These are simple opinionated methods for creating a terminal that is
useful to use in most apps. The new init method creates a crossterm
backend writing to stdout, enables raw mode, enters the alternate
screen, and sets a panic handler that restores the terminal on panic.
A minimal hello world now looks a bit like:
```rust
use ratatui::{
crossterm::event::{self, Event},
text::Text,
Frame,
};
fn main() {
let mut terminal = ratatui::init();
loop {
terminal
.draw(|frame: &mut Frame| frame.render_widget(Text::raw("Hello World!"), frame.area()))
.expect("Failed to draw");
if matches!(event::read().expect("failed to read event"), Event::Key(_)) {
break;
}
}
ratatui::restore();
}
```
A type alias `DefaultTerminal` is added to represent this terminal
type and to simplify any cases where applications need to pass this
terminal around. It is equivalent to:
`Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>`
We also added `ratatui::try_init()` and `try_restore()`, for situations
where you might want to handle initialization errors yourself instead
of letting the panic handler fire and cleanup. Simple Apps should
prefer the `init` and `restore` functions over these functions.
Corresponding functions to allow passing a `TerminalOptions` with
a `Viewport` (e.g. inline, fixed) are also available
(`init_with_options`,
and `try_init_with_options`).
The existing code to create a backend and terminal will remain and
is not deprecated by this approach. This just provides a simple one
line initialization using the common options.

Termion is not supported on Windows, so we need to avoid building it.
Adds a conditional dependency to the Cargo.toml file to only include
termion when the target is not Windows. This allows contributors to
build using the `--all-features` flag on Windows rather than needing
to specify the features individually.
This is a simplification of the public API that is helpful for new users
that are not familiar with how rust re-exports work, and helps avoid
clashes with other modules in the backends that are named terminal.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `terminal` module is now private and can not be
used directly. The types under this module are exported from the root of
the crate.
```diff
- use ratatui::terminal::{CompletedFrame, Frame, Terminal, TerminalOptions, ViewPort};
+ use ratatui::{CompletedFrame, Frame, Terminal, TerminalOptions, ViewPort};
```
Fixes: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/1210
Consensus is that explicit imports make it easier to understand the
example code. This commit removes the prelude import from all examples
and replaces it with the necessary imports, and expands other glob
imports (widget::*, Constraint::*, KeyCode::*, etc.) everywhere else.
Prelude glob imports not in examples are not covered by this PR.
See https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/1150 for more details.
`crossterm`, `termion`, and `termwiz` can now be accessed as
`ratatui::{crossterm, termion, termwiz}` respectively. This makes it
possible to just add the Ratatui crate as a dependency and use the
backend of choice without having to add the backend crates as
dependencies.
To update existing code, replace all instances of `crossterm::` with
`ratatui::crossterm::`, `termion::` with `ratatui::termion::`, and
`termwiz::` with `ratatui::termwiz::`.
`Block::bordered()` is shorter than
`Block::new().borders(Borders::ALL)`, requires one less import
(`Borders`) and in case `Block::default()` was used before can even be
`const`.
Fixes many not yet enabled lints (mostly pedantic) on everything that is
not the lib (examples, benchs, tests). Therefore, this is not containing
anything that can be a breaking change.
Lints are not enabled as that should be the job of #974. I created this
as a separate PR as its mostly independent and would only clutter up the
diff of #974 even more.

Any iterator whose item is convertible into `Line` can now be
collected into `Tabs`.
In addition, where previously `Tabs::new` required a `Vec`, it can now
accept any object that implements `IntoIterator` with an item type
implementing `Into<Line>`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Calls to `Tabs::new()` whose argument is collected from an iterator
will no longer compile. For example,
`Tabs::new(["a","b"].into_iter().collect())` will no longer compile,
because the return type of `.collect()` can no longer be inferred to
be a `Vec<_>`.
This prevents creating a table that doesn't actually render anything.
Fixes: https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/537
BREAKING CHANGE: Table::new() now takes an additional widths parameter.
This allows passing an array, slice or Vec of constraints, which is more
ergonomic than requiring this to always be a slice.
The following calls now all succeed:
```rust
Table::new(rows).widths([Constraint::Length(5), Constraint::Length(5)]);
Table::new(rows).widths(&[Constraint::Length(5), Constraint::Length(5)]);
// widths could also be computed at runtime
let widths = vec![Constraint::Length(5), Constraint::Length(5)];
Table::new(rows).widths(widths.clone());
Table::new(rows).widths(&widths);
```
This change simplifys UI code that uses the Frame type. E.g.:
```rust
fn draw<B: Backend>(frame: &mut Frame<B>) {
// ...
}
```
Frame was generic over Backend because it stored a reference to the
terminal in the field. Instead it now directly stores the viewport area
and current buffer. These are provided at creation time and are valid
for the duration of the frame.
BREAKING CHANGE: Frame is no longer generic over Backend. Code that
accepted `Frame<Backend>` will now need to accept `Frame`. To migrate
existing code, remove any generic parameters from code that uses an
instance of a Frame. E.g. the above code becomes:
```rust
fn draw(frame: &mut Frame) {
// ...
}
```
This helps to keep the prelude small and less likely to conflict with
other crates.
- remove widgets module from prelude as the entire module can be just as
easily imported with `use ratatui::widgets::*;`
- move prelude module into its own file
- update examples to import widgets module instead of just prelude
- added several modules to prelude to make it possible to qualify
imports that collide with other types that have similar names
Before this change, it wasn't possible to build all features and all
targets at the same time, which prevents rust-analyzer from working
for the whole project.
Adds a bacon.toml file to the project, which is used by bacon
https://dystroy.org/bacon/
Configures docs.rs to show the feature flags that are necessary to
make modules / types / functions available.
* fix(gauge): render gauge with unicode correctly
Gauge now correctly renders a block rather than a space when in unicode mode.
* docs: update demo.gif
- remove existing gif
- upload using VHS (https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs)
- add instructions to RELEASE.md
- link new gif in README
* 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
* build: bump MSRV to 1.65
The latest version of the time crate requires Rust 1.65.0
```
cargo +1.64.0-x86_64-apple-darwin test --no-default-features \
--features serde,crossterm,all-widgets --lib --tests --examples
error: package `time v0.3.21` cannot be built because it requires rustc
1.65.0 or newer, while the currently active rustc version is 1.64.0
```
* feat(backend): add termwiz backend and demo
* ci(termwiz): add termwiz to makefile.toml

- control over the style of each cell and its content using the styling capabilities of Text.
- rows with multiple lines.
- fix panics on small areas.
- less generic type parameters.
- 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.
