Migration from blessed

Learn how to migrate your existing blessed applications to unblessed.

Drop-in Replacement

The easiest way to migrate is using @unblessed/blessed:

pnpm add @unblessed/blessed

Update your imports:

- import blessed from 'blessed';
+ import blessed from '@unblessed/blessed';

That's it! Your app should work without any other changes.

For new projects or gradual migration, use the modern API:

- const blessed = require('blessed');
- const screen = blessed.screen();
+ import { Screen } from '@unblessed/node';
+ const screen = new Screen();

unblessed is 100% backward compatible with blessed v1.x in terms of API.
