CLIDE is an extendable command-line driven development environment written in Rust using the Qt UI framework that supports both full and headless Linux environments.
|
||||
The GUI is written in QML compiled through Rust using the cxx-qt crate, while the TUI was implemented using the ratatui crate.
|
||||
|
||||
It's up to you to build your own development environment for your tools.
|
||||
To add tools for your purposes, create a plugin that implements the `ClidePlugin` trait. (This is currently under development and not yet available.)
|
||||
It's up to you to build your own development environment for your tools. Plugins are planned to be supported in the future for bringing your own language-specific tools or features.
|
||||
Once you've created your plugin, you can submit a pull request to add a link to the git repository for your plugin to the final section in this README if you'd like to contribute.
|
||||
|
||||
The following packages must be installed before the application will build.

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To install and run clide
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://git.shaunreed.com/shaunrd0/clide
|
||||
cd clide
|
||||
cargo install --path .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After installation `clide` can be used directly
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
clide --help
|
||||
|
||||
Extendable command-line driven development environment written in Rust using the Qt UI framework.
|
||||
If no flags are provided, the GUI editor is launched in a separate process.
|
||||
If no path is provided, the current directory is used.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage: clide [OPTIONS] [PATH]
|
||||
|
||||
Arguments:
|
||||
[PATH] The root directory for the project to open with the clide editor
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
-t, --tui Run clide in headless mode
|
||||
-g, --gui Run the clide GUI in the current process, blocking the terminal and showing all output streams
|
||||
-h, --help Print help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### TUI
|
||||
|
||||
The TUI is implemented using the ratatui crate and has the typical features you would expect from a text editor.
|
||||
You can browse your project tree, open / close new editor tabs, and save / reload files.
|
||||
Controls for the TUI are listed at the bottom of the window, and update depending on which widget you have focused.
|
||||
For now, there are no language-specific features or plugins available for the TUI – it is only a text editor.
|
||||
|
||||
To run the TUI, pass the `-t` or `--tui` flags.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# With cargo from the project root
|
||||
cargo run -- -t
|
||||
# Or via clide directly after installation
|
||||
clide -t
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### GUI
|
||||
|
||||
The GUI is still in development. It is at this point a text viewer, instead of a text editor.
|
||||
There are many placeholder buttons and features in the GUI that do nothing when used.
|
||||
|
||||
The GUI is run by default when executing the `clide` application.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# With cargo from the project root
|
||||
cargo run
|
||||
# Or via clide directly after installation
|
||||
clide
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
It's recommended to use RustRover or Qt Creator for development.
