* refactor: add Line type to replace Spans
`Line` is a significantly better name over `Spans` as the plural causes
confusion and the type really is a representation of a line of text made
up of spans.
This is a backwards compatible version of the approach from
https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui/pull/175
There is a significant amount of code that uses the Spans type and
methods, so instead of just renaming it, we add a new type and replace
parameters that accepts a `Spans` with a parameter that accepts
`Into<Line>`.
Note that the examples have been intentionally left using `Spans` in
this commit to demonstrate the compiler warnings that will be emitted in
existing code.
Implementation notes:
- moves the Spans code to text::spans and publicly reexports on the text
module. This makes the test in that module only relevant to the Spans
type.
- adds a line module with a copy of the code and tests from Spans with a
single addition: `impl<'a> From<Spans<'a>> for Line<'a>`
- adds tests for `Spans` (created and checked before refactoring)
- adds the same tests for `Line`
- updates all widget methods that accept and store Spans to instead
store `Line` and accept `Into<Line>`
* refactor: move text::Masked to text::masked::Masked
Re-exports the Masked type at text::Masked
* refactor: replace Spans with Line in tests/examples/docs
Adds a new type Masked that can mask data with a mask character, and can
be used anywhere we expect Cow<'a, str> or Text<'a>. E.g. Paragraph,
ListItem, Table Cells etc.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Because Masked implements From for Text<'a>, code that binds
Into<Text<'a>> without type annotations may no longer compile
(e.g. `Paragraph::new("".as_ref())`)
To fix this, annotate or call to_string() / to_owned() / as_str()
The thread spawned by `Events` to listen for keyboard inputs had knowlegde of
the exit key to exit on its own when it was pressed. It is however a source of
confusion (#491) because the exit behavior is wired in both the event handler
and the input handling performed by the app. In addition, this is not needed as
the thread will exit anyway when the main thread finishes as it is already the
case for the "tick" thread. Therefore, this commit removes both the option to
configure the exit key in the `Events` handler and the option to temporarily
ignore it.
- merge `Style` and `StyleDiff` together. `Style` now is used to activate or deactivate certain
style rules not to overidden all of them.
- update all impacted widgets, examples and tests.
- Remove deny warnings in lib.rs. This allows easier iteration when developing
new features. The warnings will make the CI fails anyway on the clippy CI
stage.
- Run clippy on all targets (including tests and examples) and all features.
- Fail CI on clippy warnings.
Most widgets can be drawn directly based on the input parameters. However, some
features may require some kind of associated state to be implemented.
For example, the `List` widget can highlight the item currently selected. This
can be translated in an offset, which is the number of elements to skip in
order to have the selected item within the viewport currently allocated to this
widget. The widget can therefore only provide the following behavior: whenever
the selected item is out of the viewport scroll to a predefined position (make
the selected item the last viewable item or the one in the middle).
Nonetheless, if the widget has access to the last computed offset then it can
implement a natural scrolling experience where the last offset is reused until
the selected item is out of the viewport.
To allow such behavior within the widgets, this commit introduces the following
changes:
- Add a `StatefulWidget` trait with an associated `State` type. Widgets that
can take advantage of having a "memory" between two draw calls needs to
implement this trait.
- Add a `render_stateful_widget` method on `Frame` where the associated
state is given as a parameter.
The chosen approach is thus to let the developers manage their widgets' states
themselves as they are already responsible for the lifecycle of the wigets
(given that the crate exposes an immediate mode api).
The following changes were also introduced:
- `Widget::render` has been deleted. Developers should use `Frame::render_widget`
instead.
- `Widget::background` has been deleted. Developers should use `Buffer::set_background`
instead.
- `SelectableList` has been deleted. Developers can directly use `List` where
`SelectableList` features have been back-ported.
It basically never makes sense to render without syncing the size.
Without resizing, if shrinking, we get artefacts. If growing, we may get
panics (before this change the Rustbox sample (the only one which didn't
handle resizing on its own) panicked because the widget would get an
updated size, while the terminal would not).
