bitburner-scripts VS tui-rs

I'll submit it to bitburner-scripts once I test it.

There's always auto-win.js if you want to skip the boring part between the beginning and the end.

Too late, I already came across https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-scripts — My version of custom-stats.js wasn't running for the screenshot.

There are some neat official example scripts to be found at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-scripts, which you can use as-is, expand upon, or use as learning material.

You can find an official example script doing exactly this at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-scripts, look for monitor.js. And of course feel free to check out the other scripts as well, even if the script's functionality isn't what you're looking for, I often find inspiration or learn new things from checking out other people's scripts.

If you're an impatient person like I am, and wanna know what's happening on a server that you're targeting, and to give an idea of if anything is happening the following is super super handy for that monitor.js

Script looks good. Maybe for a first upgrade you can transition from using a const at the top to using args to pass in the value you want to use. You can start simple with just using ns.args[0] so when you call your script like “run myscript.js 1000000000” it will run till that number. If you wanted to get fancy you could use ns.flags like in this script to set a default value or have like 1 flag to make it a constant target and another flag to make it only spend some percentage of your current cash.

lastly just to show a use case that i find very helpful this is a snippet from hydroflame's github scripts

The TUI is built with the awesome Ratatui [0] library (formerly tui-rs [1]). UX is certainly not my area of expertise and I would not have been able to create Trippy without this library.

Rust has great libraries for TUIs. tui-rs (https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) has been used in numerous popular applications, but is unmaintained. ratatui (https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) is the maintained version, and is pretty new. Less widely known is cursive (https://github.com/gyscos/cursive), which I have yet to try.

Aside from the libraries, I just wanted to start a project that would make be better at Rust. The easy distribution with cargo is a huge bonus though.

CLI, use Clap. If you want to get fancy, use Tui.

u/lordnacho666 It uses the fabulous https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs (now revived as https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) TUI lib.

This app is based on the these two crate in rust (tui-rs , tui-textarea). The text area provide the Emacs motions and I integrated the vim motions there, but the editor in this app as much simpler than the huge VIM and Emacs systems

If you interested in the TUI apps in rust you can start with the crate tui-rs or its revival ratatui. They have examples inside of them which you can start and see the source code to get the basic functionalities. For the text editor you can check examples in the crate tui-textarea.

For Golang there is Bubbletea [1], Textual [2] for Python and tui-rs for Rust [3].

You can check tui-rs, is a library to build CLI interfaces and has some examples about using user input without blocking the UI
