Is there any general purpose framework can build hybrid command line and GUI app like KUI #7867

The idea of kui is awesome and I am just wondering is there any general purpose UI framework that can build the tools like kui does.

Howdy! Can you help me to understand better what you are suggesting? Kui has a plugin model, and so in a way is such a framework. But I think you are asking something different? Thanks!

link89 commented 3 years ago

Yeah. I think what makes KUI great is its UX design that it combines the best qualities of both command line and GUI. What I want to know is there any general purpose framework that allow me to build web app with similar experience of KUI.

KUI is a terminal app based on Electron. So here is a framework for building terminal apps with Electron: https://hyper.is/ Also this one too: https://www.electronjs.org/apps/extraterm And this one: https://github.com/mflorence99/el-term Oh and this one too: https://xtermjs.org/

@link89 I'm still not sure what you are after. 🤔 Can you help me to understand your use case, so we can see if it fits into Kui's existing extension/enhancement mechanisms?

Kui does have a set of APIs that let you consume Kui's core features as npm modules (e.g. npm install @kui-shell/core). You may then extend Kui, by adding custom commands (e.g. to enhance your own CLI), or by customizing the theming (e.g. to use a custom app icon, custom colors, custom application name).

An example of doing this is in the "AnimalApp" app located here. With this approach, you can customize Kui without having to clone&own anything. You may then create our own double-clickable downloads, or a docker container for hosted client-server deployments.

The Kui wiki has additional detail on creating custom Kui clients.

As to @kferrone's comment. These are all great projects! The goal of Kui is to provide graphical enhancement to the command execution model of terminals. So, with Kui you may "attach" command handlers to the read-eval-print loop of the terminal, and instead of presenting ASCII responses, you may do ... other things, such as provide arbitrary React responses, or table responses or tabular/multi-tab responses, etc.

We have externalized the example client into a github template repo: https://github.com/kui-shell/KuiClientTemplate
