SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides the fundamental building blocks and rendering logic for the R-DOS terminal user interface, ensuring consistent and correct display of various UI elements like modals, dialogs, and lists.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • UI Component Library: Offers pre-built components such as ModalFrame, FullScreenView, LogViewer, TabBar, and InputField.
  • Rendering Logic: Includes essential guidance on how to use these components, particularly the critical distinction between ModalFrame and FullScreenView to prevent application panics.
  • Theming: Enforces the use of ThemeColors for consistent styling across the application, avoiding hardcoded color values.
  • Use Case: When developing a new plugin for R-DOS that requires displaying a confirmation dialog, you would use the ModalFrame component and its associated rendering functions, ensuring it's correctly sized and positioned.

Quick Start

Use the rdos-ui-components skill to render a confirmation dialog using ModalFrame.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Rust terminal UI without causing application panics?

To prevent rendering panics in Rust terminal UIs, strictly distinguish between modal dialogs and full-screen views. Using full-screen components where modals are required causes application panics, so follow specific rendering guidelines for each component type.

How do I add a confirmation dialog to a Rust TUI application?

Add a confirmation dialog to a Rust TUI application by using a modal frame component. This ensures the dialog is correctly sized, positioned, and rendered as an overlay without disrupting the underlying terminal view.

What is the best way to style Rust TUI components consistently?

Style Rust TUI components consistently by enforcing a centralized theming system. Applying dedicated theme colors across all UI elements prevents styling inconsistencies and avoids the pitfalls of using hardcoded color values.

Does this UI component library support tab navigation and log viewers?

Yes, this UI component library supports tab navigation and log viewers. It provides pre-built components like tab bars and log viewers to handle terminal rendering patterns and interactive user input navigation.

Why does my Rust terminal application crash when rendering a dialog?

Your Rust terminal application likely crashes due to incorrect component usage, such as implementing a full-screen view instead of a modal frame. Strict rendering guidelines must be followed to prevent these specific application panics.
