Readline is A Pure Go Implementation of a libreadline-style Library.  
The goal is to be a powerful alternater for GNU-Readline.


**WHY:**
Readline will support most of features which GNU Readline is supported, and provide a pure go environment and a MIT license.

It can also provides shell-like interactives by using [flagly](https://github.com/chzyer/flagly) (demo: [flagly-shell](https://github.com/chzyer/flagly/blob/master/demo/flagly-shell/flagly-shell.go))

# Demo

![demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chzyer/readline/assets/demo.gif)

Also works fine in windows

![demo windows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chzyer/readline/assets/windows.gif)


* [example/readline-demo](https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/example/readline-demo/readline-demo.go) The source code about the demo above

* [example/readline-im](https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/example/readline-im/readline-im.go) Example for how to write a IM program.

* [example/readline-multiline](https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/example/readline-multiline/readline-multiline.go) Example for how to parse command which can submit by multiple time.

* [example/readline-pass-strength](https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/example/readline-pass-strength/readline-pass-strength.go) A example about checking password strength, written by [@sahib](https://github.com/sahib)

# Todo
* Vi Mode is not completely finish
* More funny examples
* Support dumb/eterm-color terminal in emacs

# Features
* Support emacs/vi mode, almost all basic features that GNU-Readline is supported
* zsh-style backward/forward history search
* zsh-style completion
* Readline auto refresh when others write to Stdout while editing (it needs specify the Stdout/Stderr provided by *readline.Instance to others).
* Support colourful prompt in all platforms.

# Usage

* Import package

```
go get gopkg.in/readline.v1
```

or

```
go get github.com/chzyer/readline
```

* Simplest example

```go
import "gopkg.in/readline.v1"

rl, err := readline.New("> ")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
defer rl.Close()

for {
	line, err := rl.Readline()
	if err != nil { // io.EOF, readline.ErrInterrupt
		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, readline.ErrInterrupt
		break
	}
	println(line)
}
```

* Example with auto completion

```go
import (
	"gopkg.in/readline.v1"
)

var completer = readline.NewPrefixCompleter(
	readline.PcItem("say",
		readline.PcItem("hello"),
		readline.PcItem("bye"),
	),
	readline.PcItem("help"),
)

rl, err := readline.NewEx(&readline.Config{
	Prompt:       "> ",
	AutoComplete: completer,
})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
defer rl.Close()

for {
	line, err := rl.Readline()
	if err != nil { // io.EOF, readline.ErrInterrupt
		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`  
Notice: `Meta`+`B` is equals with `Alt`+`B` in windows.
