Copy link

🤖 AI Assistant Analysis

To manually trigger terminal updates in the provided codebase, you can use the TriggerUpdate or TriggerUpdateWithMsg methods from the Skeleton struct. These methods are designed to force the Skeleton to refresh its state and re-render the terminal.

Here’s how you can do it:


1. Using TriggerUpdate

The TriggerUpdate method is used to trigger a generic update without any specific message. This is useful when you want to refresh the terminal without passing additional context.

Example:

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()

// Add pages, widgets, or other setup here...

// Trigger a manual update
skeleton.TriggerUpdate()

2. Using TriggerUpdateWithMsg

The TriggerUpdateWithMsg method allows you to send a specific message along with the update. This is useful when you want to trigger an update with additional context or data.

Example:

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()

// Add pages, widgets, or other setup here...

// Trigger a manual update with a custom message
skeleton.TriggerUpdateWithMsg(skeleton.UpdateMsgInstance)

3. Where to Use These Methods

You can use these methods in scenarios where you need to refresh the terminal due to external events or changes in state. For example:

  • After updating a widget value.
  • After dynamically adding or removing pages.
  • In response to external events like file changes, network updates, etc.

Example with Widget Update:

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()

// Add a widget
skeleton.AddWidget("time", "12:00 PM")

// Update the widget value
skeleton.UpdateWidgetValue("time", "12:01 PM")

// Trigger a manual update to refresh the terminal
skeleton.TriggerUpdate()

4. Integration with External Events

If you want to trigger updates based on external events (e.g., a timer or a file watcher), you can use a goroutine to periodically call TriggerUpdate.

Example with Timer:

go func() {
    for {
        time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
        skeleton.UpdateWidgetValue("time", time.Now().Format("15:04:05"))
        skeleton.TriggerUpdate()
    }
}()

5. Relevant Code References

The TriggerUpdate and TriggerUpdateWithMsg methods are defined in the Skeleton struct in skeleton.go:

func (s *Skeleton) TriggerUpdate() {
    s.updater.Update()
}

func (s *Skeleton) TriggerUpdateWithMsg(msg tea.Msg) {
    s.updater.UpdateWithMsg(msg)
}

These methods internally use the Updater struct to send update messages to the Skeleton.


By using these methods, you can manually trigger terminal updates whenever needed, ensuring that the UI reflects the latest state.

🤖 AI Assistant Analysis

To manually trigger terminal updates or actions in the provided codebase, you can utilize the TriggerUpdate and TriggerUpdateWithMsg methods of the Skeleton struct. These methods are designed to notify the Updater to refresh the terminal view or handle specific messages. Below is a detailed explanation of how to use these methods effectively.

Overview

The Skeleton struct includes an Updater instance that listens for update signals. By calling TriggerUpdate or TriggerUpdateWithMsg, you can manually send signals to refresh the terminal or pass custom messages for specific updates.

Triggering Terminal Updates

TriggerUpdate

This method is used to trigger a general update of the terminal. It sends a predefined UpdateMsg to the Updater, which then refreshes the terminal view.

Code Example:

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()
// Perform some operations...
skeleton.TriggerUpdate() // Refresh the terminal

When to Use:

  • Use this method when you want to refresh the terminal view without sending any specific message.
  • For example, after updating widgets, tabs, or other UI elements.

TriggerUpdateWithMsg

This method allows you to send a custom message to the Updater. The message can be any type and is processed by the Update method of the Skeleton struct.

Code Example:

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()
customMsg := "Custom Update Message"
skeleton.TriggerUpdateWithMsg(customMsg) // Send a custom message

When to Use:

  • Use this method when you need to pass specific information or commands to the terminal.
  • For example, when adding or deleting pages, updating widgets, or handling custom events.

How the Updater Works

The Updater listens for messages on a channel (rcv) and triggers the appropriate actions based on the received message. The Listen method of the Updater is called during the initialization of the Skeleton to start listening for updates.

Relevant Code:

type Updater struct {
    rcv       chan any
    listening bool
    mu        sync.Mutex
}

func (u *Updater) Listen() tea.Cmd {
    u.mu.Lock()
    defer u.mu.Unlock()

    if u.listening {
        return nil
    }

    u.listening = true

    return func() tea.Msg {
        msg := <-u.rcv
        u.mu.Lock()
        u.listening = false
        u.mu.Unlock()
        return msg
    }
}

func (u *Updater) Update() {
    select {
    case u.rcv <- UpdateMsgInstance:
        // Successfully sent
    default:
        // Channel is full, skip update
    }
}

func (u *Updater) UpdateWithMsg(msg any) {
    select {
    case u.rcv <- msg:
        // Successfully sent
    default:
        // Channel is full, skip update
    }
}

Practical Examples and Use Cases

Example 1: Refreshing the Terminal After Widget Update

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()
skeleton.AddWidget("time", "12:00 PM")
skeleton.UpdateWidgetValue("time", "12:01 PM")
skeleton.TriggerUpdate() // Refresh the terminal to reflect the updated widget

Example 2: Sending a Custom Message

type CustomMsg struct {
    Key   string
    Value string
}

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()
msg := CustomMsg{Key: "status", Value: "Updated"}
skeleton.TriggerUpdateWithMsg(msg) // Send a custom message to the terminal

Example 3: Handling Page Deletion

skeleton := skeleton.NewSkeleton()
skeleton.AddPage("example", "Example Page", exampleModel)
skeleton.DeletePage("example")
skeleton.TriggerUpdate() // Refresh the terminal after deleting the page

    func (s *Skeleton) TriggerUpdateWithMsg(msg tea.Msg) {
        s.updater.UpdateWithMsg(msg)
    }
  • The Updater struct in updater.go handles the actual update logic:
    func (u *Updater) Update() {
        select {
        case u.rcv <- UpdateMsgInstance:
            // Successfully sent
        default:
            // Channel is full, skip update
        }
    }

Practical Use Cases

  1. Refreshing Widgets: If you have a widget displaying dynamic data (e.g., time or system stats), you can update its value and trigger a refresh.

    skeleton.UpdateWidgetValue("cpu_usage", "75%")
    skeleton.TriggerUpdate()
  2. Switching Tabs: After programmatically switching tabs, you can trigger a refresh to ensure the new tab is displayed.

    skeleton.SetActivePage("memory")
    skeleton.TriggerUpdate()
  3. Custom Events: If you have custom events or messages that need to be processed by the terminal, use TriggerUpdateWithMsg to send them.

    skeleton.TriggerUpdateWithMsg(MyCustomEvent{})

By using these methods, you can manually control when the terminal UI is updated, ensuring a responsive and dynamic user experience.

🤖 AI Assistant Analysis

To manually trigger terminal updates or interactions in the Skeleton framework, you can use the TriggerUpdate or TriggerUpdateWithMsg methods provided by the Skeleton struct. These methods allow you to programmatically signal the framework to refresh the terminal or process a specific message.

Triggering Terminal Updates

1. Using TriggerUpdate

The TriggerUpdate method is used to signal the framework to refresh the terminal without any additional context or message. This is useful when you want to update the terminal's state after making changes to the UI, such as adding a new widget or updating a tab.

Example:

package main

import (
	"time"
	"github.com/termkit/skeleton"
)

func main() {
	s := skeleton.NewSkeleton()

	// Add a widget to display the current time
	s.AddWidget("time", time.Now().Format("15:04:05"))

	// Periodically update the time widget
	go func() {
		for {
			time.Sleep(time.Second)
			s.UpdateWidgetValue("time", time.Now().Format("15:04:05"))
			s.TriggerUpdate() // Manually trigger the terminal update
		}
	}()

	// Start the program
	if err := tea.NewProgram(s).Start(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

2. Using TriggerUpdateWithMsg

The TriggerUpdateWithMsg method allows you to send a specific message to the framework while triggering an update. This is useful when you want to pass additional context or data along with the update.

Example:

package main

import (
	"github.com/termkit/skeleton"
)

func main() {
	s := skeleton.NewSkeleton()

	// Add a new tab
	s.AddPage("example", "Example Tab", skeleton.NewSkeleton())

	// Trigger an update with a custom message
	s.TriggerUpdateWithMsg(skeleton.AddPageMsg{
		Key:   "example",
		Title: "Example Tab",
		Page:  skeleton.NewSkeleton(),
	})

	// Start the program
	if err := tea.NewProgram(s).Start(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Practical Use Cases

  • Dynamic Widget Updates: Use TriggerUpdate to refresh the terminal after updating widget values.
  • Custom Messages: Use TriggerUpdateWithMsg to send specific messages, such as adding or deleting tabs, while triggering an update.
  • Real-Time Data: Combine these methods with goroutines to handle real-time data updates, such as system monitoring or live feeds.

Relevant Code References

  • TriggerUpdate: Defined in skeleton.go, line 37.
  • TriggerUpdateWithMsg: Defined in skeleton.go, line 41.

Best Practices

  • Use TriggerUpdate for simple refreshes without additional context.
  • Use TriggerUpdateWithMsg when you need to pass specific data or context along with the update.
  • Avoid excessive use of these methods in tight loops to prevent performance issues.

By leveraging these methods, you can manually control terminal updates and ensure your TUI remains responsive and up-to-date.

🤖 AI Assistant Analysis

To manually trigger the terminal in the context of the provided Skeleton framework, you would typically need to invoke a method or function that causes the terminal to refresh or update its display. This can be done by sending a message or command that the main event loop of the application can process to redraw the terminal. Here's how you can achieve this in the Skeleton framework:

Triggering Terminal Update

  1. Using the Updater: The Skeleton framework includes an Updater component designed to facilitate updates across the application. You can use this component to trigger an update manually.

    • Send Update Message: You can send an UpdateMsg to the Updater's channel, which will then be processed by the application's main loop.
updater := skeleton.NewUpdater()
updater.Update() // This sends an UpdateMsg to the channel
  1. Directly through the Program: If you are using the Bubble Tea framework, you can directly trigger a model update by calling the Update method on your model, passing in a custom message that your model knows how to handle.

    • Define a Custom Message: First, define a custom message type that your application's model will recognize.
type RefreshScreenMsg struct {}
  • Update Method Handling: Ensure your model's Update method can handle this message.
func (m *Model) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
    switch msg.(type) {
    case RefreshScreenMsg:
        // Add logic to refresh the screen
        return m, nil
    }
    return m, nil
}
  • Trigger the Update: You can then send this message through the program's update loop.
p := tea.NewProgram(model)
p.Send(RefreshScreenMsg{})

Practical Example

In a practical scenario, such as a terminal-based application using the Skeleton framework, you might want to refresh the UI when new data is received or after a user action. By integrating the manual trigger as described, you can ensure that the terminal reflects the most current state of the application.

Code References

  • The Updater logic is implemented in updater.go, which handles asynchronous messages for UI updates.
  • The main application loop and model updates are typically handled in files where your main tea.Program is set up, such as main.go or similar.

🤖 AI Assistant Analysis

To manually trigger the terminal in the Skeleton library, you can utilize the TriggerUpdate method provided by the Skeleton struct. This method is designed to send an update message to the terminal, prompting it to refresh its display. Below is a detailed explanation of how to implement this:

Overview

The TriggerUpdate method is part of the Skeleton's updater mechanism, which allows the terminal to refresh its content based on the current state of the application. This is particularly useful when you want to ensure that the terminal reflects any changes made to the models or widgets.

Implementation Steps

  1. Create a Skeleton Instance: First, you need to create an instance of the Skeleton struct.
  2. Call TriggerUpdate: Whenever you want to refresh the terminal, simply call the TriggerUpdate method on your Skeleton instance.

Example Code

Here’s a simple example demonstrating how to trigger the terminal manually:

package main

import (
	"github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea"
	"github.com/termkit/skeleton"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	// Create a new Skeleton instance
	s := skeleton.NewSkeleton()

	// Add a page or widget as needed
	s.AddPage("example", "Example Page", nil)

	// Start a goroutine to update the terminal periodically
	go func() {
		for {
			time.Sleep(2 * time.Second) // Wait for 2 seconds
			s.TriggerUpdate() // Trigger terminal update
		}
	}()

	// Start the Bubble Tea program
	if err := tea.NewProgram(s).Start(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Explanation of the Code

  • Skeleton Instance: The skeleton.NewSkeleton() creates a new instance of the Skeleton.
  • Triggering Updates: The TriggerUpdate method is called inside a goroutine that sleeps for 2 seconds, ensuring that the terminal is refreshed every 2 seconds.
  • Bubble Tea Program: Finally, the tea.NewProgram(s).Start() starts the Bubble Tea program, which will handle the rendering of the terminal.

Practical Use Cases

  • Dynamic Content: Use TriggerUpdate when your application has dynamic content that changes over time, such as a system monitor displaying CPU or memory usage.
  • User Interaction: If your application requires user interaction that modifies the state, calling TriggerUpdate ensures that the terminal reflects these changes immediately.

Conclusion

The TriggerUpdate method is a powerful tool for managing the terminal's display in real-time applications built with the Skeleton library. By integrating this method into your application logic, you can create responsive and interactive terminal applications.
