Yunfei He 222b520678 feat: add useWindowSize alias, terminal-size fallback, update public API + README
- useWindowSize alias for useTerminalSize (Ink API naming parity)
- terminal-size fallback when stdout.columns/rows are 0/missing
- Public API test covers all new exports
- README documents all MountOptions and composables

# @vue-tui/runtime
Vue-idiomatic terminal renderer in the spirit of [React Ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink). Platform-specific runtime parallel to `@vue/runtime-dom`.
## Install
```bash
pnpm add @vue-tui/runtime vue
```
## Quickstart
```ts
import { defineComponent, h, ref } from "vue";
import { createApp, Box, Text, useInput } from "@vue-tui/runtime";
const Counter = defineComponent({
setup() {
const count = ref(0);
useInput((input) => {
if (input === "+") count.value++;
if (input === "-") count.value--;
});
return () => h(Box, null, h(Text, null, `Count: ${count.value}`));
},
});
createApp(Counter).mount();
```
## API
Single entry point — `createApp(root, rootProps?)`. Returns a `TuiApp` (`Omit<VueApp<TuiNode>, "mount">` plus four TUI methods).
```ts
import { createApp } from "@vue-tui/runtime";
const app = createApp(App, { initialState }).use(myPlugin).provide(themeKey, dark);
app.mount(); // all defaults (process.*)
app.mount({ debug: true }); // just flags
app.mount({ stdout: customWritable }); // partial stream override
app.mount({ stdout, stdin, stderr }); // explicit streams (testing)
await app.waitUntilExit();
app.unmount(); // optional — see "Cleanup" below
```
### Cleanup
`mount()` registers a `process.on("exit")` listener that runs the same teardown
as `unmount()`. So you only need `app.unmount()` if you want to tear down the
app before the process is ready to exit (mid-program, in tests, or when one
process hosts multiple UIs sequentially). For a normal CLI that exits when the
user quits or the script ends, cleanup happens automatically.
### `TuiApp` interface
```ts
interface TuiApp extends VueApp<TuiNode> {
mount(options?: MountOptions): ComponentPublicInstance;
unmount(): void;
waitUntilExit(): Promise<void>;
}
interface MountOptions {
stdout?: NodeJS.WriteStream; // default: process.stdout
stdin?: NodeJS.ReadStream; // default: process.stdin
stderr?: NodeJS.WriteStream; // default: process.stderr
debug?: boolean; // default: false
exitOnCtrlC?: boolean; // default: true
rawMode?: boolean; // default: true when interactive
interactive?: boolean; // default: true (false if in CI or !stdout.isTTY)
patchConsole?: boolean; // default: true (disabled in debug mode)
maxFps?: number; // default: ~30fps (32ms)
onRender?: (info: { renderTime: number }) => void;
isScreenReaderEnabled?: boolean; // default: false (true when INK_SCREEN_READER=true)
}
```
All fields optional with per-field fallback.
### Components
`Box`, `Text`, `Newline`, `Spacer`, `Static`, `Transform`.
### Composables
`useExit`, `useInput`, `useFocus`, `useFocusManager`, `useStdin`, `useStdout`, `useStderr`, `useTerminalSize` / `useWindowSize`, `useCursor`, `useAnimation`, `useBoxMetrics` / `measureElement`, `usePaste`, `useIsScreenReaderEnabled`.
Tab / Shift+Tab / Escape are handled automatically when any component uses `useFocus`. `useFocus` returns `{ isFocused, focus }` and manages raw mode. `useFocusManager` exposes `activeId` in addition to `focusNext` / `focusPrevious` / `focus` / `enableFocus` / `disableFocus`.
## Waiting on exit / handling errors
```ts
// Fire-and-forget (most common):
createApp(App).mount();
// Wait for the app to exit:
const app = createApp(App);
app.mount();
await app.waitUntilExit();
// Catch errors thrown from setup / render / useExit(err):
const app = createApp(App);
app.mount();
app.waitUntilExit().catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
process.exitCode = 1;
});
```
