ink

React for CLIs. Build and test your CLI output using components.

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

Since Ink is a React renderer, all features of React are supported. Head over to the React website for documentation on how to use it. Only Ink's methods are documented in this readme.
