Cursor Example

Some examples of how to use the cursor variable.

import { text, cursor } from "https://deno.land/x/ansi_esc@v1.0.0/mod.ts"

// Move cursor in directions (up, down, foward, backwards)
await cursor.up(10);
await cursor.down(5);

// Clear Screen
await cursor.clearScreen();

// Move to specific position
await cursor.moveTo(5, 10);

TODO

  • Add a mode to automatically reset after a line.
  • Implement write("string", "foreground", "background") function.
  • Add cursor show and hide functions.
