etch_erlang

Erlang target package for etch — a Gleam TUI backend library.

This package provides the Erlang FFI implementations for terminal raw mode and input handling. It must be used alongside the core etch package.

Installation

gleam add etch_erlang

Usage

The package exposes two modules:

• etch/erlang/tty — Raw mode control and terminal information:

  • enter_raw, exit_raw, is_raw_mode
  • window_size

• etch/erlang/input — Event-driven input handling:

  • init_event_server, poll, read
  • get_cursor_position, get_keyboard_enhancement_flags

import etch/erlang/tty
import etch/erlang/input

pub fn main() {
  let assert Ok(_) = tty.enter_raw()
  input.init_event_server()
  // ... handle events ...
}
