# Cursive Examples

Here are example programs using Cursive to help you getting familiar with the
various aspects of the library.

To run an example, use `cargo run --example EXAMPLE_NAME`.

## [`hello_world`](hello_world.rs)

Simplest example possible, it will show you the starting point of a basic
Cursive application.

## [`dialog`](dialog.rs)

This example wraps the text in a `Dialog` view, showing the basic idea of view
composition.

## [`lorem`](lorem.rs)

This example loads a large text file to show scrolling behaviour. It also
includes greek and japanese characters to show non-ascii support.

## [`edit`](edit.rs)

Here we have an `EditView` to get input from the user, and use that input in
the next view. It shows how to identify a view with an name and refer to it
later.

## [`mutation`](mutation.rs)

This example modifies the content of an existing view.

## [`linear`](linear.rs)

This example uses a `LinearView` to put multiple views side-by-side.

## [`menubar`](menubar.rs)

Here we learn how to create a menubar at the top of the screen, and populate
it with static and dynamic entried.

## [`logs`](logs.rs)

This example defines a custom view to display asynchronous input from a
channel.

## [`key_codes`](key_codes.rs)

This example uses a custom view to print any input received. Can be used as a
debugging tool to see what input the application is receiving.

## [`select`](select.rs)

This example uses a `SelectView` to have the user pick a city from a long list.

## [`list_view`](list_view.rs)

This shows a use of a `ListView`, used to build simple forms.

## [`radio`](radio.rs)

This shows how to use `RadioGroup` and `RadioButton`.
