Span entire terminal width

[vincentfiestada]

Is there a way for lipgloss to style text so that it spans the entire width of the terminal? I would like to render some text so that it's right-aligned on the terminal.

The only way I found yet was to fetch a WindowSizeMsg (if using Lipgloss with Bubbletea, ymmv) and set the width accordingly.

You can retrieve the dimensions of the terminal using https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/term#GetSize and supply these values to lipgloss's Width and Height methods.

You just need to make sure, that they're changed when the terminal is resized.

If you're writing a proper TUI, yes. In that case (and if you're using Bubble Tea) you indeed want to adjust your model to listen for WindowSizeMsgs being emitted.

Thanks. For some reason using term.GetSize inside a PowerShell prompt causes an error, but I think it has more to do with how PowerShell draws its prompt. I ended up passing $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width as an argument instead.
