* feat(list): implement GlobalIndex helper This commit introduces a new `filteredItem` field called `index` which stores the index of the filtered item in the unfiltered list. This allows to get at runtime the unfiltered list index for the selected (and possibly filtered) item. This is the only solution I found to use `SetItem` with a filtered list. The name `GlobalIndex` might not be ideal, I'm happy to change it to something else. (`UnfilteredIndex`?) Fixes: #550 * docs(list): improve Index() documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most commonly asked questions regarding the list bubble.
Adding Custom Items
There are a few things you need to do to create custom items. First off, they
need to implement the list.Item and list.DefaultItem interfaces.
// Item is an item that appears in the list.
type Item interface {
// FilterValue is the value we use when filtering against this item when
// we're filtering the list.
FilterValue() string
}
// DefaultItem describes an item designed to work with DefaultDelegate.
type DefaultItem interface {
Item
Title() string
Description() string
}
You can see a working example in our Kancli project built explicitly for a tutorial on lists and composite views in Bubble Tea.
Customizing Styles
Rendering (and behavior) for list items is done via the
ItemDelegate
interface. It can be a little confusing at first, but it allows the list to be
very flexible and powerful.
If you just want to alter the default style you could do something like:
import "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/list"
// Create a new default delegate
d := list.NewDefaultDelegate()
// Change colors
c := lipgloss.Color("#6f03fc")
d.Styles.SelectedTitle = d.Styles.SelectedTitle.Foreground(c).BorderLeftForeground(c)
d.Styles.SelectedDesc = d.Styles.SelectedTitle.Copy() // reuse the title style here
// Initailize the list model with our delegate
width, height := 80, 40
l := list.New(listItems, d, width, height)
// You can also change the delegate on the fly
l.SetDelegate(d)
This code would replace this line in the list-default
example.
For full control over the way list items are rendered you can also define your
own ItemDelegate too (example).
