Ratatui Widgets

Crates.io Documentation License

ratatui-widgets contains all the widgets that were previously part of the Ratatui crate. It is meant to be used in conjunction with ratatui, which provides the core functionality for building terminal user interfaces.

Most applications shouldn't need to depend directly on ratatui-widgets, ratatui crate re-exports all the widgets from this crate. However, if you are building a widget library that internally uses these widgets, or if you prefer finer grained dependencies, you may want to depend on this crate rather than transitively through the ratatui crate.

Previously, a crate named ratatui-widgets was published with some formative ideas about an eventual Ratatui framework. That crate is now move to tui-framework-experiment, pending a new name.

Installation

Run the following command to add this crate to your project:

cargo add ratatui-widgets
