### Initialize Readline and View Keyboard Shortcuts in Go

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Demonstrates the basic initialization of a readline instance and lists the supported keyboard shortcuts for line editing and navigation. The example uses the NewInstance method to configure the prompt and provides a reference for user interaction.

```Go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt: "> ",
    })
    defer rl.Close()

    fmt.Println("Keyboard shortcuts available:")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+A / Home    - Move to line start")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+E / End     - Move to line end")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+B / Left    - Move cursor left")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+F / Right   - Move cursor right")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+Left        - Move word left")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+Right       - Move word right")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+K           - Delete to end of line")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+U           - Delete to start of line")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+W           - Delete word backward")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+L           - Refresh line")
    fmt.Println("  Up/Down          - Navigate history")
    fmt.Println("  Tab              - Auto-complete")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+C           - Interrupt (returns ErrInterrupt)")
    fmt.Println("  Ctrl+D           - EOF when empty (returns io.EOF)")

    rl.Readline()
}
```

### Implement a Complete CLI Application in Go

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

A comprehensive example showing how to build an interactive CLI with tab completion, command parsing, and error handling. It demonstrates the use of PrefixCompleter for suggestions and a main loop to process user input until an exit command or EOF is received.

```Go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "strings"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    completer := &readline.PrefixCompleter{
        Candidates: []string{
            "help", "version", "status",
            "get users", "get orders", "get config",
            "set debug on", "set debug off",
            "clear", "exit", "quit",
        },
    }

    rl, err := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt:    "\033[36mcli\033[0m> ", // Cyan prompt
        Completer: completer,
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer rl.Close()

    fmt.Println("Welcome to CLI (type 'help' for commands, 'exit' to quit)")

    for {
        line, err := rl.Readline()
        if err != nil {
            if err == readline.ErrInterrupt {
                fmt.Println("^C (use 'exit' to quit)")
                continue
            }
            if err == io.EOF {
                fmt.Println("\nBye!")
                return
            }
            fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
            return
        }

        line = strings.TrimSpace(line)
        if line == "" {
            continue
        }

        switch {
        case line == "help":
            fmt.Println("Commands: help, version, status, get <resource>, set debug <on|off>, clear, exit")
        case line == "version":
            fmt.Println("CLI v1.0.0")
        case line == "status":
            fmt.Println("Status: OK")
        case strings.HasPrefix(line, "get "):
            fmt.Printf("Fetching: %s\n", line[4:])
        case strings.HasPrefix(line, "set "):
            fmt.Printf("Setting: %s\n", line[4:])
        case line == "clear":
            fmt.Print("\033[2J\033[H") // Clear screen
        case line == "exit" || line == "quit":
            fmt.Println("Goodbye!")
            return
        default:
            fmt.Printf("Unknown command: %s\n", line)
        }
    }
}
```

### Create Readline Instance with Configuration

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Initializes a new readline instance using the provided configuration. The `Config` struct allows customization of the prompt, tab completion, history, and I/O streams. If `Config` is nil, default settings (os.Stdin, os.Stdout, in-memory history) are applied.

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    rl, err := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt:    "\033[32m>>>\033[0m ", // Green prompt with ANSI colors
        Completer: &readline.PrefixCompleter{
            Candidates: []string{"help", "exit", "list", "show"},
        },
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer rl.Close()

    fmt.Println("Readline initialized successfully")
    // Instance ready for use with rl.Readline()
}
```

--------------------------------

### Implement Tab Completion with PrefixCompleter

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Demonstrates the use of `PrefixCompleter` for basic tab completion. This completer matches user input against a predefined list of `Candidates`. If the input prefix uniquely matches a candidate, it auto-completes; otherwise, it presents a list of possible matches when the Tab key is pressed.

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    completer := &readline.PrefixCompleter{
        Candidates: []string{
            "help", "history", "exit", "list", "load", "save",
            "connect", "config", "status", "stop", "start",
        },
    }

    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt:    "cmd> ",
        Completer: completer,
    })
    defer rl.Close()

    for {
        line, err := rl.Readline()
        if err == io.EOF {
            break
        }
        fmt.Printf("Command: %s\n", line)
    }
}
// Usage: Type "he" then press Tab -> completes to "help"
// Usage: Type "st" then press Tab -> shows "status", "stop", "start" options
```

### Dynamically Update Prompt String After Instance Creation in Go

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Illustrates how to change the command prompt dynamically after the readline instance has been created using the SetPrompt method. This is useful for reflecting changes in application state, such as user login status or current directory.

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "os"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt: "guest> ",
    })
    defer rl.Close()

    currentUser := "guest"

    for {
        line, err := rl.Readline()
        if err == io.EOF {
            break
        }

        if line == "login admin" {
            currentUser = "admin"
            rl.SetPrompt("\033[31madmin#\033[0m ") // Red prompt for admin
            fmt.Println("Logged in as admin")
        } else if line == "logout" {
            currentUser = "guest"
            rl.SetPrompt("guest> ")
            fmt.Println("Logged out")
        } else if line == "pwd" {
            dir, _ := os.Getwd()
            rl.SetPrompt(fmt.Sprintf("[%s@%s]$ ", currentUser, dir))
        }
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Implement Custom Tab Completion with Completer Interface in Go

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Demonstrates how to implement the Completer interface to provide custom tab completion logic. The Do method analyzes the current input line and cursor position to suggest matching commands or resources. It handles different completion scenarios based on the input.

```go
package main

import (
    "strings"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

type CommandCompleter struct {
    commands  []string
    resources []string
}

func (c *CommandCompleter) Do(line []rune, pos int) ([][]rune, int) {
    currentLine := string(line[:pos])
    words := strings.Fields(currentLine)

    // Complete commands for first word
    if len(words) == 0 || (len(words) == 1 && !strings.HasSuffix(currentLine, " ")) {
        prefix := ""
        if len(words) == 1 {
            prefix = words[0]
        }
        var matches [][]rune
        for _, cmd := range c.commands {
            if strings.HasPrefix(cmd, prefix) {
                matches = append(matches, []rune(cmd))
            }
        }
        return matches, len(prefix)
    }

    // Complete resources for "get" and "delete" commands
    if words[0] == "get" || words[0] == "delete" {
        prefix := ""
        if !strings.HasSuffix(currentLine, " ") && len(words) > 1 {
            prefix = words[len(words)-1]
        }
        var matches [][]rune
        for _, res := range c.resources {
            if strings.HasPrefix(res, prefix) {
                matches = append(matches, []rune(res))
            }
        }
        return matches, len(prefix)
    }

    return nil, 0
}

func main() {
    completer := &CommandCompleter{
        commands:  []string{"get", "set", "delete", "list", "help", "exit"},
        resources: []string{"users", "orders", "products", "config"},
    }

    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt:    "api> ",
        Completer: completer,
    })
    defer rl.Close()

    rl.Readline()
}
// Usage: "get us<Tab>" -> completes to "get users"
// Usage: "del<Tab>" -> completes to "delete"
```

--------------------------------

### Implement Persistent Command History in Go

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Shows how to implement a custom History interface for persistent command history. The PersistentHistory struct saves commands to a file and loads them on startup, ensuring history is maintained across sessions. It uses a mutex for thread-safe access.

```go
package main

import (
    "os"
    "strings"
    "sync"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

// PersistentHistory saves history to a file
type PersistentHistory struct {
    lines    []string
    filepath string
    mu       sync.RWMutex
}

func NewPersistentHistory(path string) *PersistentHistory {
    h := &PersistentHistory{filepath: path, lines: []string{}}
    // Load existing history
    if data, err := os.ReadFile(path); err == nil {
        for _, line := range strings.Split(string(data), "\n") {
            if line != "" {
                h.lines = append(h.lines, line)
            }
        }
    }
    return h
}

func (h *PersistentHistory) Append(line string) {
    h.mu.Lock()
    defer h.mu.Unlock()
    if line == "" || (len(h.lines) > 0 && h.lines[len(h.lines)-1] == line) {
        return
    }
    h.lines = append(h.lines, line)
    // Persist to file
    f, _ := os.OpenFile(h.filepath, os.O_APPEND|os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
    defer f.Close()
    f.WriteString(line + "\n")
}

func (h *PersistentHistory) Get(index int) (string, bool) {
    h.mu.RLock()
    defer h.mu.RUnlock()
    if index < 0 || index >= len(h.lines) {
        return "", false
    }
    return h.lines[index], true
}

func (h *PersistentHistory) Len() int {
    h.mu.RLock()
    defer h.mu.RUnlock()
    return len(h.lines)
}

func main() {
    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt:  "$ ",
        History: NewPersistentHistory("/tmp/shell_history"),
    })
    defer rl.Close()

    rl.Readline() // History persists across sessions
}
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Readline Behavior

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

Defines the `Config` struct used to customize the readline library's behavior. Options include setting the prompt string (with ANSI color support), defining a `Completer` for tab completion, specifying a custom `History` implementation, and overriding default `Stdin` and `Stdout` streams.

```go
package main

import (
    "os"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    cfg := &readline.Config{
        // Prompt displayed before each input line (supports ANSI escape codes)
        Prompt: "\033[34mshell>\033[0m ",

        // Custom completer for tab completion
        Completer: &readline.PrefixCompleter{
            Candidates: []string{"connect", "disconnect", "status", "quit"},
        },

        // Custom History implementation (optional, defaults to in-memory)
        History: readline.NewHistory(),

        // Custom I/O (optional, defaults to os.Stdin/os.Stdout)
        Stdin:  os.Stdin,
        Stdout: os.Stdout,
    }

    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(cfg)
    defer rl.Close()

    // Use rl.Readline() for input
}
```

--------------------------------

### Read User Input with Line Editing

Source: https://context7.com/wjqserver/readline/llms.txt

The primary method for reading a line of text from the terminal with full editing capabilities. It handles keyboard input, updates the display in real-time, and returns the entered line upon pressing Enter. It also handles specific error conditions like `ErrInterrupt` (Ctrl+C) and `io.EOF` (Ctrl+D).

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "github.com/WJQSERVER/readline"
)

func main() {
    rl, _ := readline.NewInstance(&readline.Config{
        Prompt: "> ",
    })
    defer rl.Close()

    for {
        line, err := rl.Readline()
        if err != nil {
            if err == readline.ErrInterrupt {
                fmt.Println("^C")
                continue // User pressed Ctrl+C, continue loop
            }
            if err == io.EOF {
                fmt.Println("\nGoodbye!")
                break // User pressed Ctrl+D, exit
            }
            fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
            break
        }

        fmt.Printf("You entered: %s\n", line)
        if line == "exit" {
            break
        }
    }
}
// Output:
// > hello world
// You entered: hello world
// > exit
// You entered: exit
```
