The current implementation of Terminal::insert_before causes the
viewport to flicker. This is described in #584 .
This PR removes that flickering by using terminal scrolling regions
(sometimes called "scroll regions"). A terminal can have its scrolling
region set to something other than the whole screen. When a scroll ANSI
sequence is sent to the terminal and it has a non-default scrolling
region, the terminal will scroll just inside of that region.
We use scrolling regions to implement insert_before. We create a region
on the screen above the viewport, scroll that up to make room for the
newly inserted lines, and then draw the new lines. We may need to repeat
this process depending on how much space there is and how many lines we
need to draw.
When the viewport takes up the entire screen, we take a modified
approach. We create a scrolling region of just the top line (could be
more) of the viewport, then use that to draw the lines we want to
output. When we're done, we scroll it up by one line, into the
scrollback history, and then redraw the top line from the viewport.
A final edge case is when the viewport hasn't yet reached the bottom of
the screen. This case, we set up a different scrolling region, where the
top is the top of the viewport, and the bottom is the viewport's bottom
plus the number of lines we want to scroll by. We then scroll this
region down to open up space above the viewport for drawing the inserted
lines.
Regardless of what we do, we need to reset the scrolling region. This PR
takes the approach of always resetting the scrolling region after every
operation. So the Backend gets new scroll_region_up and
scroll_region_down methods instead of set_scrolling_region, scroll_up,
scroll_down, and reset_scrolling_region methods. We chose that approach
for two reasons. First, we don't want Ratatui to have to remember that
state and then reset the scrolling region when tearing down. Second, the
pre-Windows-10 console code doesn't support scrolling regio
This PR:
- Adds a new scrolling-regions feature.
- Adds two new Backend methods: scroll_region_up and scroll_region_down.
- Implements those Backend methods on all backends in the codebase.
- The crossterm and termion implementations use raw ANSI escape
sequences. I'm trying to merge changes into those two projects
separately to support these functions.
- Adds code to Terminal::insert_before to choose between
insert_before_scrolling_regions and insert_before_no_scrolling_regions.
The latter is the old implementation.
- Adds lots of tests to the TestBackend to for the
scrolling-region-related Backend methods.
- Adds versions of terminal tests that show that insert_before doesn't
clobber the viewport. This is a change in behavior from before.
This change fixes the unexpected behavior of the Rect::new() function to
be more intuitive. The Rect::new() function now clamps the width and
height of the rectangle to keep each bound within u16::MAX. The
Rect::area() function now returns a u32 instead of a u16 to allow for
larger areas to be calculated.
Previously, the Rect::new() function would clamp the total area of the
rectangle to u16::MAX, by preserving the aspect ratio of the rectangle.
BREAKING CHANGE: Rect::area() now returns a u32 instead of a u16.

Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/1250
Adds support for selecting a column and cell in `TableState`. The
selected column, and cells style can be set by
`Table::column_highlight_style` and `Table::cell_highlight_style`
respectively.
The table example has also been updated to display the new
functionality:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e5fd2858-4931-4ce1-a2f6-a5ea1eacbecc
BREAKING CHANGE: The Serialized output of the state will now include the
"selected_column" field. Software that manually parse the serialized the
output (with anything other than the `Serialize` implementation on
`TableState`) may have to be refactored if the "selected_column" field
is not accounted for. This does not affect users who rely on the
`Deserialize`, or `Serialize` implementation on the state.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `Table::highlight_style` is now deprecated in favor
of `Table::row_highlight_style`.

This helps make the doc examples more explicit about what is being used.
It will also makes it a bit easier to do future refactoring of Ratatui,
into several crates, as the ambiguity of where types are coming from
will be reduced.
Additionally, several doc examples have been simplified to use Stylize,
and necessary imports are no longer hidden.
This doesn't remove the prelude. Only the internal usages.
`ratatui::widgets::block::Title` is deprecated in favor of using `Line`
to represent titles.
This removes an unnecessary layer of wrapping (string -> Span -> Line ->
Title).
This struct will be removed in a future release of Ratatui (likely
0.31).
For more information see:
<https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/738>
To update your code:
```rust
Block::new().title(Title::from("foo"));
// becomes any of
Block::new().title("foo");
Block::new().title(Line::from("foo"));
Block::new().title(Title::from("foo").position(Position::TOP));
// becomes any of
Block::new().title_top("foo");
Block::new().title_top(Line::from("foo"));
Block::new().title(Title::from("foo").position(Position::BOTTOM));
// becomes any of
Block::new().title_bottom("foo");
Block::new().title_bottom(Line::from("foo"));
```
Reimplement Terminal::insert_before. The previous implementation would
insert the new lines in chunks into the area between the top of the
screen and the top of the (new) viewport. If the viewport filled the
screen, there would be no area in which to insert lines, and the
function would crash.
The new implementation uses as much of the screen as it needs to, all
the way up to using the whole screen.
This commit:
- adds a scrollback buffer to the `TestBackend` so that tests can
inspect and assert the state of the scrollback buffer in addition to the
screen
- adds functions to `TestBackend` to assert the state of the scrollback
- adds and updates `TestBackend` tests to test the behavior of the
scrollback and the new asserting functions
- reimplements `Terminal::insert_before`, including adding two new
helper functions `Terminal::draw_lines` and `Terminal::scroll_up`.
- updates the documentation for `Terminal::insert_before` to clarify
some of the edge cases
- updates terminal tests to assert the state of the scrollback buffer
- adds a new test for the condition that causes the bug
- adds a conversion constructor `Cell::from(char)`

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.
Code which previously called `buf.get(x, y)` or `buf.get_mut(x, y)`
should now use index operators, or be transitioned to `buff.cell()` or
`buf.cell_mut()` for safe access that avoids panics by returning
`Option<&Cell>` and `Option<&mut Cell>`.
The new methods accept `Into<Position>` instead of `x` and `y`
coordinates, which makes them more ergonomic to use.
```rust
let mut buffer = Buffer::empty(Rect::new(0, 0, 10, 10));
let cell = buf[(0, 0)];
let cell = buf[Position::new(0, 0)];
let symbol = buf.cell((0, 0)).map(|cell| cell.symbol());
let symbol = buf.cell(Position::new(0, 0)).map(|cell| cell.symbol());
buf[(0, 0)].set_symbol("🐀");
buf[Position::new(0, 0)].set_symbol("🐀");
buf.cell_mut((0, 0)).map(|cell| cell.set_symbol("🐀"));
buf.cell_mut(Position::new(0, 0)).map(|cell| cell.set_symbol("🐀"));
```
The existing `get()` and `get_mut()` methods are marked as deprecated.
These are fairly widely used and we will leave these methods around on
the buffer for a longer time than our normal deprecation approach (2
major release)

`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::`.
- Simplify `assert_buffer_eq!` logic.
- Deprecate `assert_buffer_eq!`.
- Introduce `TestBackend::assert_buffer_lines`.
Also simplify many tests involving buffer comparisons.
For the deprecation, just use `assert_eq` instead of `assert_buffer_eq`:
```diff
-assert_buffer_eq!(actual, expected);
+assert_eq!(actual, expected);
```
---
I noticed `assert_buffer_eq!` creating no test coverage reports and
looked into this macro. First I simplified it. Then I noticed a bunch of
`assert_eq!(buffer, …)` and other indirect usages of this macro (like
`TestBackend::assert_buffer`).
The good thing here is that it's mainly used in tests so not many
changes to the library code.
`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.

ratatui v0.26.0 brought a regression in the List widget, in which the
highlight symbol width was incorrectly calculated - specifically when
the highlight symbol was a multi-char character, e.g. `▶`.
This can make it easier to use `Buffer::with_lines` with iterators that
don't necessarily produce a `Vec`. For example, this allows using
`Buffer::with_lines` with `&[&str]` directly, without having to call
`collect` on it first.
This PR makes a number of simplifications to the layout and constraint
features that were added after v0.25.0.
For users upgrading from v0.25.0, the net effect of this PR (along with
the other PRs) is the following:
- New `Flex` modes have been added.
- `Flex::Start` (new default)
- `Flex::Center`
- `Flex::End`
- `Flex::SpaceAround`
- `Flex::SpaceBetween`
- `Flex::Legacy` (old default)
- `Min(v)` grows to allocate excess space in all `Flex` modes instead of
shrinking (except in `Flex::Legacy` where it retains old behavior).
- `Fill(1)` grows to allocate excess space, growing equally with
`Min(v)`.
---
The following contains a summary of the changes in this PR and the
motivation behind them.
**`Flex`**
- Removes `Flex::Stretch`
- Renames `Flex::StretchLast` to `Flex::Legacy`
**`Constraint`**
- Removes `Fixed`
- Makes `Min(v)` grow as much as possible everywhere (except
`Flex::Legacy` where it retains the old behavior)
- Makes `Min(v)` grow equally as `Fill(1)` while respecting `Min` lower
bounds. When `Fill` and `Min` are used together, they both fill excess
space equally.
Allowing `Min(v)` to grow still allows users to build the same layouts
as before with `Flex::Start` with no breaking changes to the behavior.
This PR also removes the unstable feature `SegmentSize`.
This is a breaking change to the behavior of constraints. If users want
old behavior, they can use `Flex::Legacy`.
```rust
Layout::vertical([Length(25), Length(25)]).flex(Flex::Legacy)
```
Users that have constraint that exceed the available space will probably
not see any difference or see an improvement in their layouts. Any
layout with `Min` will be identical in `Flex::Start` and `Flex::Legacy`
so any layout with `Min` will not be breaking.
Previously, `Table` used `EvenDistribution` internally by default, but
with that gone the default is now `Flex::Start`. This changes the
behavior of `Table` (for the better in most cases). The only way for
users to get exactly the same as the old behavior is to change their
constraints. I imagine most users will be happier out of the box with
the new Table default.

With this PR, the layout algorithm will do the following in order:
1. Ensure that all the segments are within the user provided area and
ensure that all segments and spacers are aligned next to each other
2. if a user provides a `layout.spacing`, it will enforce it.
3. ensure proportional elements are all proportional to each other
4. if a user provides a `Fixed(v)` constraint, it will enforce it.
5. `Min` / `Max` binding inequality constraints
6. `Length`
7. `Percentage`
8. `Ratio`
9. collapse `Min` or collapse `Max`
10. grow `Proportional` as much as possible
11. grow spacers as much as possible
This PR also returns the spacer areas as `Rects` to the user. Users can
then draw into the spacers as they see fit (thanks @joshka for the
idea). Here's a screenshot with the modified flex example:

This PR introduces a `strengths` module that has "default" weights that
give stable solutions as well as predictable behavior.
Many widgets can be rendered without changing their state.
This commit implements The `Widget` trait for references to
widgets and changes their implementations to be immutable.
This allows us to render widgets without consuming them by passing a ref
to the widget when calling `Frame::render_widget()`.
```rust
// this might be stored in a struct
let paragraph = Paragraph::new("Hello world!");
let [left, right] = area.split(&Layout::horizontal([20, 20]));
frame.render_widget(¶graph, left);
frame.render_widget(¶graph, right); // we can reuse the widget
```
Implemented for all widgets except BarChart (which has an implementation
that modifies the internal state and requires a rewrite to fix.
Other widgets will be implemented in follow up commits.

This uses the new `spacing` feature of the `Layout` struct to allocate
columns spacing in the `Table` widget.
This changes the behavior of the table column layout in the following
ways:
1. Selection width is always allocated.
- if a user does not want a selection width ever they should use
`HighlightSpacing::Never`
2. Column spacing is prioritized over other constraints
- if a user does not want column spacing, they should use
`Table::new(...).column_spacing(0)`

TableState, ListState, and ScrollbarState can now be serialized and deserialized
using serde.
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct AppState {
list_state: ListState,
table_state: TableState,
scrollbar_state: ScrollbarState,
}
let app_state = AppState::default();
let serialized = serde_json::to_string(app_state);
let app_state = serde_json::from_str(serialized);
```
Any iterator whose item is convertible into `Row` can now be
collected into a `Table`.
Where previously, `Table::new` accepted `IntoIterator<Item = Row>`, it
now accepts `IntoIterator<Item: Into<Row>>`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The compiler can no longer infer the element type of the container
passed to `Table::new()`. For example, `Table::new(vec![], widths)`
will no longer compile, as the type of `vec![]` can no longer be
inferred.
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 allows to build list like
```
List::new(["Item 1", "Item 2"])
```
BREAKING CHANGE: `List::new` parameter type changed from `Into<Vec<ListItem<'a>>>`
to `IntoIterator<Item = Into<ListItem<'a>>>`
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.
Previously the default highlight_style was set to `Style::default()`,
which meant that the highlight style was the same as the normal style.
This change sets the default highlight_style to reversed text.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `Tab` widget now renders the highlight style as
reversed text by default. This can be changed by setting the
`highlight_style` field of the `Tab` widget.
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);
```
The Cell::symbol field is now accessible via a getter method (`symbol()`). This will
allow us to make future changes to the Cell internals such as replacing `String` with
`compact_str`.
Fixes issue with inserting content with height>viewport_area.height and adds
the ability to insert content of height>terminal_height
- Adds TestBackend::append_lines() and TestBackend::clear_region() methods to
support testing the changes
The background colors of the gauge had a workaround for the issue we had
with VHS / TTYD rendering the background color of the gauge. This
workaround is no longer necessary in the updated versions of VHS / TTYD.
Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/501
The `Spans` type (plural, not singular) was replaced with a more ergonomic `Line` type
in Ratatui v0.21.0 and marked deprecated byt left for backwards compatibility. This is now
removed.
- `Line` replaces `Spans`
- `Buffer::set_line` replaces `Buffer::set_spans`
This allows writing unit tests without having to call set_style on the
expected buffer.
E.g.:
```rust
use crate::style::Stylize;
let mut buf = Buffer::empty(Rect::new(0, 0, 10, 10));
buf.set_string(0, 0, "foo", Style::new().red());
buf.set_string(0, 1, "bar", Style::new().blue());
assert_eq!(buf, Buffer::with_lines(vec!["foo".red(), "bar".blue()]));
```

Previously the layout used the floor of the calculated start and width
as the value to use for the split Rects. This resulted in gaps between
the split rects.
This change modifies the layout to round to the nearest column instead
of taking the floor of the start and width. This results in the start
and end of each rect being rounded the same way and being strictly
adjacent without gaps.
Because there is a required constraint that ensures that the last end is
equal to the area end, there is no longer the need to fixup the last
item width when the fill (as e.g. width = x.99 now rounds to x+1 not x).
The colors example has been updated to use Ratio(1, 8) instead of
Percentage(13), as this now renders without gaps for all possible sizes,
whereas previously it would have left odd gaps between columns.
* feat(list): add option to always allocate the "selection" column width
Before this option was available, selecting a item in a list when nothing was selected
previously made the row layout change (the same applies to unselecting) by adding the width
of the "highlight symbol" in the front of the list, this option allows to configure this
behavior.
* style: change "highlight_spacing" doc comment to use inline code-block for reference
* feat(table): add option to configure selection layout changes
Before this option was available, selecting a row in the table when no row was selected
previously made the tables layout change (the same applies to unselecting) by adding the width
of the "highlight symbol" in the front of the first column, this option allows to configure this
behavior.
* refactor(table): refactor "get_columns_widths" to return (x, width)
and "render" to make use of that
* refactor(table): refactor "get_columns_widths" to take in a selection_width instead of a boolean
