CommunityBuild fast interactive CLIs with React.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Ink helps you create interactive command-line user interfaces without abandoning React patterns, so you can build responsive terminals with menus, forms, and real-time updates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Terminal UI rendering with React: Use Ink components to build terminal dashboards and layouts with JSX and Flexbox-style composition.
- Keyboard-driven interactivity: Handle user input for navigation (arrows/tab), forms, and exit flows using Ink’s terminal hooks.
- Production-ready terminal UX patterns: Implement common CLI behaviors like wizards, progress indicators, spinners, selectable lists, and static log rendering.
Example use case: Create a multi-step setup wizard for a developer tool where users move between fields with Tab, submit with Enter, and show progress/spinner states during validation.
Quick Start
Use this skill to build an interactive Ink terminal UI by creating a React App component and rendering it with Ink’s render() while wiring input handlers for selection and quitting.
