Terminal Dashboard Widgets for Blessed

JSON →
library 4.11.0 ·javascript maintenance
verified Jun 17, 2026

blessed-contrib is a JavaScript library designed for creating rich terminal dashboards and other console-based applications using ASCII/ANSI art. It extends the core `blessed` library, providing a suite of custom widgets such as line charts, bar charts, gauges, LCD displays, tables, and maps, some of which leverage `node-drawille` for advanced graphics. The current stable version is 4.11.0, with releases occurring irregularly, typically annually or semi-annually, focusing on stability. Its key differentiators include a comprehensive set of data visualization widgets tailored for the terminal, seamless integration with `blessed`'s powerful screen management, and explicit support across Linux, OS X, and Windows (with specific prerequisites for the latter). It aims to provide developer-friendly tools for creating visually engaging command-line interfaces.
