terminal

This package contains a handful of utility functions for interacting with the terminal.

Migrating from v0.0.1

The initial release of this package performed all initialization in init(), assuming that only a single terminal was available and providing no ability to disable initialization (for example, during tests or debugging).

An example usage prior to v0.1.0 may have looked something like

import (
  "github.com/superhawk610/terminal"
)

func main() {
  terminal.ClearLine()
  terminal.Overwritef("Hello, %s", "world")
}

To perform the same operations post-v0.1.0, simply add an explicit Terminal initialization:

import (
  "github.com/superhawk610/terminal"
)

func main() {
  t := terminal.New()

  t.ClearLine()
  t.Overwritef("Hello, %s", "world")
}

If you'd like to emulate the old behaviour, you can simply initialize the Terminal in an init() block in your own code.
