go-fuzzyfinder
go-fuzzyfinder is a Go library that provides fuzzy-finding with an fzf-like terminal user interface.
Installation
$ go get github.com/ktr0731/go-fuzzyfinder
Usage
go-fuzzyfinder provides two functions, Find and FindMulti.
FindMulti can select multiple lines. It is similar to fzf -m.
This is an example of FindMulti.
type Track struct {
Name string
AlbumName string
Artist string
}
var tracks = []Track{
{"foo", "album1", "artist1"},
{"bar", "album1", "artist1"},
{"foo", "album2", "artist1"},
{"baz", "album2", "artist2"},
{"baz", "album3", "artist2"},
}
func main() {
idx, err := fuzzyfinder.FindMulti(
tracks,
func(i int) string {
return tracks[i].Name
},
fuzzyfinder.WithPreviewWindow(func(i, w, h int) string {
if i == -1 {
return ""
}
return fmt.Sprintf("Track: %s (%s)\nAlbum: %s",
tracks[i].Name,
tracks[i].Artist,
tracks[i].AlbumName)
}))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("selected: %v\n", idx)
}
The execution result prints selected item's indexes.
Motivation
Fuzzy-finder command-line tools such that fzf, fzy, or skim are very powerful to find out specified lines interactively. However, there are limits to deal with fuzzy-finder's features in several cases.
First, it is hard to distinguish between two or more entities that have the same text. In the example of ktr0731/itunes-cli, it is possible to conflict tracks such that same track names, but different artists. To avoid such conflicts, we have to display the artist names with each track name. It seems like the problem has been solved, but it still has the problem. It is possible to conflict in case of same track names, same artists, but other albums, which each track belongs to. This problem is difficult to solve because pipes and filters are row-based mechanisms, there are no ways to hold references that point list entities.
The second issue occurs in the case of incorporating a fuzzy-finder as one of the main features in a command-line tool such that enhancd or itunes-cli.
Usually, these tools require that it has been installed one fuzzy-finder as a precondition.
In addition, to deal with the fuzzy-finder, an environment variable configuration such that export TOOL_NAME_FINDER=fzf is required.
It is a bother and complicated.
go-fuzzyfinder resolves above issues.
Dealing with the first issue, go-fuzzyfinder provides the preview-window feature (See an example in Usage).
Also, by using go-fuzzyfinder, built tools don't require any fuzzy-finders.

Overview ¶
Package fuzzyfinder provides terminal user interfaces for fuzzy-finding.
Note that, all functions are not goroutine-safe.

Examples ¶
Constants ¶
const ( // ModeSmart enables a smart matching. It is the default matching mode. // At the beginning, matching mode is ModeCaseInsensitive, but it switches // over to ModeCaseSensitive if an upper case character is inputted. ModeSmart mode = iota // ModeCaseSensitive enables a case-sensitive matching. ModeCaseSensitive // ModeCaseInsensitive enables a case-insensitive matching. ModeCaseInsensitive )
const ( CursorPositionBottom cursorPosition = iota CursorPositionTop )
Variables ¶
var ( // ErrAbort is returned from Find* functions if there are no selections. ErrAbort = errors.New("abort") )
Functions ¶
func Find ¶
Find displays a UI that provides fuzzy finding against the provided slice. The argument slice must be of a slice type. If not, Find returns an error. itemFunc is called by the length of slice. previewFunc is called when the cursor which points to the currently selected item is changed. If itemFunc is nil, Find returns an error.
itemFunc receives an argument i, which is the index of the item currently selected.
Find returns ErrAbort if a call to Find is finished with no selection.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
fuzzyfinder "github.com/ktr0731/go-fuzzyfinder"
)
func main() {
slice := []struct {
id string
name string
}{
{"id1", "foo"},
{"id2", "bar"},
{"id3", "baz"},
}
idx, _ := fuzzyfinder.Find(slice, func(i int) string {
return fmt.Sprintf("[%s] %s", slice[i].id, slice[i].name)
})
fmt.Println(slice[idx]) // The selected item.
}
Output:
Example (PreviewWindow) ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
fuzzyfinder "github.com/ktr0731/go-fuzzyfinder"
)
func main() {
slice := []struct {
id string
name string
}{
{"id1", "foo"},
{"id2", "bar"},
{"id3", "baz"},
}
idx, _ := fuzzyfinder.Find(
slice,
func(i int) string {
return fmt.Sprintf("[%s] %s", slice[i].id, slice[i].name)
},
fuzzyfinder.WithPreviewWindow(func(i, width, _ int) string {
if i == -1 {
return "no results"
}
s := fmt.Sprintf("%s is selected", slice[i].name)
// As an example of using width, if the window width is less than
// the length of s, we return the name directly.
if width < len([]rune(s)) {
return slice[i].name
}
return s
}))
fmt.Println(slice[idx]) // The selected item.
}
Output:
func FindMulti ¶
FindMulti is nearly the same as Find. The only difference from Find is that the user can select multiple items at once, by using the tab key.
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
fuzzyfinder "github.com/ktr0731/go-fuzzyfinder"
)
func main() {
slice := []struct {
id string
name string
}{
{"id1", "foo"},
{"id2", "bar"},
{"id3", "baz"},
}
idxs, _ := fuzzyfinder.FindMulti(slice, func(i int) string {
return fmt.Sprintf("[%s] %s", slice[i].id, slice[i].name)
})
for _, idx := range idxs {
fmt.Println(slice[idx])
}
}
Output:
Types ¶
type Option ¶
type Option func(*opt)
Option represents available fuzzy-finding options.
func WithContext ¶ added in v0.8.0
WithContext enables closing the fuzzy finder from parent.
func WithCursorPosition ¶ added in v0.6.0
func WithCursorPosition(position cursorPosition) Option
WithCursorPosition sets the initial position of the cursor
func WithHeader ¶ added in v0.5.0
WithHeader enables to set the header.
func WithHotReload
deprecated
added in
v0.2.0
func WithHotReload() Option
WithHotReload reloads the passed slice automatically when some entries are appended. The caller must pass a pointer of the slice instead of the slice itself.
Deprecated: use WithHotReloadLock instead.
func WithHotReloadLock ¶ added in v0.6.0
WithHotReloadLock reloads the passed slice automatically when some entries are appended. The caller must pass a pointer of the slice instead of the slice itself. The caller must pass a RLock which is used to synchronize access to the slice. The caller MUST NOT lock in the itemFunc passed to Find / FindMulti because it will be locked by the fuzzyfinder. If used together with WithPreviewWindow, the caller MUST use the RLock only in the previewFunc passed to WithPreviewWindow.
func WithMode ¶
func WithMode(m mode) Option
WithMode specifies a matching mode. The default mode is ModeSmart.
func WithPreviewWindow ¶
WithPreviewWindow enables to display a preview for the selected item. The argument f receives i, width and height. i is the same as Find's one. width and height are the size of the terminal so that you can use these to adjust a preview content. Note that width and height are calculated as a rune-based length.
If there is no selected item, previewFunc passes -1 to previewFunc.
If f is nil, the preview feature is disabled.
func WithPromptString ¶ added in v0.2.1
WithPromptString changes the prompt string. The default value is "> ".
func WithSelectOne ¶ added in v0.8.0
func WithSelectOne() Option
WithQuery enables to set the initial query.
type TerminalMock ¶
type TerminalMock struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
TerminalMock is a mocked terminal for testing. Most users should use it by calling UseMockedTerminal.
Example ¶
// Initialize a mocked terminal.
term := fuzzyfinder.UseMockedTerminalV2()
keys := "foo"
for _, r := range keys {
term.InjectKey(tcell.KeyRune, r, tcell.ModNone)
}
term.InjectKey(tcell.KeyEsc, rune(tcell.KeyEsc), tcell.ModNone)
slice := []string{"foo", "bar", "baz"}
_, _ = fuzzyfinder.Find(slice, func(i int) string { return slice[i] })
// Write out the execution result to a temp file.
// We can test it by the golden files testing pattern.
//
// See https://speakerdeck.com/mitchellh/advanced-testing-with-go?slide=19
result := term.GetResult()
_ = ioutil.WriteFile("ui.out", []byte(result), 0600)
Output:
func UseMockedTerminal ¶

func (m *TerminalMock) SetEventsV2(events ...tcell.Event)
SetEventsV2 sets all events, which are fetched by pollEvent. A user of this must set the EscKey event at the end.
func (*TerminalMock) SetSize ¶
func (m *TerminalMock) SetSize(w, h int)
SetSize changes the pseudo-size of the window. Note that SetSize resets added cells.
