# Demo
|
|
|
|

# Usage
|
|
|
|
* Simplest example
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/chzyer/readline"
|
|
|
|
rl, err := readline.New("> ")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
defer rl.Close()
|
|
|
|
for {
|
|
line, err := rl.Readline()
|
|
if err != nil { // io.EOF
|
|
break
|
|
}
|
|
println(line)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Example with durable history
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
rl, err := readline.NewEx(&readline.Config{
|
|
Prompt: "> ",
|
|
HistoryFile: "/tmp/readline.tmp",
|
|
})
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
defer rl.Close()
|
|
|
|
for {
|
|
line, err := rl.Readline()
|
|
if err != nil { // io.EOF
|
|
break
|
|
}
|
|
println(line)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Example with auto refresh
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"log"
|
|
"github.com/chzyer/readline"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
rl, err := readline.New("> ")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
panic(err)
|
|
}
|
|
defer rl.Close()
|
|
log.SetOutput(l.Stderr()) // let "log" write to l.Stderr instead of os.Stderr
|
|
|
|
go func() {
|
|
for _ = range time.Tick(time.Second) {
|
|
log.Println("hello")
|
|
}
|
|
}()
|
|
|
|
for {
|
|
line, err := rl.Readline()
|
|
if err != nil { // io.EOF
|
|
break
|
|
}
|
|
println(line)
|
|
}
|
|
```

# Shortcut
|
|
|
|
`Meta`+`B` means press `Esc` and `n` separately.
|
|
Users can change that in terminal simulator(i.e. iTerm2) to `Alt`+`B`
