly_publish=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For local publish:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh auth status
|
||||
npm whoami
|
||||
git tag -a cli-vX.Y.Z -m "CLI vX.Y.Z"
|
||||
git push origin refs/tags/cli-vX.Y.Z
|
||||
bun release cli
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After a successful local publish, ask before running:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh release create cli-vX.Y.Z --verify-tag --title "CLI vX.Y.Z" --notes "Paste the approved release notes here."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If publishing with another npm dist-tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun release cli --tag next
|
||||
```

description: Use when preparing, tagging, and publishing a Cline Code desktop app (apps/examples/desktop-app) release. Guides changelog drafting, version bumps in package.json + tauri.conf.json, desktop-vX.Y.Z tags, and the desktop-publish GitHub workflow that builds, signs, notarizes, and updates the auto-update feed.

# Desktop App Release
|
||||
|
||||
Use this skill when the user asks to release the desktop app, publish Cline Code, bump the desktop version, create a `desktop-vX.Y.Z` tag, or trigger the desktop publish workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
> Working directory: run every command below from the repository root.
|
||||
|
||||
Desktop releases are macOS-only today (signed + notarized DMG for Apple Silicon and Intel) and are built entirely in GitHub Actions — there is no local publish path. Installed apps discover new releases automatically through the Tauri updater, so publishing a release is what ships the update to every existing user.
|
||||
|
||||
## Release contract
|
||||
|
||||
- Version sources (must match each other and the tag): `apps/examples/desktop-app/package.json` and `apps/examples/desktop-app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`. (`src-tauri/Cargo.toml` has its own version but `tauri.conf.json` overrides it; no need to touch it.)
|
||||
- Release tag: `desktop-vX.Y.Z`, where `X.Y.Z` matches both version files.
|
||||
- Release prep includes approved release notes, the version bumps, and an `apps/examples/desktop-app/CHANGELOG.md` update.
|
||||
- Publish path: `.github/workflows/desktop-publish.yml` (workflow_dispatch, requires the tag to exist, point at the checked-out commit, and be reachable from `origin/main`).
|
||||
- The workflow creates the `desktop-vX.Y.Z` GitHub release (DMGs + updater artifacts + `latest.json`) and refreshes the rolling `desktop-latest` release, which is the static auto-update feed every installed app polls. Never delete the `desktop-latest` release or tag.
|
||||
- The changelog's top `## X.Y.Z` section is extracted verbatim into the GitHub release body, the Slack announcement, and the updater manifest notes.
|
||||
- Always ask before pushing commits or tags.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. Gather context.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git status --short --branch
|
||||
git fetch origin --tags
|
||||
git tag --list 'desktop-v*' --sort=-v:refname | head -10
|
||||
node -p "require('./apps/examples/desktop-app/package.json').version"
|
||||
node -p "require('./apps/examples/desktop-app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json').version"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If there is no `desktop-v*` tag yet, this is the first release; use the desktop app's first commit as the baseline and say the baseline is inferred.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Collect release commits.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git log <last-desktop-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges -- apps/examples/desktop-app sdk/packages .github/workflows/desktop-publish.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The sidecar bundles `@cline/core` and friends from the monorepo, so SDK changes ship inside the desktop app too. Fold user-visible SDK changes (providers, models, behavior fixes) into the notes; skip purely internal ones.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Draft user-facing release notes.
|
||||
|
||||
Flat bullet list, user-facing language. Present the draft and wait for approval before editing files.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Decide the version bump.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask whether this is patch, minor, major, or an explicit version. Do not guess if the user has not made it clear.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update release files.
|
||||
|
||||
- `apps/examples/desktop-app/package.json` → new version
|
||||
- `apps/examples/desktop-app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` → same version
|
||||
- Prepend `## X.Y.Z` (no date) to `apps/examples/desktop-app/CHANGELOG.md` with the approved notes.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Verify before committing.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun -F @cline/code typecheck
|
||||
bun test apps/examples/desktop-app/scripts/generate-update-manifest.test.ts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The full desktop bundle can only be built on macOS; the workflow's build job is the real verification. For extra local confidence on a Mac checkout, `bun run package:desktop:mac --allow-unsigned-mac` from the app directory.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Commit release changes.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git add apps/examples/desktop-app/package.json apps/examples/desktop-app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json apps/examples/desktop-app/CHANGELOG.md
|
||||
git commit -m "chore(desktop): release vX.Y.Z"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ask before pushing the release commit, then before creating and pushing the tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git push origin HEAD
|
||||
git tag -a desktop-vX.Y.Z -m "Desktop vX.Y.Z"
|
||||
git push origin refs/tags/desktop-vX.Y.Z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
8. Publish.
|
||||
|
||||
The release commit must be on `main` and the tag pushed first.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gh workflow run desktop-publish.yml -f git_tag=desktop-vX.Y.Z -f confirm_publish=publish
|
||||
gh run list --workflow=desktop-publish.yml --limit=1 --json url,status,conclusion,createdAt --jq '.[0]'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow builds both architectures in parallel (aarch64 native, x86_64 cross-compiled), signs with the Developer ID certificate, notarizes with the App Store Connect API key, signs updater artifacts with the Tauri updater key, creates the GitHub release, refreshes `desktop-latest/latest.json`, and posts to Slack. Notarization typically adds 2–10 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
If the workflow fails on missing credentials, see "Repo secrets (one-time setup)" below.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Verify the update feed after the run succeeds.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
curl -sL https://github.com/cline/cline/releases/download/desktop-latest/latest.json | head -30
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `version` field must be the new release and both `darwin-aarch64` and `darwin-x86_64` URLs must point at the new `desktop-vX.Y.Z` assets. Installed apps pick the update up on next launch or within 2 hours.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Final response.
|
||||
|
||||
Report: version, tag, changelog updated, commit hash, what was pushed, workflow URL, and the feed verification result.
|
||||
|
||||
## Repo secrets (one-time setup)
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow needs these repository secrets. The Apple ones come from the same
|
||||
Apple Developer account used for manual signing (see the app README's "macOS
|
||||
signing & notarization" section for how to obtain them):
|
||||
|
||||
| Secret | Value |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| `APPLE_CERTIFICATE` | Base64 of the **Developer ID Application** identity exported from Keychain Access as `.p12` (must include the private key): `base64 -i certificate.p12 \| pbcopy` |
|
||||
| `APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` | The password chosen when exporting the `.p12` |
|
||||
| `APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY` | `Developer ID Application: <Team Name> (<TEAMID>)` — from `security find-identity -v -p codesigning` |
|
||||
| `APPLE_API_KEY` | App Store Connect API **Key ID** (notarization) |
|
||||
| `APPLE_API_KEY_CONTENT` | Contents of the `AuthKey_<KEYID>.p8` file |
|
||||
| `APPLE_API_ISSUER` | App Store Connect **Issuer ID** (UUID from Users and Access → Integrations) |
|
||||
| `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY` | Contents of the Tauri updater private key (`tauri signer generate`). If this key is ever lost, shipped apps can no longer verify updates — guard it. |
|
||||
| `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD` | Password for that key |
|
||||
|
||||
The Slack + telemetry secrets (`SLACK_RELEASE_BOT_TOKEN`, `TELEMETRY_SERVICE_API_KEY`,
|
||||
OTEL settings) are shared with the CLI publish workflow and already configured.

# VS Code Extension Release
|
||||
|
||||
Use this skill when the user asks to release, publish, or ship the VS Code extension — stable, nightly, or a legacy hotfix — or to dial the rollout, or to cut over to the SDK extension permanently.
|
||||
|
||||
> Working directory: repo root. All workflows are dispatched from `main` (GitHub requires the workflow file on the default branch; each workflow checks out the refs it actually builds).
|
||||
|
||||
## The current era: combined A/B rollout
|
||||
|
||||
We are mid-migration from the legacy (npm, pre-SDK) extension to the next (SDK-based, bun) extension. Until the cutover is complete, **the stable and nightly listings ship a combined VSIX**: a small loader + two complete extensions (`next/` built from `main`, `legacy/` built from the `legacy-extension` branch). The loader picks one per window based on the PostHog flag `ext-sdk-bundle-rollout`. Deep-dive docs: `apps/vscode-rollout/README.md` (authoritative) and PR #12253 (design + runbook comments).
|
||||
|
||||
Endgame (see "Cutover" at the bottom): once the next bundle is trusted at 100%, stable goes back to a plain build of `main` via `ext-vscode-publish-stable.yml` and all the legacy/rollout machinery is retired.
|
||||
|
||||
### The listings and the workflows
|
||||
|
||||
| Channel | Marketplace ID | Workflow | Trigger | Version |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Stable (combined) | `saoudrizwan.claude-dev` | `ext-vscode-ab-package.yml` | dispatch only; `publish` input defaults false | manual input (semver, e.g. `4.1.0`) |
|
||||
| Nightly (combined) | `saoudrizwan.cline-nightly` | `ext-vscode-publish-nightly.yml` | cron 12:00 UTC + dispatch | auto `<major>.<minor>.<unix-ts>` from main's `apps/vscode/package.json` |
|
||||
| Legacy hotfix (standalone) | `saoudrizwan.claude-dev` | `ext-vscode-publish-legacy.yml` | dispatch | from `apps/vscode/package.json` on `legacy-extension` |
|
||||
| Stable standalone (post-cutover) | `saoudrizwan.claude-dev` | `ext-vscode-publish-stable.yml` | dispatch | from `apps/vscode/package.json` on `main` |
|
||||
|
||||
All three publish paths gate on tests before publishing: nightly and ab-package run the reusable bun suite (`ext-vscode-test.yml`, tests `main`) — ab-package additionally runs the legacy branch's npm suite — and the legacy workflow inlines the npm suite. Environment gates: stable paths use `publish` → `Publish` environment (required reviewers approve in the Actions UI); nightly uses `PublishNightly` (branch policy only, no reviewers — a reviewer requirement would block the cron).
|
||||
|
||||
## Golden rules (read before any release)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **One listing, one version line.** `claude-dev` is published from multiple workflows/branches. Every stable publish must use a version **strictly above the highest version ever published to the listing from any branch** — marketplace versions are monotonic and cannot be unpublished (supersede, never delete). Check what's live first:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -s -X POST "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/extensionquery" \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json;api-version=3.0-preview.1" \
|
||||
-d '{"filters":[{"criteria":[{"filterType":7,"value":"saoudrizwan.claude-dev"}]}],"flags":16}' \
|
||||
| python3 -c "import json,sys; v=json.load(sys.stdin)['results'][0]['extensions'][0]['versions'][0]; print(v['version'], v['lastUpdated'])"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Check the flag BEFORE any stable combined publish.** `ext-sdk-bundle-rollout` is **shared between nightly and stable** — the loader sends only a machine id to `/decide`, no channel property, so there is no per-channel targeting. If the flag is high (nightly dogfooding) and you publish stable, stable users get the next bundle at that same percentage. Verify the effective percentage empirically (no PostHog admin needed — sample `/decide` with random ids using the key inlined in any shipped loader):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
node -e '
|
||||
const KEY = process.argv[1]; // phc_... extracted from a shipped VSIX loader
|
||||
(async () => {
|
||||
let t = 0, n = 200;
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < n; i += 20) {
|
||||
const rs = await Promise.all(Array.from({length: 20}, (_, j) =>
|
||||
fetch("https://data.cline.bot/decide?v=3", { method: "POST",
|
||||
headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify({api_key: KEY, distinct_id: `probe-${i+j}-${Math.random()}`})
|
||||
}).then(r => r.json())));
|
||||
for (const r of rs) if ((r.featureFlags||{})["ext-sdk-bundle-rollout"] === true) t++;
|
||||
}
|
||||
console.log(`~${(100*t/n).toFixed(1)}% (${t}/${n})`);
|
||||
})()' "$KEY"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Flag changes are made in the PostHog UI (Cline project). **0% is the kill switch** — the flag is two-way; there is no separate killswitch flag. Dialing down demotes machines back to legacy on their next window reload.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Ask before pushing** commits or tags. Environment approvals are the maintainer's to give.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Changelog lives at the repo ROOT** (`CHANGELOG.md`), on the branch being released — not `apps/vscode/CHANGELOG.md` (doesn't exist). The legacy and stable workflows hard-fail unless the first heading is exactly `## [<version>]`.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Stuck concurrency groups**: `ext-vscode-ab-package` groups on the version with `cancel-in-progress: false`. A run left `waiting` on environment approval blocks every later dispatch of the same version — cancel it (`gh run cancel <id>`) before re-dispatching.
|
||||
|
||||
## Stable release (combined A/B VSIX) — the current stable path
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-flight
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. What's live, and what version comes next (must exceed it — rule 1)
|
||||
# 2. Flag percentage (rule 2) — decide where it should be for this release
|
||||
# 3. Legacy tip = what the non-promoted cohort will run; confirm it's the shipped hotfix line
|
||||
git fetch origin main legacy-extension
|
||||
git log --oneline -3 origin/legacy-extension
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Cheap local rehearsal of the most likely build failure: the union manifest
|
||||
# hard-fails if views/viewsContainers/configuration diverged between branches.
|
||||
git show origin/main:apps/vscode/package.json > /tmp/next.json
|
||||
git show origin/legacy-extension:apps/vscode/package.json > /tmp/legacy.json
|
||||
node apps/vscode-rollout/scripts/gen-manifest.mjs --next /tmp/next.json --legacy /tmp/legacy.json --version <VERSION>
|
||||
# Expected warnings only: engines union (takes newer) + walkthrough copy drift.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Release prep on `main` (PR, not direct push):
|
||||
- Add `## [<VERSION>]` entry at the top of root `CHANGELOG.md`.
|
||||
- Bump `apps/vscode/package.json` to `<VERSION>` so the repo reflects the published line. Side effect: nightly versions become `<major>.<minor>.<unix-ts>` of the new base — harmless (separate listing, still monotonic).
|
||||
|
||||
### Dispatch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh workflow run ext-vscode-ab-package.yml --ref main \
|
||||
-f version=<VERSION> -f next-ref=main -f legacy-ref=legacy-extension -f publish=true
|
||||
# publish=false builds an installable .vsix artifact without publishing, but the
|
||||
# package job still requires the same Publish environment approval — an
|
||||
# unapproved rehearsal sits in `waiting` and blocks that version's concurrency
|
||||
# group (rule 5).
|
||||
gh run list --workflow=ext-vscode-ab-package.yml --limit 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both test suites run first (no approval needed); the gated `package` job then **waits for `Publish` environment approval** (Actions → run → "Review deployments"). Both bundles build the exact revisions their test gates ran against (branch names are resolved once — commits landing on either branch mid-run or during the approval wait are not picked up); `publish=true` is additionally refused for any `next-ref` other than `main` (the bun gate only tests main — non-main next-refs are for build-only artifact rehearsals). Check what a run is waiting on:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh api repos/cline/cline/actions/runs/<run-id>/pending_deployments
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Post-publish
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify the marketplace serves the new version (query from rule 1) — expect minutes-to-an-hour of validation lag after "Published" appears in the logs.
|
||||
2. Tag, GitHub Release (with the .vsix attached), and the Slack release-bot post happen **automatically** after a real publish (all `continue-on-error` — the publish itself already succeeded, so bookkeeping failures leave the run green). Verify they landed; the known failure is the tag push when the built commit touches `.github/workflows/**` (default token cannot create such refs — no grantable permission fixes it). Manual fallback:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git tag v<VERSION> <main-sha-built> # ask before pushing
|
||||
git push origin v<VERSION>
|
||||
gh release create v<VERSION> --title "v<VERSION>" --notes "<changelog section>" <path-to.vsix>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A real publish also **hard-fails early** if root `CHANGELOG.md` on the built main revision doesn't start with `## [<VERSION>]` — the release prep PR must be merged before dispatching.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Thorough artifact check (`gh run download <run-id>`): union `package.json` is `saoudrizwan.claude-dev@<VERSION>`, `next/package.json` and `legacy/package.json` carry the SAME version, `grep -c 'phc_' extension/extension.js` ≥ 1 (loader key inlined), no leftover `process.env.TELEMETRY_SERVICE_API_KEY` / `process.env.CLINE_ROLLOUT_VARIANT` literals in either bundle's dist (leftovers = a build ran without its env and telemetry is silently dead).
|
||||
4. Monitor: `extension.rollout.bundle_activated` in `otel.otel_logs` filtered to `extension_version = '<VERSION>'` (stable cohort is cleanly separable — nightly versions are timestamps). Watch the next/legacy ratio and the crash-fallback rate; Metabase dashboards 17 (rollout + task error rate) and 19 (error deep dive). `extension.rollout.loader_decision` (incl. `double_failure`) is PostHog-only, not in ClickHouse.
|
||||
5. Dial the flag per the rollout plan (e.g. 0% at publish → 1% → up), verifying each change with the probe from rule 2. Announce demotions ahead of time — dialing down also demotes nightly dogfooders unless they set `"cline-nightly.rollout.bundleOverride": "next"`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Known caveats of this path
|
||||
|
||||
- **Marketplace only** — no Open VSX step (both standalone workflows have one). Open VSX users stay on the last standalone version until a standalone publish or the cutover.
|
||||
- **`engines.vscode` unions upward** (main's floor wins, e.g. `^1.101.0` vs legacy's `^1.84.0`): users on older VS Code are never offered the combined VSIX. Fail-safe during rollout; must be resolved before 100%.
|
||||
- A red run can still mean a successful publish on paths that tag (see Gotchas).
|
||||
|
||||
## Nightly release
|
||||
|
||||
Happens automatically (cron 12:00 UTC). Manual cut:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh workflow run ext-vscode-publish-nightly.yml --ref main # real publish
|
||||
gh workflow run ext-vscode-publish-nightly.yml --ref main -f dry-run=true # artifact only
|
||||
gh run watch <run-id> --exit-status --interval 60
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
No changelog/version prep — the version is computed. Verify with the marketplace query against `saoudrizwan.cline-nightly`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Red run ≠ failed publish**: the final tag-push step fails whenever main's HEAD touches `.github/workflows/**` (default token cannot create such refs). If "Published" appears in the logs, the release went out; push the `nightly-main-<UTC ts>-<sha12>` tag manually with user credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
## Legacy hotfix release (and emergency full rollback)
|
||||
|
||||
For shipping a fix on the `legacy-extension` branch — or as the **structural rollback** from a bad combined stable VSIX: a standalone legacy publish at a higher version supersedes the combined VSIX entirely (loader and all) for every user. (For "next bundle misbehaving" you don't need this — dial the flag to 0% instead.)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# On legacy-extension: commit the fix, bump apps/vscode/package.json ABOVE the
|
||||
# highest version ever published to the listing (rule 1 — including combined
|
||||
# versions, e.g. combined 4.1.0 live -> hotfix is 4.1.1, not 4.0.13),
|
||||
# add the matching `## [x.y.z]` entry to root CHANGELOG.md, push.
|
||||
gh workflow run ext-vscode-publish-legacy.yml --ref main \
|
||||
-f release-type=release -f branch=legacy-extension
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
npm test suite runs ungated; the publish job waits on the `Publish` environment. This workflow derives + pushes the `v<version>` tag itself and creates the GitHub release — no manual tagging. Publishes to Marketplace **and** Open VSX. The branch is the npm codebase: use `npm`, never `bun`, and expect the old monolith layout (`apps/vscode/src/core/...`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Cutover: retiring the A/B machinery (the endgame)
|
||||
|
||||
When the next bundle has held at 100% long enough to trust:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Resolve the engines floor**: decide whether stranding VS Code < main's `engines.vscode` on the last combined version is acceptable, or lower main's floor first.
|
||||
2. Bump `apps/vscode/package.json` on `main` above everything ever published; root `CHANGELOG.md` entry to match (both are enforced by the workflow).
|
||||
3. Ship standalone from main: `gh workflow run ext-vscode-publish-stable.yml --ref main` — tests main, tags `v<version>` itself, creates the GitHub release, publishes Marketplace + Open VSX (this also heals the Open VSX gap).
|
||||
4. Watch the same rollout telemetry through the transition — `extension_variant` disappears from events as users leave combined builds, which is itself the adoption signal.
|
||||
5. Only after the standalone version dominates: retire `legacy-extension` (keep for history), delete `ext-vscode-publish-legacy.yml` and `ext-vscode-ab-package.yml`, convert the nightly workflow back to a plain build of main, remove `apps/vscode-rollout/`, and archive the `ext-sdk-bundle-rollout` flag in PostHog (harmless to machines still on a combined VSIX: absent flag fails safe to... nothing changing until they update, but their loader treats a deleted flag as legacy — leave the flag at 100% until combined-VSIX activations flatline, then archive).
|
||||
6. Update this skill: delete the combined-era sections and keep the standalone flow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Gotchas index
|
||||
|
||||
- `inputs.*` are empty strings on `schedule` events — preserve `|| 'default'` fallbacks when editing the nightly workflow.
|
||||
- `bun run package` in `apps/vscode` does not build `@cline/*` workspace deps — fresh checkouts need `bun run build:sdk` first (workflows handle this).
|
||||
- Job-level `if:` ref checks in workflow YAML are advisory (a dispatched branch runs its own copy of the file); the enforced boundary is each environment's deployment-branch policy in repo settings.
|
||||
- Marketplace PATs (`VSCE_PAT`/`OVSX_PAT`) are only mounted into publish steps; neither publish workflow has an untrusted trigger surface.
|
||||
- Environment-approval runs left waiting don't time out quickly — they sit for days and (for ab-package) block their version's concurrency group.
|
||||
- Local forcing for manual testing: `CLINE_BUNDLE_OVERRIDE=next|legacy` env (launch VS Code fresh from a terminal) or the `<prefix>.rollout.bundleOverride` setting + reload; both report as `override` in telemetry so they don't pollute cohort data.

# Publish UI
|
||||
|
||||
Release `@cline/ui` independently from the Cline SDK runtime packages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Release contract
|
||||
|
||||
- Version source: `sdk/packages/ui/package.json`.
|
||||
- Workflow: `.github/workflows/ui-publish.yml`.
|
||||
- The package keeps `internal: true` only to stay out of the SDK's shared
|
||||
version/publish scripts. It is still a public npm package because
|
||||
`private: false` and `publishConfig.access: public` control npm publication.
|
||||
- `latest` is the production channel. `next` is an opt-in preview channel.
|
||||
- Use prerelease versions such as `0.2.0-next.0` for `next`; do not publish a
|
||||
version intended for `latest` under the preview tag because npm versions
|
||||
cannot be republished.
|
||||
- There is no UI Git tag, GitHub release, schedule, or Slack announcement.
|
||||
- The workflow runs only by manual dispatch. Every release attempt runs the UI
|
||||
quality checks before publishing and requires `confirm_publish=publish` from
|
||||
`main`.
|
||||
- The publish job and npm trust relationship use the protected `Publish`
|
||||
environment.
|
||||
- Every npm publication needs a new semver version; npm versions are immutable.
|
||||
- Always ask before pushing commits, triggering the publish workflow, changing
|
||||
npm trust settings, or running a local publish command.
|
||||
|
||||
## Normal release
|
||||
|
||||
1. Inspect the branch, current version, npm state, and UI changes.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git status --short --branch
|
||||
node -p "require('./sdk/packages/ui/package.json').version"
|
||||
npm view @cline/ui dist-tags versions --json
|
||||
git log --oneline --no-merges -- \
|
||||
sdk/packages/ui apps/examples/desktop-app/webview/components/views/chat \
|
||||
.github/workflows/ui-publish.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Ask for the npm channel and version together. For `latest`, ask for patch,
|
||||
minor, major, or an explicit version. For `next`, require an explicit
|
||||
prerelease version such as `0.2.0-next.0`. Do not guess. Update only
|
||||
`sdk/packages/ui/package.json` and its workspace version in `bun.lock`. Do
|
||||
not run the SDK version command.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Validate the release candidate.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun install --filter @cline/ui --filter @cline/code --frozen-lockfile
|
||||
bun -F @cline/ui typecheck
|
||||
bun -F @cline/ui test
|
||||
bun -F @cline/ui test:package
|
||||
bun -F @cline/ui build-storybook
|
||||
bun -F @cline/code test:chat-ui
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The packed-package test installs the tarball with Bun/React 19 and with
|
||||
npm/Node/React 18.
|
||||
Inspect `bun pm pack --dry-run` when the exported file set changed.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Commit the version bump separately from feature work. Ask before pushing.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git add sdk/packages/ui/package.json bun.lock
|
||||
git commit -m "chore(ui): release vX.Y.Z"
|
||||
git push origin HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. After the release commit reaches `main`, restate the selected npm tag and ask
|
||||
for explicit publish approval. Then trigger and watch the standalone
|
||||
workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
run_url=$(gh workflow run ui-publish.yml --ref main \
|
||||
-f npm_tag=latest \
|
||||
-f confirm_publish=publish)
|
||||
test -n "$run_url"
|
||||
run_id=${run_url##*/}
|
||||
gh run watch "$run_id" --exit-status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `npm_tag=next` only for a deliberate preview. Do not report success until
|
||||
the workflow succeeds and npm shows the exact version under the selected tag.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm view @cline/ui dist-tags versions --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## One-time npm bootstrap
|
||||
|
||||
Use this only while `npm view @cline/ui` returns `E404`. npm requires the
|
||||
package to exist before its GitHub trusted publisher can be configured.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Merge the package and `ui-publish.yml` to `main`. Start from a clean,
|
||||
reviewed `main` checkout. Verify authentication, account 2FA, and write
|
||||
access to the `@cline` npm organization. The `npm trust` command in step 4
|
||||
requires npm CLI 11.15 or newer; the automated trusted-publishing workflow
|
||||
itself enforces npm 11.5.1 or newer.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm --version
|
||||
npm whoami
|
||||
npm view @cline/ui version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If npm is older than 11.15, ask before upgrading with
|
||||
`npm install -g npm@^11.15.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run the normal release validation in step 3 above. Then build, pack, test,
|
||||
and inspect the exact initial tarball. Record the absolute archive path
|
||||
printed by the final command.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bun -F @cline/ui build
|
||||
pack_dir=$(mktemp -d)
|
||||
(cd sdk/packages/ui && bun pm pack --ignore-scripts --destination "$pack_dir" --quiet)
|
||||
tarball=$(find "$pack_dir" -maxdepth 1 -name '*.tgz' -print -quit)
|
||||
test -n "$tarball"
|
||||
bun sdk/packages/ui/scripts/smoke-package.ts "$tarball"
|
||||
tar -tzf "$tarball"
|
||||
printf 'Bootstrap archive: %s\n' "$tarball"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Ask for explicit approval, then publish the initial version publicly under
|
||||
`latest`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm publish /absolute/path/from-step-2.tgz --access public --tag latest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Ask separately before configuring the standalone workflow as the trusted
|
||||
publisher:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm trust github @cline/ui \
|
||||
--repo cline/cline \
|
||||
--file ui-publish.yml \
|
||||
--env Publish \
|
||||
--allow-publish
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. Verify both package state and trust. Every later release uses the workflow;
|
||||
do not add a long-lived npm token.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm view @cline/ui dist-tags versions --json
|
||||
npm trust list @cline/ui
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Final report
|
||||
|
||||
Report the version and npm tag, release commit, whether anything was pushed,
|
||||
workflow URL or bootstrap result, npm verification, and tests/builds run. If
|
||||
the package still returns `E404`, state that bootstrap remains required.

# Bun (tooling) and Node (runtime)
|
||||
|
||||
This repo uses **bun** for package management and task running, and **Node** as
|
||||
the execution runtime. Both are correct at the same time; the distinction is the
|
||||
source of most confusion, so keep it straight before editing scripts, configs,
|
||||
docs, or comments.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use bun for tooling
|
||||
|
||||
- `bun install` (never `npm install` / `npm ci`)
|
||||
- `bun run <script>` (never `npm run <script>`)
|
||||
- `bunx <bin>` (never `npx <bin>`)
|
||||
- `bun <file>.ts` to run a TS entrypoint directly (no `ts-node` / `tsx`)
|
||||
- `bun esbuild.mjs` to drive the build (esbuild/vite are still the bundlers)
|
||||
- `bun run --parallel ...` for parallel tasks
|
||||
|
||||
The root `bun.lock` is the single lockfile for the whole workspace, including
|
||||
`apps/vscode`, `webview-ui`, and `testing-platform`. There are no per-package npm
|
||||
lockfiles.
|
||||
|
||||
## Node is the runtime — do NOT rewrite these to bun
|
||||
|
||||
The build product runs on Node: the VS Code extension host loads
|
||||
`dist/extension.js` as CommonJS under Node, and the standalone `cline-core` is a
|
||||
Node process. The following are Node runtime/ABI references and are correct as-is:
|
||||
|
||||
| Reference | Why it is Node |
|
||||
|-----------|----------------|
|
||||
| esbuild `platform: "node"` / `target: "node..."` | The bundle targets the Node runtime (extension host, standalone core). |
|
||||
| `TARGET_NODE_VERSION` (`scripts/package-standalone.mjs`) | Pins the Node ABI of the bundled standalone runtime (matches the JetBrains-packaged Node). |
|
||||
| `prebuild-install --target=<node version>` | Downloads native `.node` binaries for that Node ABI. |
|
||||
| `NODE_PATH=... node cline-core.js` | The standalone core is launched by Node, not bun. |
|
||||
| `node:` import specifiers (e.g. `node:fs`) | Node builtin module scheme; unrelated to tooling. |
|
||||
| `process.versions.node`, `engines.node`, `@types/node` | Runtime version probe / declared runtime / its types. |
|
||||
| `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` | VS Code/Electron runs the extension host as Node. |
|
||||
|
||||
When a file legitimately uses both bun and node (e.g. `package-standalone.mjs`
|
||||
does `bun install` but `prebuild-install --target=<node>`), the `node` token is
|
||||
the runtime/ABI target, not tooling. If unsure, leave it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tests: bun vs the VS Code host
|
||||
|
||||
A test file's runner is decided by its import:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`import ... from "bun:test"`** → runs under `bun test` (the node-side unit
|
||||
suites + the SDK/model-catalog suites). `scripts/run-bun-unit-tests.ts`
|
||||
discovers these by the `bun:test` import and runs one isolated bun process per
|
||||
file. `build-tests.js` excludes them from the integration compile so the
|
||||
`bun:test` builtin never reaches Node.
|
||||
- **`import ... from "mocha"`** → runs under `@vscode/test-cli` in a real VS Code
|
||||
extension host (Node). These exercise the live `vscode` API and cannot run
|
||||
under bun.
|
||||
|
||||
So a file imports `bun:test` XOR `mocha`. Don't add `bun:test` to a test that
|
||||
needs the real extension host.

# Debug Harness
|
||||
|
||||
HTTP-controlled debugger for the VSCode extension at `src/dev/debug-harness/server.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build extension first if needed (protos + esbuild):
|
||||
bun run protos && IS_DEV=true bun esbuild.mjs
|
||||
|
||||
# Launch (skip-build if already built). Run with node, NOT bun — Playwright's
|
||||
# Electron launch times out under bun:
|
||||
node src/dev/debug-harness/server.ts --skip-build --auto-launch
|
||||
|
||||
# In another terminal:
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"status"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Isolation
|
||||
|
||||
The debugee runs with `CLINE_DIR=~/.cline2` by default, separate from your real `~/.cline`.
|
||||
This prevents the debugee's logout from logging out the debugger, and vice versa.
|
||||
Override with `--cline-dir /tmp/test-dir`. Check with `status()` → `clineDir`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Browser Capture & OAuth
|
||||
|
||||
The debugee runs with `CLINE_CAPTURE_BROWSER=1`, which intercepts `openExternal()` in
|
||||
`src/utils/env.ts`. URLs are captured instead of opening a real browser:
|
||||
|
||||
- Logged to `$CLINE_DIR/data/debug-captured-urls.jsonl`
|
||||
- POSTed in real-time to `/captured-url` on the harness server
|
||||
- Queryable via `oauth.captured_urls`
|
||||
|
||||
### OAuth API
|
||||
|
||||
- **`oauth.captured_urls`** `{clear?}` — URLs the debugee tried to open
|
||||
- **`oauth.read_stored_token`** — Check auth token presence in secrets.json
|
||||
- **`oauth.simulate_callback`** `{path, code?, state?, provider?, token?}` — Build vscode:// callback URI
|
||||
- **`oauth.read_captured_urls_file`** — Read on-disk JSONL of captured URLs
|
||||
|
||||
### OAuth testing flow
|
||||
|
||||
For **Cline OAuth** (SDK local callback): The SDK starts a local HTTP server, the auth URL
|
||||
is captured. To complete: open the captured URL in a real browser (it redirects back to the
|
||||
SDK's callback server), OR extract the callback port and `curl http://127.0.0.1:PORT/callback?code=...`.
|
||||
|
||||
For **MCP/Provider OAuth** (vscode:// URI): The redirect goes to a vscode:// URI.
|
||||
`oauth.simulate_callback` only *builds* the URI — it does not deliver it, and the ESM
|
||||
extension host can't `require()` the handler. To actually deliver the callback, call the
|
||||
debug-only hook via `ext.evaluate` (with `awaitPromise: true`):
|
||||
`globalThis.__clineHandleUri("vscode://saoudrizwan.claude-dev/...?code=...&state=...")`.
|
||||
It runs the same `SharedUriHandler.handleUri` as VSCode's real URI handler and exists only
|
||||
when `CLINE_CAPTURE_BROWSER` is set (the harness always sets it; never ships in prod).
|
||||
For end-to-end MCP OAuth, get a real `code` from the local MCP OAuth test server
|
||||
(`bun run dev:mcp-oauth-test-server`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Navigating Views — Use Commands, Not Clicks
|
||||
|
||||
Don't try to find/click small sidebar icons. Use VSCode commands via command palette.
|
||||
Registered in `src/registry.ts`:
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | View |
|
||||
|---------|------|
|
||||
| `cline.accountButtonClicked` | Account / sign-in |
|
||||
| `cline.historyButtonClicked` | Task history |
|
||||
| `cline.settingsButtonClicked` | Settings |
|
||||
| `cline.mcpButtonClicked` | MCP servers |
|
||||
| `cline.plusButtonClicked` | New task (chat) |
|
||||
| `cline.worktreesButtonClicked` | Worktrees |
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.command_palette","params":{"command":"cline.accountButtonClicked"}}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key commands
|
||||
|
||||
All via `POST localhost:19229/api` with `{"method":"...", "params":{...}}`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`launch`** / **`shutdown`** — lifecycle
|
||||
- **`ui.screenshot`** — screenshot to `/tmp/cline-debug/`; returns `{path}` — **use `read_file` on the path to examine, do NOT `open` the file** (Preview.app covers the VSCode window)
|
||||
- **`ui.open_sidebar`** — open the Cline sidebar
|
||||
- **`ext.set_breakpoint`** `{file, line, condition?}` — breakpoint by source file (sourcemap-resolved)
|
||||
- **`ext.evaluate`** `{expression, callFrameId?}` — eval in extension host
|
||||
- **`ext.resume`** / **`ext.step_over`** / **`ext.step_into`** — stepping
|
||||
- **`ext.call_stack`** — inspect when paused
|
||||
- **`web.evaluate`** `{expression}` — eval in webview
|
||||
- **`web.post_message`** `{message}` — send postMessage to extension host via exposed vsCodeApi
|
||||
- **`wait_for_pause`** `{timeout?}` — block until breakpoint hit
|
||||
- **`ui.locator`** `{role?, testId?, text?, frame?}` — Playwright locator (auto-retries on stale sidebar frame)
|
||||
- **`ui.react_input`** `{text, selector?, clear?, submit?}` — set React textarea value via `execCommand('insertText')`; works reliably across multiple tasks
|
||||
- **`ui.send_message`** `{text, images?, files?, responseType?}` — send chat message bypassing the textarea entirely (via gRPC postMessage)
|
||||
- **`ui.command_palette`** `{command}` — run VSCode command
|
||||
|
||||
## Typical Session
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Launch
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"launch","params":{"skipBuild":true}}'
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Open sidebar + dismiss overlays (ALWAYS do this first)
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.open_sidebar"}'
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"web.evaluate","params":{"expression":"document.querySelectorAll(\".sr-only\").forEach(el => el.parentElement?.click())"}}'
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Navigate to view
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.command_palette","params":{"command":"cline.accountButtonClicked"}}'
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. Check captured OAuth URLs if testing auth
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"oauth.captured_urls"}'
|
||||
|
||||
# 5. Verify
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method":"ui.screenshot"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
- **⚠️ Dismiss promotional overlays FIRST**: On fresh launches, full-screen promo overlays block the sidebar. **Dismiss immediately after `ui.open_sidebar`**, before any other interaction or screenshot. May need to run twice:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl localhost:19229/api -d '{"method": "ui.open_sidebar"}'

|
||||
- **Screenshots — don't open the file**: `ui.screenshot` and `ui.sidebar_screenshot` save PNGs to `/tmp/cline-debug/` and return the `{path}`. Use `read_file` on that path to examine screenshots. Running `open <path>` launches Preview.app on macOS which covers the VSCode window.
|
||||
- **Scripts count = 0 after launch**: CDP connects after extension host starts, so scripts parsed during startup aren't tracked. Breakpoints still work via sourcemap resolution.
|
||||
- **Port 9230**: Extension host inspector. If another VSCode instance uses this port, the harness will fail to connect. Kill other debug instances first.
|
||||
- **macOS only** for now (Playwright Electron launch behavior).
|
||||
- **Webview CDP**: `connect_webview` may fail depending on Electron version. `web.evaluate` still works via Playwright's `frame.evaluate()` fallback.
|
||||
- **Sourcemap paths**: esbuild outputs relative paths like `../src/extension.ts` in the sourcemap. The resolver handles this, but if a file isn't found, use `ext.source_files` to see exact paths.
|
||||
- **OAuth with fake codes**: Browser capture intercepts the URL but doesn't provide a valid auth code. For real OAuth testing, open the captured URL in a browser. For unit testing, mock the token exchange.

This file is the secret sauce for working effectively in this codebase. It captures tribal knowledge—the nuanced, non-obvious patterns that make the difference between a quick fix and hours of back-and-forth & human intervention.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to add to this file:**
|
||||
- User had to intervene, correct, or hand-hold
|
||||
- Multiple back-and-forth attempts were needed to get something working
|
||||
- You discovered something that required reading many files to understand
|
||||
- A change touched files you wouldn't have guessed
|
||||
- Something worked differently than you expected
|
||||
- User explicitly asks to "add this to CLAUDE.md"
|
||||
|
||||
**Proactively suggest additions** when any of the above happen—don't wait to be asked.
|
||||
|
||||
**What NOT to add:** Stuff you can figure out from reading a few files, obvious patterns, or standard practices. This file should be high-signal, not comprehensive.
|
||||
|
||||
## Miscellaneous
|
||||
- The whole repo (including `apps/vscode`) uses **bun** for package management and task running. Emit `bun run X` / `bun install` / `bunx <bin>` / `bun file.ts`, never npm/npx. Node remains the *runtime* (VS Code's extension host and the standalone cline-core are Node), so Node-runtime tokens are legitimate and must not be "fixed" to bun — see @.clinerules/bun-and-node.md for the keep-list vs rewrite-list.
|
||||
- Avoid provider-specific string matching / hardcoded provider branches when fixing provider/config plumbing. Prefer provider metadata, shared catalog/defaults, explicit protocol/client capabilities, or centralized normalization utilities that apply by data shape rather than `providerId === "..."`. If a provider exception seems necessary, stop and explain why instead of adding ad-hoc string matching.
|
||||
- This is a VS Code extension—check `package.json` for available scripts before trying to verify builds (e.g., `bun run compile`, not `bun run build`).
|
||||
- When reading a configuration files that users may edit, use `readFileStrippingUtf8Bom`, `readFileSyncStrippingUtf8Bom`, or `stripUtf8Bom` from `@cline/shared/node`. DON'T strip byte order marks of user files handled by tools/passed to models.
|
||||
- When creating PRs, contributors should not create changelog-entry files. Maintainers handle release versioning and changelog curation during the release process.
|
||||
- When adding new feature flags, see this PR as a reference https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/7566

## Searching the Codebase — Avoiding Build Output
|
||||
|
||||
Several directories contain build output or generated code that produces
|
||||
noisy or unusable results with `search_files` / `grep`:
|
||||
|
||||
| Directory | What it is | Why it's a problem |
|
||||
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|
|
||||
| `out/` | esbuild bundle output | Mirrors `src/` structure as minified JS — every search gets duplicate hits on single-line files |
|
||||
| `dist/` | Packaged extension | Entire extension bundled into one minified `extension.js` (~1 long line) |
|
||||
| `dist-standalone/` | Standalone build output | Same minification issue |
|
||||
| `src/generated/` | Generated protobuf code | Auto-generated from `proto/`; not the source of truth |
|
||||
| `src/shared/proto/` | Generated proto type defs | Auto-generated from `proto/`; not the source of truth |
|
||||
| `node_modules/` | Dependencies | Huge, not project source |
|
||||
|
||||
### How to skip build output
|
||||
|
||||
**`search_files`** — Point at `src/` (not the project root) and use `file_pattern`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
search_files(path="src/core", regex="myFunction", file_pattern="*.ts")
|
||||
```
|
||||
The `file_pattern` parameter is the most effective filter — e.g. `"*.ts"`,
|
||||
`"*.tsx"`, `"*.proto"`.
|
||||
|
||||
**`grep` directly** — Exclude build dirs and restrict to source extensions:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -rn "myFunction" src/ --include="*.ts" --exclude-dir={out,dist,node_modules,generated}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When you must search minified files
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you need to verify what got bundled (e.g., checking if a change
|
||||
made it into the build). Minified files are typically one long line, so
|
||||
normal `grep` shows the entire file as context. Use these approaches:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`grep -oP`** to extract just the match with limited surrounding context:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
grep -oP '.{0,40}myFunction.{0,40}' dist/extension.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **`read_file`** on files in `out/src/` — these have source maps and are
|
||||
more readable than `dist/extension.js` (which is the fully bundled output).
|
||||
- **Source maps** — `out/src/*.js.map` and `dist/extension.js.map` can be
|
||||
used to trace minified output back to original source locations.
|
||||
|
||||
## gRPC/Protobuf Communication
|
||||
The extension and webview communicate via gRPC-like protocol over VS Code message passing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Proto files live in `proto/`** (e.g., `proto/cline/task.proto`, `proto/cline/ui.proto`)
|
||||
- Each feature domain has its own `.proto` file
|
||||
- For simple data, use shared types in `proto/cline/common.proto` (`StringRequest`, `Empty`, `Int64Request`)
|
||||
- For complex data, define custom messages in the feature's `.proto` file
|
||||
- Naming: Services `PascalCaseService`, RPCs `camelCase`, Messages `PascalCase`
|
||||
- For streaming responses, use `stream` keyword (see `subscribeToAuthCallback` in `account.proto`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Run `bun run protos`** after any proto changes—generates types in:
|
||||
- `src/shared/proto/` - Shared type definitions
|
||||
- `src/generated/grpc-js/` - Service implementations
|
||||
- `src/generated/nice-grpc/` - Promise-based clients
|
||||
- `src/generated/hosts/` - Generated handlers
|
||||
|
||||
**Adding new enum values** (like a new `ClineSay` type) requires updating conversion mappings in `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
**Adding new RPC methods** requires:
|
||||
- Handler in `src/core/controller/<domain>/`
|
||||
- Call from webview via generated client: `UiServiceClient.scrollToSettings(StringRequest.create({ value: "browser" }))`
|
||||
|
||||
**Example—the `explain-changes` feature touched:**
|
||||
- `proto/cline/task.proto` - Added `ExplainChangesRequest` message and `explainChanges` RPC
|
||||
- `proto/cline/ui.proto` - Added `GENERATE_EXPLANATION = 29` to `ClineSay` enum
|
||||
- `src/shared/ExtensionMessage.ts` - Added `ClineSayGenerateExplanation` type
|
||||
- `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts` - Added mapping for new say type
|
||||
- `src/core/controller/task/explainChanges.ts` - Handler implementation
|
||||
- `webview-ui/src/components/chat/ChatRow.tsx` - UI rendering
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding New Global State Keys
|
||||
Adding a new key to global state requires updates in multiple places. Missing any step causes silent failures.
|
||||
|
||||
Required steps:
|
||||
1. Type definition in `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts` - Add to `GlobalState` or `Settings` interface
|
||||
2. Add any default value or transform in `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts` if the key needs one
|
||||
3. Read and write the value through `StateManager` (`setGlobalState()` / `getGlobalStateKey()`) after initialization
|
||||
|
||||
Persistent state is file-backed through `StateManager`; do not add new runtime reads or writes against VS Code `ExtensionContext` storage. That storage is only a legacy migration source.
|
||||
|
||||
Settings plumbing gotcha: if a key is user-toggleable from settings, wire both controller update paths:
|
||||
- `src/core/controller/state/updateSettings.ts` for webview `updateSetting(...)`
|
||||
- `src/core/controller/state/updateSettingsCli.ts` for CLI/ACP settings updates
|
||||
Missing one path causes a toggle to appear to change in one surface while the backend state stays unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
Webview toggle gotcha: settings changes must also round-trip back in state payloads.
|
||||
- Add the field to `UpdateSettingsRequest` in `proto/cline/state.proto` (for webview update requests), then run `bun run protos`
|
||||
- Include the key in `Controller.getStateToPostToWebview()` (`src/core/controller/index.ts`)
|
||||
- Ensure `ExtensionState` and webview defaults include the key (`src/shared/ExtensionMessage.ts`, `webview-ui/src/context/ExtensionStateContext.tsx`)
|
||||
If this round-trip wiring is missing, the backend value can update but the toggle in webview appears stuck or reverts.
|
||||
|
||||
## StateManager Cache vs Direct globalState Access
|
||||
StateManager uses an in-memory cache populated during `StateManager.initialize()` from file-backed storage. For most state, use `controller.stateManager.setGlobalState()`/`getGlobalStateKey()`.
|
||||
|
||||
Exception: host migration code may read legacy VS Code storage before file-backed storage is initialized.
|
||||
|
||||
Example pattern:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Writing (normal pattern)
|
||||
controller.stateManager.setGlobalState("myKey", value)
|
||||
|
||||
// Reading after initialization
|
||||
const value = controller.stateManager.getGlobalStateKey("myKey")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `context.globalState` only in VS Code migration code that copies legacy ExtensionContext values into the shared file-backed stores.
|
||||
|
||||
## ChatRow Cancelled/Interrupted States
|
||||
When a ChatRow displays a loading/in-progress state (spinner), you must handle what happens when the task is cancelled. This is non-obvious because cancellation doesn't update the message content—you have to infer it from context.
|
||||
|
||||
**The pattern:**
|
||||
1. A message has a `status` field (e.g., `"generating"`, `"complete"`, `"error"`) stored in `message.text` as JSON
|
||||
2. When cancelled mid-operation, the status stays `"generating"` forever—no one updates it
|
||||
3. To detect cancellation, check TWO conditions:
|
||||
- `!isLast` — if this message is no longer the last message, something else happened after it (interrupted)
|
||||
- `lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task" || "resume_completed_task"` — task was just cancelled and is waiting to resume
|
||||
|
||||
**Example from `generate_explanation`:**
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const wasCancelled =
|
||||
explanationInfo.status === "generating" &&
|
||||
(!isLast ||
|
||||
lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task" ||
|
||||
lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_completed_task")
|
||||
const isGenerating = explanationInfo.status === "generating" && !wasCancelled
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why both checks?**
|
||||
- `!isLast` catches: cancelled → resumed → did other stuff → this old message is stale
|
||||
- `lastModifiedMessage?.ask === "resume_task"` catches: just cancelled, hasn't resumed yet, this message is still technically "last"
|
||||
|
||||
**See also:** `BrowserSessionRow.tsx` uses similar pattern with `isLastApiReqInterrupted` and `isLastMessageResume`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Backend side:** When streaming is cancelled, clean up properly (close tabs, clear comments, etc.) by checking `taskState.abort` after the streaming function returns.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debug Harness: clear inherited VSCode/Electron env vars before launching
|
||||
|
||||
The debug harness (`apps/vscode/src/dev/debug-harness/server.ts`) launches a child
|
||||
VSCode via Playwright's `_electron.launch({ env: { ...process.env, ... } })`. If you
|
||||
run the harness from a process that was itself spawned by VSCode (e.g. the Cline
|
||||
extension host, an integrated terminal, or an agent running inside VSCode), the
|
||||
parent's VSCode/Electron env vars leak into the child and break the launch.
|
||||
|
||||
The fatal one is **`ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1`**: it makes the child VSCode binary run
|
||||
as plain Node, so it rejects every VSCode CLI flag. Symptom:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.../Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Code: bad option: --extensionDevelopmentPath=...
|
||||
Error: Process failed to launch! (Playwright _electron.launch)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is NOT the macOS Playwright flakiness mentioned in the harness README — it's
|
||||
env inheritance. Fix: strip the inherited vars before starting the harness:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
env -u ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE -u ELECTRON_NO_ATTACH_CONSOLE \
|
||||
-u VSCODE_CLI -u VSCODE_CODE_CACHE_PATH -u VSCODE_CRASH_REPORTER_PROCESS_TYPE \
|
||||
-u VSCODE_CWD -u VSCODE_ESM_ENTRYPOINT -u VSCODE_HANDLES_UNCAUGHT_ERRORS \
|
||||
-u VSCODE_IPC_HOOK -u VSCODE_NLS_CONFIG -u VSCODE_PID -u VSCODE_L10N_BUNDLE_LOCATION \
|
||||
bun src/dev/debug-harness/server.ts --auto-launch --skip-build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Check your own env with `env | grep -iE 'electron|vscode_'` first; `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1`
|
||||
present means you must scrub before launching.
|
||||
|
||||
Other harness notes confirmed in practice:
|
||||
- The extension host is **ESM** (`VSCODE_ESM_ENTRYPOINT`), so `ext.evaluate` has no
|
||||
`require` and module-internal functions aren't reachable as globals. To inspect
|
||||
internal builders (e.g. `buildBedrockProviderConfig`), set a breakpoint with
|
||||
`ext.set_breakpoint` and read locals via `ext.evaluate` with the paused `callFrameId`
|
||||
— don't try to `require()` the bundle.
|
||||
- `web.evaluate` wraps the expression as a single returned expression; multi-statement
|
||||
snippets must be an IIFE `(() => { ...; return x; })()`, otherwise you get
|
||||
`SyntaxError: Unexpected token ';'`.
|
||||
- Webview settings inputs are `vscode-text-field` web components with debounced React
|
||||
onChange. Setting `.value` + dispatching events via `web.evaluate` is unreliable for
|
||||
some fields; focus the inner shadow `input` then use real keystrokes (`ui.type` +
|
||||
`ui.press Tab`, or click the dropdown option) to make the value persist.

# Networking & Proxy Support
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure Cline works correctly in all environments (VSCode, JetBrains, CLI) and with various network configurations (especially corporate proxies), strictly follow these guidelines for all network activity.
|
||||
|
||||
In extension code, do NOT use the global `fetch` or a default `axios` instance. (Note, `shared/net.ts` is exempt from these rules because it sets up the fetch wrappers.) In Webview code, you SHOULD use global `fetch`.
|
||||
|
||||
Global `fetch` and default `axios` do not automatically pick up proxy configurations in all environments (specifically JetBrains and CLI). You MUST use the provided utilities in `@/shared/net` which handle proxy agent configuration. In the webview, the browser/embedder handles proxies.
|
||||
|
||||
## Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Using `fetch`
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of `fetch(...)`, import the proxy-aware wrapper:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { fetch } from '@/shared/net'
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage is identical to global fetch
|
||||
const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Using `axios`
|
||||
|
||||
When using `axios`, you must apply the settings from `getAxiosSettings()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import axios from 'axios'
|
||||
import { getAxiosSettings } from '@/shared/net'
|
||||
|
||||
const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data', {
|
||||
headers: { 'Authorization': '...' },
|
||||
...getAxiosSettings() // <--- CRITICAL: Injects the proxy agent if needed
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Third-Party Clients (OpenAI, Ollama, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
Most API client libraries allow you to customize the `fetch` implementation. You **MUST** pass the proxy-aware `fetch` to these clients.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example (OpenAI):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import OpenAI from "openai"
|
||||
import { fetch } from "@/shared/net"
|
||||
|
||||
this.client = new OpenAI({
|
||||
apiKey: '...',
|
||||
fetch, // <--- CRITICAL: Pass our fetch wrapper
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Use `mockFetchForTesting` to mock the underlying fetch implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example (callback):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
import { mockFetchForTesting } from "@/shared/net"
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
let mockFetch = ...
|
||||
mockFetchForTesting(mockFetch, () => {
|
||||
// This calls mockFetch
|
||||
fetch('https://foo.example').then(...)
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Original fetch is restored immediately when the call returns.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example (Promise):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|

1. Check `@/shared/net.ts` is imported.
|

2. Ensure `fetch` or `getAxiosSettings` is being used.

# SDK Adapter
|
||||
|
||||
The VSCode extension runs on the Cline SDK (`@cline/core`, `@cline/llms`,
|
||||
`@cline/shared`) through an adapter layer in `apps/vscode/src/sdk/`. The
|
||||
webview still talks gRPC; the adapter translates between gRPC handlers and SDK
|
||||
calls. See `apps/vscode/src/dev/debug-harness/README.md` for the debug harness.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Look up SDK APIs, don't guess.** Use `kb_search(name="sdk", query="...")`
|
||||
before implementing against an SDK surface.
|
||||
2. **Reference the pre-SDK implementation when replacing a module.** Add a
|
||||
`// Replaces classic src/core/... (see origin/main)` header and use
|
||||
`kb_search(name="cline", commit="origin/main")` or
|
||||
`git show origin/main:path` to consult the prior implementation.
|
||||
3. **Single entry point.** There is one codepath — the SDK adapter. No
|
||||
`CLINE_SDK` env flag.
|
||||
4. **Use `{appBaseUrl}`**, never hardcode `app.cline.bot`.
|
||||
5. **Avoid `as` casts.** Use explicit conversion functions with tests. The
|
||||
branded types in `apps/vscode/src/sdk/model-catalog/contracts.ts` exist so
|
||||
casts are unnecessary outside parse/compute boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debug harness
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dismiss the Kanban/promo overlay** before any debug harness interaction.
|
||||
- **Use the command palette** to navigate tabs in the debug harness.

# Storage Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Global settings, secrets and workspace state are stored in **file-backed JSON stores** under `~/.cline/data/`. This is the shared storage layer used by VSCode, CLI, and JetBrains.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Abstractions
|
||||
|
||||
### `StorageContext` (src/shared/storage/storage-context.ts)
|
||||
The entry point. Created via `createStorageContext()` and passed to `StateManager.initialize()`. Contains three `ClineFileStorage` instances:
|
||||
- `globalState` → `~/.cline/data/globalState.json`
|
||||
- `secrets` → `~/.cline/data/secrets.json` (mode 0o600)
|
||||
- `workspaceState` → `~/.cline/data/workspaces/<hash>/workspaceState.json`
|
||||
|
||||
### `ClineFileStorage` (src/shared/storage/ClineFileStorage.ts)
|
||||
Synchronous JSON key-value store backed by a single file. Supports `get()`, `set()`, `setBatch()`, `delete()`. Writes are atomic (write-then-rename).
|
||||
|
||||
### `StateManager` (src/core/storage/StateManager.ts)
|
||||
In-memory cache on top of `StorageContext`. All runtime reads hit the cache; writes update cache immediately and debounce-flush to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚠️ Do NOT Use VSCode's ExtensionContext for Storage
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not** read from or write to `context.globalState`, `context.workspaceState`, or `context.secrets` for persistent data. These are VSCode-specific and not available on CLI or JetBrains.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, use:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Reading state
|
||||
StateManager.get().getGlobalStateKey("myKey")
|
||||
StateManager.get().getSecretKey("mySecretKey")
|
||||
StateManager.get().getWorkspaceStateKey("myWsKey")
|
||||
|
||||
// Writing state
|
||||
StateManager.get().setGlobalState("myKey", value)
|
||||
StateManager.get().setSecret("mySecretKey", value)
|
||||
StateManager.get().setWorkspaceState("myWsKey", value)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that your data may be read by a different client than the one that wrote it. For example, a value written by Cline in JetBrains may be read by Cline CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
## VSCode Migration (src/hosts/vscode/vscode-to-file-migration.ts)
|
||||
|
||||
On VSCode startup, a migration copies data from VSCode's `ExtensionContext` storage into the file-backed stores. This runs in `src/common.ts` before `StateManager.initialize()`.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sentinel**: `__vscodeMigrationVersion` key in global state and workspace state — prevents re-migration.
|
||||
- **Merge strategy**: File store wins. Existing values are never overwritten.
|
||||
- **Safe downgrade**: VSCode storage is NOT cleared, so older extension versions still work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding New Storage Keys
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add to `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts` (see existing patterns)
|
||||
2. Read/write via `StateManager` (NOT via `context.globalState`)
|
||||
3. If adding a secret, add to `SecretKeys` array in `state-keys.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
## File Layout

||||

||||

||||

# Address PR Comments
|
||||
|
||||
Review and address all comments on the current branch's PR.
|
||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the current branch name and find the associated PR:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr view --json number,title,body
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Understand the PR context:
|
||||
- Get the full diff: `git diff origin/main...HEAD`
|
||||
- Read the changed files to understand what the PR is doing
|
||||
- Read related files if needed to understand the broader context
|
||||
- Understand the intent and spirit of the changes, not just the code
|
||||
|
||||
3. Fetch all PR comments:
|
||||
- Inline comments: `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments`
|
||||
- General comments: `gh pr view {pr_number} --json comments,reviews`
|
||||
|
||||
4. Present a summary of all comments with your recommendation for each (apply, skip, or respond). Ignore bot noise (release automation, CI status, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Wait for my approval** before proceeding.
|
||||
|
||||
6. After approval:
|
||||
- Apply code changes and commit
|
||||
- Reply to comments that were addressed or intentionally skipped
|
||||
- Push commits

We have a changeset PR that automatically generated as new unreleased PRs are merged into main, the PR is always called "Changeset version bump" and the author is github-actions.
|
||||
|
||||
The Changeset PR description looks something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<changeset-pr-description>
|
||||
This PR was opened by the [Changesets release](https://github.com/changesets/action) GitHub action. When you're ready to do a release, you can merge this and publish to npm yourself or [setup this action to publish automatically](https://github.com/changesets/action#with-publishing). If you're not ready to do a release yet, that's fine, whenever you add more changesets to main, this PR will be updated.

|
||||
</changeset-pr-description>
|
||||
|
||||
The changeset pr is ALWAYS on the following branch: `changeset-release/main`.
|
||||
|
||||
I have the `gh` command line tool set up and authenticated, so you have everything you need.
|
||||
|
||||
The first step is to get the full diff from the changeset PR to look at the changes that were automatically made to the `CHANGELOG.md` file. By default it will automatically add a new section to the changelog.md file with the new version. The problem with the automatically generated section is that it just takes the text that the developers threw into their changeset files for each corresponding PR, and they can be pretty vague and bad. Additionally there's some stuff that is totally irrelevant for the end user, like minor refactoring changes. So I manually typically go in and update this section to be a proper changelog that will show up in our patchnotes. You can look at how the rest of the file is done because those are all good examples of us updating this to use good language for the end user. We usually put new features up top (and the most exciting flagship features at the very top), and then bug fixes/improvements at the bottom. Having some basic organization to the ordering of the bullet points by content is nice. But use common sense.
|
||||
|
||||
To handle this process effectively, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
For each of the automatically generated bullet points in the Changelog.md, you should
|
||||
1. Take the commit hash at the start of the bullet point, and use the `gh` command line tool find the PR that it was associated with.
|
||||
2. Use the `gh` command to get the PR title/description/discussion to understand the context surrounding the PR.
|
||||
3. Use the `gh` command line tool to get the full PR diff to fully understand the changes made in the code.
|
||||
4. Synthesize that knowledge to determine (a) whether or not this change is relevant to end users and (b) what the text & ordering of the line should be.
|
||||
5. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` accordingly
|
||||
|
||||
Do this for every single item in the list from the autogenerated bullet points. We want to be diligent and have a full understanding of every feature so we can make the best changelog ever!
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some principles for good changelogs from keepchangelog.com, a handy guide:
|
||||
|
||||
<keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
|
||||
### Guiding Principles
|
||||
- Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
|
||||
- There should be an entry for every single version.
|
||||
- The same types of changes should be grouped.
|
||||
- The latest version comes first.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bullet points in the changelog should follow these principles:
|
||||
- Types of changes
|
||||
- Added for new features.
|
||||
- Changed for changes in existing functionality.
|
||||
- Deprecated for soon-to-be removed features.
|
||||
- Removed for now removed features.
|
||||
- Fixed for any bug fixes.
|
||||
- Security in case of vulnerabilities.
|
||||
</keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, when developers make a PR, they typically make a changeset. And they have 3 options when making the changeset:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Patch
|
||||
2. Minor
|
||||
3. Major
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes they label something as minor when really it should just be a patch. Or vice versa. Because of this, the automatic version bump may be incorrect. So when starting out this workflow, you should use the <ask_followup_question> tool to confirm with me whether or not this should be a patch bump (show the old version number and what the proposed new version number would be) or a minor bump. Part of the release process is making sure the version in package.json that is automatically changed actually corresponds with what we decided the bump should actually be based on the features. ALL these modifications happen in the `changeset-release/main` branch btw.
|
||||
|
||||
<important_note>
|
||||
Before doing any of this, make sure you check out the `changeset-release/main` and pull the most recent up to date changes. Then perform all this work in that branch.
|
||||
|
||||
New announcement banners should ONLY be made for minor version bumps or higher. That's another reason why double checking if the changelog warrants the bump is important.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, SUPER important: For any external contributors that aren't part of the cline github organization, we always want to add a (Thanks @username!) at the end of the changelog to attribute them properly. We're an open source project and it's ethical to do this.
|
||||
</important_note>
|
||||
|
||||
Once the changelog looks good, and the version number looks good, we gotta double check that the version number in the changelog has the brackets around it. And as a final step, double check the package.json version number matches the latest number in the changelog. And as the ultimate final step we run `npm run install:all` to make sure the package version number permiates through the lock file.

# Cline Release Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
|
||||
|
||||
## Before Starting
|
||||
1. First, examine the changeset PR without checking it out:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr view changeset-release/main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. View the PR diff to see the auto-generated CHANGELOG.md changes:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr diff changeset-release/main > changeset-diff.txt
|
||||
cat changeset-diff.txt | grep -A 50 "CHANGELOG.md"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Setup
|
||||
3. Once you're ready to start, checkout and update the changeset release branch:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout changeset-release/main
|
||||
git pull origin changeset-release/main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Analyzing Each Change
|
||||
4. For each commit hash in the auto-generated changelog entries:
|
||||
|
||||
a. Find the PR number associated with a commit hash:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr list --search "<commit-hash>" --state merged
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
b. Get PR details for better context:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr view <PR-number>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
c. Check if the contributor is external to determine if attribution is needed:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Extract username from PR
|
||||
USERNAME=$(gh pr view <PR-number> --json author --jq .author.login)
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if user is a member of the Cline organization
|
||||
# this command is a bit finnicky, but it 100% works.
|
||||
# if you see a `Error executing command: The command ran successfully, but we couldn't capture its output. Please proceed accordingly.` error, just retry it until you actually get the output
|
||||
# don't make any assumptions, just retry the command to actually get the output and determine if they're external or not.
|
||||
# no output means they are an external contributor, otherwise if there is output they are an internal contributor (part of our github org)
|
||||
gh api "orgs/cline/members" --jq "map(.login)" | grep -i "pashpashpash"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
d. View the full PR diff to understand code changes:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh pr diff <PR-number> > pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
|
||||
cat pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating the Changelog
|
||||
5. Based on PR analysis, update the CHANGELOG.md with user-friendly descriptions:
|
||||
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the CHANGELOG.md file
|
||||
- Group by feature type (Added, Changed, Fixed)
|
||||
- Put most exciting features at the top
|
||||
- Move bug fixes and small improvements to the bottom
|
||||
- Use clear, end-user focused language
|
||||
- For external contributors, add attribution at the end of the relevant entry: `(Thanks @username!)`
|
||||
|
||||
## Version Number Verification
|
||||
6. Confirm the version bump is appropriate:
|
||||
- Check package.json to verify the auto-generated version number:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat package.json | grep "\"version\""
|
||||
```
|
||||
- If the feature set doesn't warrant a minor bump, use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to modify package.json
|
||||
|
||||
7. Ensure the version in CHANGELOG.md has brackets around it:
|
||||
```
|
||||
## [3.16.0]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating the Announcement (for minor/major versions only)
|
||||
8. If this is a minor version bump, create/update the announcement component:
|
||||
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the src/views/components/announcement.tsx file
|
||||
- Update the highlights based on key features
|
||||
- Move previous version highlights to the "Previous Updates" section
|
||||
- Use the previous announcement components as reference for structure
|
||||
|
||||
## Finalizing the Release
|
||||
9. Update dependencies with the new version number:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run install:all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
10. Commit your changes:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add CHANGELOG.md package.json package-lock.json src/views/components/announcement.tsx
|
||||
git commit -m "Update CHANGELOG.md and announcement for version 3.16.0"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
11. Push your changes to the changeset branch:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git push origin changeset-release/main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
12. Check that your changes pushed successfully:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git status
|
||||
```

# Find Best Reviewers for Current Branch
|
||||
|
||||
Analyze my current branch to find the best people to review my PR based on **domain expertise** and git history.
|
||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the current branch name and verify it's not `main`
|
||||
2. Get the diff between the current branch and `origin/main`:
|
||||
- Use `git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only` to get changed files
|
||||
- Use `git diff origin/main...HEAD` to understand the nature/spirit of the changes
|
||||
3. **Identify the domain/feature area** being changed:
|
||||
- Read the diff carefully to understand WHAT is being changed conceptually (e.g., "slash commands", "authentication", "API client", "UI components")
|
||||
- This semantic understanding is crucial for finding the right reviewers
|
||||
4. Find domain experts by searching for related files and their contributors:
|
||||
- Identify all files related to the feature/domain (not just the ones changed)
|
||||
- Example: if changing slash commands, find ALL slash-command related files across the codebase
|
||||
- Use `git log --format="%an <%ae>" -- <related-files-pattern>` to find who has expertise in that domain
|
||||
5. For additional context, also gather:
|
||||
- `git blame -L <start>,<end> origin/main -- <file-path>` for exact lines changed
|
||||
- Recent commit activity on related files
|
||||
6. Score and rank contributors by:
|
||||
- **Highest weight: Domain expertise** - who has the most commits to files in this feature area (even files not touched by this PR)
|
||||
- **Medium weight: Direct file expertise** - commits to the specific files being changed
|
||||
- **Lower weight: Line-level ownership** - authored the exact lines being modified
|
||||
7. Exclude myself (check against my git config user.email)
|
||||
8. Present the top 5 reviewers as an ordered list
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Format
|
||||
|
||||
Output an ordered list:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Name** - Domain expert: 15 commits to slash-command related files, authored core parsing logic
|
||||
2. **Name** - 8 commits to affected files, recently added the feature being modified
|
||||
3. ...
|
||||
|
||||
## Commands Reference
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git config user.email
|
||||
git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only
|
||||
git diff origin/main...HEAD
|
||||
# Find related files for a domain (adjust pattern based on what you learn from the diff)
|
||||
find . -type f \( -name "*slash-command*" -o -name "*SlashCommand*" \) | head -20

||||
git blame -L 10,20 origin/main -- <file>

||||
|
||||
Do NOT ask questions - analyze the changes, identify the domain, and output the reviewer list.

# Hotfix Release
|
||||
|
||||
Create a hotfix release by cherry-picking specific commits from main onto the latest release tag.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow helps you:
|
||||
1. Select specific commits from main to include in a hotfix
|
||||
2. Create a release notes commit on main (changelog + version bump)
|
||||
3. Cherry-pick everything onto the latest release tag
|
||||
4. Tag and push the new release
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Setup and Gather Information
|
||||
|
||||
First, ensure we're on main and up to date:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout main && git pull origin main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get the latest release tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Present Commits Since Last Release
|
||||
|
||||
Show all commits on main since the last release tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
|
||||
git log ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD --oneline --format="%h %s (%an)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also get the commit messages already on the tag (to identify previously cherry-picked commits). Note: Run these as separate commands to avoid shell parsing issues with parentheses in author names:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
|
||||
PREV_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -2 | tail -1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git log $PREV_TAG..$LAST_TAG --oneline --format="%s"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Present the list** to the user in a numbered format with commit hash, subject, and author. For any commits whose subject line already appears in the tag's history (previously cherry-picked in an earlier hotfix) or are "Release Notes" commits, add `(already in previous hotfix)` or `(release notes - skip)` after them so the user knows to skip those.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask which commits to include in the hotfix.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the ask_followup_question tool to let the user specify which commits they want (by number or hash).
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Analyze Selected Commits
|
||||
|
||||
For each selected commit:
|
||||
1. Get the full commit message: `git show --no-patch --format="%B" <hash>`
|
||||
2. Get the diff to understand the change: `git show <hash> --stat`
|
||||
3. Find the associated PR if any: `gh pr list --search "<hash>" --state merged --json number,title --jq '.[0]'`
|
||||
|
||||
Build a mental model of what these changes do for the changelog.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4: Determine New Version Number
|
||||
|
||||
Parse the current version from package.json and the last tag:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
|
||||
echo "Last release: $LAST_TAG"
|
||||
cat package.json | grep '"version"'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Hotfixes always increment the patch version (e.g., 3.40.0 -> 3.40.1, or 3.40.1 -> 3.40.2).
|
||||
|
||||
**Ask the user to confirm the new version number.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5: Create Release Notes Commit on Main
|
||||
|
||||
On the main branch, create a commit that updates:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **CHANGELOG.md** - Add a new section for the hotfix version at the top:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## [3.40.1]
|
||||
|
||||
- Description of fix 1
|
||||
- Description of fix 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Write clear, user-friendly descriptions based on your analysis of the commits.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **package.json** - Update the version field to the new version
|
||||
|
||||
3. No changelog-entry file cleanup is needed. Contributors do not create changelog-entry files in this repo.
|
||||
|
||||
**No dependency install is needed.** A CHANGELOG + `version` bump does not change any dependency, and `bun.lock` does not pin workspace-package versions, so the lockfile stays consistent. The publish workflow runs `bun install --frozen-lockfile`, which would *fail* on an out-of-sync lock — so only run `bun install` here if you actually change dependencies (then commit the updated `bun.lock`).
|
||||
|
||||
Commit with message format: `v{VERSION} Release Notes (hotfix)`
|
||||
|
||||
In the commit body, mention:
|
||||
- This is for a hotfix release
|
||||
- List the cherry-picked commits that will be included
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add CHANGELOG.md package.json
|
||||
git commit -m "v3.40.1 Release Notes (hotfix)
|
||||
|
||||
Hotfix release including:
|
||||
- <commit1-hash>: <description>
|
||||
- <commit2-hash>: <description>
|
||||
"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Push to main:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git push origin main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6: Build the Hotfix on the Tag
|
||||
|
||||
Checkout the last release tag (detached HEAD):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
|
||||
git checkout $LAST_TAG
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Cherry-pick the selected commits in order:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git cherry-pick <commit1-hash>
|
||||
git cherry-pick <commit2-hash>
|
||||
# ... etc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, cherry-pick the release notes commit you just pushed to main:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get the hash of the release notes commit (should be HEAD of main)
|
||||
RELEASE_NOTES_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse main)
|
||||
git cherry-pick $RELEASE_NOTES_COMMIT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 7: Tag and Push
|
||||
|
||||
After all cherry-picks are applied successfully:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Tag the new release
|
||||
git tag v{VERSION}
|
||||
|
||||
# Push the tag to remote
|
||||
git push origin v{VERSION}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 8: Return to Main and Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Return to main branch:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Copy a Slack announcement message to clipboard** with the version and PR links for each included fix:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
VS Code Hotfix v{VERSION} Published
|
||||
|
||||
- Description of fix 1 https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/{PR_NUMBER}
|
||||
- Description of fix 2 https://github.com/cline/cline/pull/{PR_NUMBER}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Present a final summary:
|
||||
- New version: v{VERSION}
|
||||
- Tag pushed: yes
|
||||
- Commits included: (list them)
|
||||
- Slack message copied to clipboard: yes
|
||||
|
||||
Remind the user to:
|
||||
1. Manually trigger the publish release GitHub Action at: https://github.com/cline/cline/actions/workflows/ext-vscode-publish-stable.yml (paste `v{VERSION}` as the tag)
|
||||
2. Post the Slack message to announce the hotfix
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- This workflow does NOT create a release branch - only tags
|
||||
- The release notes commit goes to main first, then gets cherry-picked to the tag
|
||||
- This keeps main's history accurate while allowing hotfix releases from tags
|
||||
- If cherry-pick conflicts occur, resolve them before continuing

# Release
|
||||
|
||||
Prepare and publish a release directly from `main`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow helps you:
|
||||
1. Select/confirm the target version
|
||||
2. Curate `CHANGELOG.md` entries manually for end users
|
||||
3. Ensure `package.json` version matches the changelog
|
||||
4. Create and push a release commit + tag
|
||||
5. Trigger publish workflow
|
||||
6. Update GitHub release notes and share a summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Process
|
||||
|
||||
### 1) Sync and determine version
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git checkout main
|
||||
git pull origin main
|
||||
cat package.json | grep '"version"'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Confirm the release version with the maintainer (patch/minor/major).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2) Curate changelog and version
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit `CHANGELOG.md` for the target version using human-friendly release notes.
|
||||
- Ensure version headers use bracket format, e.g. `## [3.66.1]`.
|
||||
- Update `package.json` version to the same value.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3) Commit and tag
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add CHANGELOG.md package.json package-lock.json
|
||||
git commit -m "v<version> Release Notes"
|
||||
git push origin main
|
||||
git tag v<version>
|
||||
git push origin v<version>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4) Trigger publish workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Tell the maintainer to run:
|
||||
https://github.com/cline/cline/actions/workflows/ext-vscode-publish-stable.yml
|
||||
|
||||
Use `v<version>` as the release tag.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5) Update GitHub release notes
|
||||
|
||||
After publish completes:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh release view v<version> --json body --jq '.body'
|
||||
gh release edit v<version> --notes "<final curated release notes>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6) Final summary
|
||||
|
||||
Provide:
|
||||
- Released version/tag
|
||||
- Link to release page
|
||||
- Summary of top end-user changes

# Copilot Instructions for Cline
|
||||
|
||||
This is a VS Code extension. Read `.clinerules/general.md` for tribal knowledge and nuanced patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
- **Core** (`src/`): `extension.ts` → `WebviewProvider` → `Controller` (single source of truth) → `Task` (agent loop).
|
||||
- **Webview** (`webview-ui/`): React/Vite app. State via `ExtensionStateContext.tsx`, synced through message passing.
|
||||
- **Communication**: Protobuf-defined gRPC-like protocol over VS Code message passing. Schemas in `proto/`.
|
||||
- **MCP**: `src/services/mcp/McpHub.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build & Test (Critical — non-obvious commands)
|
||||
- **Build**: `bun run compile` — NOT `bun run build`.
|
||||
- **Watch**: `bun run watch` (extension + webview).
|
||||
- **Protos**: `bun run protos` — run **immediately** after any `.proto` change. Generates into `src/shared/proto/`, `src/generated/`.
|
||||
- **Tests**: `bun run test:unit`. After prompt/tool changes: `UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=true bun run test:unit`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Protobuf RPC Workflow (4 steps)
|
||||
1. **Define** in `proto/cline/*.proto`. Naming: `PascalCaseService`, `camelCase` RPCs, `PascalCase` Messages. Use `common.proto` shared types for simple data.
|
||||
2. **Generate**: `bun run protos`.
|
||||
3. **Backend handler**: `src/core/controller/<domain>/`.
|
||||
4. **Frontend call**: `UiServiceClient.myMethod(Request.create({...}))`.
|
||||
- Adding enums (e.g. `ClineSay`) → also update `src/shared/proto-conversions/cline-message.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding API Providers (silent failure risk)
|
||||
Three proto conversion updates are **required** or the provider silently resets to Anthropic:
|
||||
1. `proto/cline/models.proto` — add to `ApiProvider` enum.
|
||||
2. `convertApiProviderToProto()` in `src/shared/proto-conversions/models/api-configuration-conversion.ts`.
|
||||
3. `convertProtoToApiProvider()` in the same file.
|
||||
|
||||
Also update: `src/shared/api.ts`, `src/shared/providers/providers.json`, `src/core/api/index.ts`, `webview-ui/.../providerUtils.ts`, `webview-ui/.../validate.ts`, `webview-ui/.../ApiOptions.tsx`.
|
||||
|
||||
For Responses API providers: add to `isNextGenModelProvider()` in `src/utils/model-utils.ts` and set `apiFormat: ApiFormat.OPENAI_RESPONSES` on models.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding Tools to System Prompt (5+ file chain)
|
||||
1. Add enum to `ClineDefaultTool` in `src/shared/tools.ts`.
|
||||
2. Create definition in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/` (export `[GENERIC]` minimum).
|
||||
3. Register in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/tools/init.ts`.
|
||||
4. Whitelist in `src/core/prompts/system-prompt/variants/*/config.ts` for each model family.
|
||||
5. Handler in `src/core/task/tools/handlers/`, wire in `ToolExecutor.ts`.
|
||||
6. If tool has UI: add `ClineSay` enum in proto → `ExtensionMessage.ts` → `cline-message.ts` → `ChatRow.tsx`.
|
||||
7. Regenerate snapshots: `UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=true bun run test:unit`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Modifying System Prompt
|
||||
Modular: `components/` (shared) + `variants/` (model-specific) + `templates/` (`{{PLACEHOLDER}}`). Variants override components via `componentOverrides` in `config.ts` or custom `template.ts`. XS variant is heavily condensed inline. Always regenerate snapshots after changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Global State Keys (silent failure risk)
|
||||
Adding a key requires updating the typed storage definitions in `src/shared/storage/state-keys.ts`; runtime reads and writes should go through `StateManager`, not VS Code `ExtensionContext` storage. Persistent state is file-backed so it works across VS Code, CLI, and JetBrains hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Slash Commands (3 places)
|
||||
- `src/core/slash-commands/index.ts` — definitions.
|
||||
- `src/core/prompts/commands.ts` — system prompt integration.
|
||||
- `webview-ui/src/utils/slash-commands.ts` — webview autocomplete.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conventions
|
||||
- **Paths**: Always use `src/utils/path` helpers (`toPosixString`) for cross-platform compatibility.
|
||||
- **Logging**: `src/shared/services/Logger.ts`.
|
||||
- **Feature flags**: See PR #7566 as reference pattern.
