Catalog App

Catalog application is showing various ways how Terminal UI Framework can be used. In this section we discuss how this application works. It can be considered to be a reference application as it’s using most of the features available and tries to follow best practices.

Create Scenario

Every Scenario essentially is a sample code of a View as that’s what catalog app demonstrates. In the sample app create a new scenario class under scenario package and implement it as something shown below.

@ScenarioComponent(
		name = "Scenario name",
		description = "Scenario short description",
		category = { Scenario.CATEGORY_OTHER })
public class SampleScenario extends AbstractScenario {

	@Override
	public View build() {
		return new BoxView();
	}
}

You need to define all fields, name, description and category with @ScenarioComponent.
