Ink is React for CLIs. It is designed to provide that same component-based UI building experience that React provides, only this time for command-line apps. So if you already know React, then you should know Ink. Apart from being built for CLIs, one other key difference between the two is that with Ink, the rendering doesn’t result in a DOM but a string, which Ink writes to the output.

Ink is a React renderer, so all features of React are supported. Dozens of projects currently use Ink. You can check it out live on https://ink-counter-demo.vadimdemedes.repl.run/

Features

  • Supports all React features
  • Uses Yoga - a Flexbox layout engine
  • Plenty of useful hooks
