0.25.0 - 2023-12-18

We are thrilled to announce the new version of ratatui - a Rust library that's all about cooking up TUIs 🐭

In this version, we made improvements on widgets such as List, Table and Layout and changed some of the defaults for a better user experience. Also, we renewed our website and updated our documentation/tutorials to get started with ratatui: https://ratatui.rs 🚀

Release highlights: https://ratatui.rs/highlights/v025/

Features

  • aef4956 (list) List::new now accepts IntoIterator<Item = Into<ListItem>> (#672) [breaking]

    This allows to build list like
    
    ```
    List::new(["Item 1", "Item 2"])
    ```
    
  • 8bfd666 (paragraph) Add line_count and line_width unstable helper methods

    This is an unstable feature that may be removed in the future
    
  • 1229b96 (rect) Add offset method (#533)

    The offset method creates a new Rect that is moved by the amount
    specified in the x and y direction. These values can be positive or
    negative. This is useful for manual layout tasks.
    
    ```rust
    let rect = area.offset(Offset { x: 10, y -10 });
    ```
    
  • edacaf7 (buffer) Deprecate Cell::symbol field (#624)

    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`.
    
  • 6b2efd0 (layout) Accept IntoIterator for constraints (#663)

    Layout and Table now accept IntoIterator for constraints with an Item
    that is AsRef<Constraint>. This allows pretty much any collection of
    constraints to be passed to the layout functions including arrays,
    vectors, slices, and iterators (without having to call collect() on
    them).
    
  • 753e246 (layout) Allow configuring layout fill (#633)

    The layout split will generally fill the remaining area when `split()`
    is called. This change allows the caller to configure how any extra
    space is allocated to the `Rect`s. This is useful for cases where the
    caller wants to have a fixed size for one of the `Rect`s, and have the
    other `Rect`s fill the remaining space.
    
    For now, the method and enum are marked as unstable because the exact
    name is still being bikeshedded. To enable this functionality, add the
    `unstable-segment-size` feature flag in your `Cargo.toml`.
    
    To configure the layout to fill the remaining space evenly, use
    `Layout::segment_size(SegmentSize::EvenDistribution)`. The default
    behavior is `SegmentSize::LastTakesRemainder`, which gives the last
    segment the remaining space. `SegmentSize::None` will disable this
    behavior. See the docs for `Layout::segment_size()` and
    `layout::SegmentSize` for more information.
    
    Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/536
    
  • 1e2f0be (layout) Add parameters to Layout::new() (#557) [breaking]

    Adds a convenience function to create a layout with a direction and a
    list of constraints which are the most common parameters that would be
    generally configured using the builder pattern. The constraints can be
    passed in as any iterator of constraints.
    
    ```rust
    let layout = Layout::new(Direction::Horizontal, [
        Constraint::Percentage(50),
        Constraint::Percentage(50),
    ]);
    ```
    
  • c862aa5 (list) Support line alignment (#599)

    The `List` widget now respects the alignment of `Line`s and renders them as expected.
    
  • 4424637 (span) Add setters for content and style (#647)

  • ebf1f42 (style) Implement From trait for crossterm to Style related structs (#686)

  • e49385b (table) Add a Table::segment_size method (#660)

    It controls how to distribute extra space to an underconstrained table.
    The default, legacy behavior is to leave the extra space unused.  The
    new options are LastTakesRemainder which gets all space to the rightmost
    column that can used it, and EvenDistribution which divides it amongst
    all columns.
    
  • b8f71c0 (widgets/chart) Add option to set the position of legend (#378)

  • 5bf4f52 (uncategorized) Implement From trait for termion to Style related structs (#692)

    * feat(termion): implement from termion color
    
    * feat(termion): implement from termion style
    
    * feat(termion): implement from termion `Bg` and `Fg`
    
  • d19b266 (uncategorized) Add Constraint helpers (e.g. from_lengths) (#641)

    Adds helper methods that convert from iterators of u16 values to the
    specific Constraint type. This makes it easy to create constraints like:
    
    ```rust
    // a fixed layout
    let constraints = Constraint::from_lengths([10, 20, 10]);
    
    // a centered layout
    let constraints = Constraint::from_ratios([(1, 4), (1, 2), (1, 4)]);
    let constraints = Constraint::from_percentages([25, 50, 25]);
    
    // a centered layout with a minimum size
    let constraints = Constraint::from_mins([0, 100, 0]);
    
    // a sidebar / main layout with maximum sizes
    let constraints = Constraint::from_maxes([30, 200]);
    ```
    

Bug Fixes

  • f69d57c (rect) Fix underflow in the Rect::intersection method (#678)

  • 56fc410 (block) Make inner aware of title positions (#657)

    Previously, when computing the inner rendering area of a block, all
    titles were assumed to be positioned at the top, which caused the
    height of the inner area to be miscalculated.
    
  • ec7b387 (doc) Do not access deprecated Cell::symbol field in doc example (#626)

  • 37c70db (table) Add widths parameter to new() (#664) [breaking]

    This prevents creating a table that doesn't actually render anything.
    
  • 1f88da7 (table) Fix new clippy lint which triggers on table widths tests (#630)

    * fix(table): new clippy lint in 1.74.0 triggers on table widths tests
    
  • 36d8c53 (table) Widths() now accepts AsRef<[Constraint]> (#628)

    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);
    ```
    
  • 34d099c (tabs) Fixup tests broken by semantic merge conflict (#665)

    Two changes without any line overlap caused the tabs tests to break
    
  • e4579f0 (tabs) Set the default highlight_style (#635) [breaking]

    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.
    
  • 28ac55b (tabs) Tab widget now supports custom padding (#629)

    The Tab widget now contains padding_left and and padding_right
    properties. Those values can be set with functions `padding_left()`,
    `padding_right()`, and `padding()` which all accept `Into<Line>`.
    
    Fixes issue https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/502
    
  • df0eb1f (terminal) Insert_before() now accepts lines > terminal height and doesn't add an extra blank line (#596)

    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
    
  • aaeba27 (uncategorized) Truncate table when overflow (#685)

    This prevents a panic when rendering an empty right aligned and rightmost table cell
    
  • ffa78aa (uncategorized) Add #[must_use] to Style-moving methods (#600)

  • a2f2bd5 (uncategorized) MSRV is now 1.70.0 (#593)

Refactor

  • f767ea7 (list) start_corner is now direction (#673)

    The previous name `start_corner` did not communicate clearly the intent of the method.
    A new method `direction` and a new enum `ListDirection` were added.
    
    `start_corner` is now deprecated
    
  • b82451f (examples) Add vim binding (#688)

  • 0576a8a (layout) To natural reading order (#681)

    Structs and enums at the top of the file helps show the interaction
    between the types without having to find each type in between longer
    impl sections.
    
    Also moved the try_split function into the Layout impl as an associated
    function and inlined the `layout::split()` which just called try_split.
    This makes the code a bit more contained.
    
  • 4be18ab (readme) Reference awesome-ratatui instead of wiki (#689)

    * refactor(readme): link awesome-ratatui instead of wiki
    
    The apps wiki moved to awesome-ratatui
    
    * docs(readme): Update README.md
    
  • 7ef0afc (widgets) Remove unnecessary dynamic dispatch and heap allocation (#597)

  • b282a06 (uncategorized) Remove items deprecated since 0.10 (#691) [breaking]

    Remove `Axis::title_style` and `Buffer::set_background` which are deprecated since 0.10
    
  • 7ced7c0 (uncategorized) Define struct WrappedLine instead of anonymous tuple (#608)

    It makes the type easier to document, and more obvious for users
    

Documentation

  • f4c8de0 (chart) Document chart module (#696)

  • 1b8b626 (examples) Add animation and FPS counter to colors_rgb (#583)

  • 2169a0d (examples) Add example of half block rendering (#687)

  • a15c3b2 (uncategorized) Remove deprecated table constructor from breaking changes (#698)

  • 113b4b7 (uncategorized) Rename template links to remove ratatui from name 📚 (#690)

  • 211160c (uncategorized) Remove simple-tui-rs (#651)

    This has not been recently and doesn't lead to good code
    

Styling

Miscellaneous Tasks

  • 910ad00 (rustfmt) Enable format_code_in_doc_comments (#695)

    This enables more consistently formatted code in doc comments,
    especially since ratatui heavily uses fluent setters.
    
    See https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0#format_code_in_doc_comments
    
  • d118565 (table) Cleanup docs and builder methods (#638)

    - Refactor the `table` module for better top to bottom readability by
    putting types first and arranging them in a logical order (Table, Row,
    Cell, other).
    
    - Adds new methods for:
      - `Table::rows`
      - `Row::cells`
      - `Cell::new`
      - `Cell::content`
      - `TableState::new`
      - `TableState::selected_mut`
    
    - Makes `HighlightSpacing::should_add` pub(crate) since it's an internal
      detail.
    
    - Adds tests for all the new methods and simple property tests for all
      the other setter methods.
    
  • dd22e72 (uncategorized) Correct "builder methods" in docs and add must_use on widgets setters (#655)

    Moves the layout::new change to unreleasedd section and adds the table change
    
  • a58cce2 (uncategorized) Disable default benchmarking (#598)

    Disables the default benchmarking behaviour for the lib target to fix unrecognized
    criterion benchmark arguments.
    
    See https://bheisler.github.io/criterion.rs/book/faq.html#cargo-bench-gives-unrecognized-option-errors-for-valid-command-line-options for details
    

Continuous Integration

0.24.0 - 2023-10-23

We are excited to announce the new version of ratatui - a Rust library that's all about cooking up TUIs 🐭

In this version, we've introduced features like window size API, enhanced chart rendering, and more. The list of *breaking changes* can be found here ⚠️. Also, we created various tutorials and walkthroughs in Ratatui Book which is available at https://ratatui.rs 🚀

Release highlights: https://ratatui.rs/highlights/v024

Features

  • c6c3f88 (backend) Implement common traits for WindowSize (#586)

  • d077903 (backend) Backend provides window_size, add Size struct (#276)

    For image (sixel, iTerm2, Kitty...) support that handles graphics in
    terms of `Rect` so that the image area can be included in layouts.
    
    For example: an image is loaded with a known pixel-size, and drawn, but
    the image protocol has no mechanism of knowing the actual cell/character
    area that been drawn on. It is then impossible to skip overdrawing the
    area.
    
    Returning the window size in pixel-width / pixel-height, together with
    columns / rows, it can be possible to account the pixel size of each cell
    / character, and then known the `Rect` of a given image, and also resize
    the image so that it fits exactly in a `Rect`.
    
    Crossterm and termwiz also both return both sizes from one syscall,
    while termion does two.
    
    Add a `Size` struct for the cases where a `Rect`'s `x`/`y` is unused
    (always zero).
    
    `Size` is not "clipped" for `area < u16::max_value()` like `Rect`. This
    is why there are `From` implementations between the two.
    
  • 301366c (barchart) Render charts smaller than 3 lines (#532)

    The bar values are not shown if the value width is equal the bar width
    and the bar is height is less than one line
    
    Add an internal structure `LabelInfo` which stores the reserved height
    for the labels (0, 1 or 2) and also whether the labels will be shown.
    
    Fixes ratatui-org#513
    
  • 32e4619 (block) Allow custom symbols for borders (#529) [breaking]

    Adds a new `Block::border_set` method that allows the user to specify
    the symbols used for the border.
    
    Added two new border types: `BorderType::QuadrantOutside` and
    `BorderType::QuadrantInside`. These are used to draw borders using the
    unicode quadrant characters (which look like half block "pixels").

    BREAKING CHANGES:
    - BorderType::to_line_set is renamed to to_border_set
    - BorderType::line_symbols is renamed to border_symbols
    
  • 4541336 (canvas) Implement half block marker (#550)

    * feat(canvas): implement half block marker
    
    A useful technique for the terminal is to use half blocks to draw a grid
    of "pixels" on the screen. Because we can set two colors per cell, and
    because terminal cells are about twice as tall as they are wide, we can
    draw a grid of half blocks that looks like a grid of square pixels.
    
    This commit adds a new `HalfBlock` marker that can be used in the Canvas
    widget and the associated HalfBlockGrid.
    
    Also updated demo2 to use the new marker as it looks much nicer.
    
    Adds docs for many of the methods and structs on canvas.
    
    Changes the grid resolution method to return the pixel count
    rather than the index of the last pixel.
    This is an internal detail with no user impact.
    
  • be55a5f (examples) Add demo2 example (#500)

  • 082cbcb (frame) Remove generic Backend parameter (#530) [breaking]

    This change simplifies 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 a Frame<Backend> will now need to accept a Frame.
    
  • d67fa2c (line) Add Line::raw constructor (#511)

    * feat(line): add `Line::raw` constructor
    
    There is already `Span::raw` and `Text::raw` methods
    and this commit simply adds `Line::raw` method for symmetry.
    
    Multi-line content is converted to multiple spans with the new line removed
    
  • cbf86da (rect) Add is_empty() to simplify some common checks (#534)

    - add `Rect::is_empty()` that checks whether either height or width == 0
    - refactored `Rect` into layout/rect.rs from layout.rs. No public API change as
       the module is private and the type is re-exported under the `layout` module.
    
  • 15641c8 (uncategorized) Add buffer_mut method on Frame (#548)

Bug Fixes

  • 638d596 (layout) Use LruCache for layout cache (#487)

    The layout cache now uses a LruCache with default size set to 16 entries.
    Previously the cache was backed by a HashMap, and was able to grow
    without bounds as a new entry was added for every new combination of
    layout parameters.
    
    - Added a new method (`layout::init_cache(usize)`) that allows the cache
    size to be changed if necessary. This will only have an effect if it is called
    prior to any calls to `layout::split()` as the cache is wrapped in a `OnceLock`
    
  • 8d507c4 (backend) Add feature flag for underline-color (#570)

    Windows 7 doesn't support the underline color attribute, so we need to
    make it optional. This commit adds a feature flag for the underline
    color attribute - it is enabled by default, but can be disabled by
    passing `--no-default-features` to cargo.
    
    We could specically check for Windows 7 and disable the feature flag
    automatically, but I think it's better for this check to be done by the
    crossterm crate, since it's the one that actually knows about the
    underlying terminal.
    
    To disable the feature flag in an application that supports Windows 7,
    add the following to your Cargo.toml:
    
    ```toml
    ratatui = { version = "0.24.0", default-features = false, features = ["crossterm"] }
    ```
    
    Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/555
    
  • c3155a2 (barchart) Add horizontal labels(#518)

    Labels were missed in the initial implementation of the horizontal
    mode for the BarChart widget. This adds them.
    
    Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/499
    
  • c5ea656 (barchart) Avoid divide by zero in rendering (#525)

  • c9b8e7c (barchart) Render value labels with unicode correctly (#515)

    An earlier change introduced a bug where the width of value labels with
    unicode characters was incorrectly using the string length in bytes
    instead of the unicode character count. This reverts the earlier change.
    
  • c8ab2d5 (chart) Use graph style for top line (#462)

    A bug in the rendering caused the top line of the chart to be rendered
    using the style of the chart, instead of the dataset style. This is
    fixed by only setting the style for the width of the text, and not the
    entire row.
    
  • 0c7d547 (docs) Don't fail rustdoc due to termion (#503)

    Windows cannot compile termion, so it is not included in the docs.
    Rustdoc will fail if it cannot find a link, so the docs fail to build
    on windows.
    
    This replaces the link to TermionBackend with one that does not fail
    during checks.
    
    Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/498
    
  • 0c52ff4 (gauge) Fix gauge widget colors (#572)

    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
    
  • 11076d0 (rect) Fix arithmetic overflow edge cases (#543)

    Fixes https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/issues/258
    
  • 21303f2 (rect) Prevent overflow in inner() and area() (#523)

  • ebd3680 (stylize) Add Stylize impl for String (#466) [breaking]

    Although the `Stylize` trait is already implemented for `&str` which
    extends to `String`, it is not implemented for `String` itself. This
    commit adds an impl of Stylize that returns a Span<'static> for `String`
    so that code can call Stylize methods on temporary `String`s.
    
    E.g. the following now compiles instead of failing with a compile error
    about referencing a temporary value:
    
        let s = format!("hello {name}!", "world").red();
    
    BREAKING CHANGE: This may break some code that expects to call Stylize
    methods on `String` values and then use the String value later. This
    will now fail to compile because the String is consumed by set_style
    instead of a slice being created and consumed.
    
    This can be fixed by cloning the `String`. E.g.:
    
        let s = String::from("hello world");
        let line = Line::from(vec![s.red(), s.green()]); // fails to compile
        let line = Line::from(vec![s.clone().red(), s.green()]); // works
    
    Fixes https://discord.com/channels/1070692720437383208/1072907135664529508/1148229700821450833
    

Refactor

  • 2fd85af (barchart) Simplify internal implementation (#544)

    Replace `remove_invisible_groups_and_bars` with `group_ticks`
    `group_ticks` calculates the visible bar length in ticks. (A cell contains 8 ticks).
    
    It is used for 2 purposes:
    1. to get the bar length in ticks for rendering
    2. since it delivers only the values of the visible bars, If we zip these values
       with the groups and bars, then we will filter out the invisible groups and bars

Contributors

Thank you so much to everyone that contributed to this release!

Here is the list of contributors who have contributed to ratatui for the first time!

v0.23.0 - 2023-08-28

We are thrilled to release the new version of ratatui 🐭, the official successor* of tui-rs.

In this version, we improved the existing widgets such as Barchart and Scrollbar. We also made improvmements in the testing/internal APIs to provide a smoother testing/development experience. Additionally, we have addressed various bugs and implemented enhancements.

Here is a blog post that highlights the new features and breaking changes along with a retrospective about the project: https://blog.orhun.dev/ratatui-0-23-0

Features

  • (barchart) Add direction attribute. (horizontal bars support) (#325) (0dca6a6)

    * feat(barchart): Add direction attribute
    
    Enable rendering the bars horizontally. In some cases this allow us to
    make more efficient use of the available space.
    
  • (cell) Add voluntary skipping capability for sixel (#215) (e4bcf78)

    > Sixel is a bitmap graphics format supported by terminals.
    > "Sixel mode" is entered by sending the sequence ESC+Pq.
    > The "String Terminator" sequence ESC+\ exits the mode.
    
    The graphics are then rendered with the top left positioned at the
    cursor position.
    
    It is actually possible to render sixels in ratatui with just
    `buf.get_mut(x, y).set_symbol("^[Pq ... ^[\")`. But any buffer covering
    the "image area" will overwrite the graphics. This is most likely the same
    buffer, even though it consists of empty characters `' '`, except for
    the top-left character that starts the sequence.
    
    Thus, either the buffer or cells must be specialized to avoid drawing
    over the graphics. This patch specializes the `Cell` with a
    `set_skip(bool)` method, based on James' patch:
    https://github.com/TurtleTheSeaHobo/tui-rs/tree/sixel-support
    I unsuccessfully tried specializing the `Buffer`, but as far as I can tell
    buffers get merged all the way "up" and thus skipping must be set on the
    Cells. Otherwise some kind of "skipping area" state would be required,
    which I think is too complicated.
    
    Having access to the buffer now it is possible to skip all cells but the
    first one which can then `set_symbol(sixel)`. It is up to the user to
    deal with the graphics size and buffer area size. It is possible to get
    the terminal's font size in pixels with a syscall.
    
    An image widget for ratatui that uses this `skip` flag is available at
    https://github.com/benjajaja/ratatu-image.
    
  • (list) Add option to always allocate the "selection" column width (#394) (4d70169)

    * 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
    
  • (release) Add automated nightly releases (#359) (aad164a)

    * feat(release): add automated nightly releases
    
    * refactor(release): rename the alpha workflow
    
    * refactor(release): simplify the release calculation
    
  • (scrollbar) Add optional track symbol (#360) (1727fa5) [breaking]

    The track symbol is now optional, simplifying composition with other
    widgets.
    
  • (table) Add support for line alignment in the table widget (#392) (7748720)

    * feat(table): enforce line alignment in table render
    
    * test(table): add table alignment render test
    
  • (widgets::table) Add option to always allocate the "selection" constraint (#375) (f63ac72)

    * 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
    
    also refactor "render" to make use of this change
    
    * fix(table): rename "highlight_set_selection_space" to "highlight_spacing"
    
    * style(table): apply doc-comment suggestions from code review
    
  • (uncategorized) Expand serde attributes for TestBuffer (#389) (57ea871)

  • (uncategorized) Add weak constraints to make rects closer to each other in size (#395) (6153371)

    Also make `Max` and `Min` constraints MEDIUM strength for higher priority over equal chunks
    
  • (uncategorized) Simplify split function (#411) (b090101)

Bug Fixes

  • (barchart) Empty groups causes panic (#333) (9c95673)

    This unlikely to happen, since nobody wants to add an empty group.
    Even we fix the panic, things will not render correctly.
    So it is better to just not add them to the BarChart.
    
  • (block) Fixed title_style not rendered (#349) (#363) (49a82e0)

  • (cargo) Adjust minimum paste version (#348) (8db9fb4)

    ratatui is using features that are currently only available in paste 1.0.2; specifying the minimum version to be 1.0 will consequently cause a compilation error if cargo is only able to use a version less than 1.0.2.
    
  • (example) Fix typo (#337) (daf5890)

    the existential feels
    
  • (layout) Don't leave gaps between chunks (#408) (56455e0)

    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.
    
  • (layout) Ensure left <= right (#410) (f4ed3b7)

    The recent refactor missed the positive width constraint
    
  • (readme) Fix typo in readme (#344) (d05ab6f)

  • (readme) Fix incorrect template link (#338) (b9290b3)

  • (readme) Fix typo in readme (#336) (7e37a96)

  • (release) Fix the last tag retrieval for alpha releases (#416) (b6b2da5)

  • (release) Set the correct permissions for creating alpha releases (#400) (778c320)

  • (scrollbar) Move symbols to symbols module (#330) (7539f77) [breaking]

    The symbols and sets are moved from `widgets::scrollbar` to
    `symbols::scrollbar`. This makes it consistent with the other symbol
    sets and allows us to make the scrollbar module private rather than
    re-exporting it.
    
  • (table) Fix unit tests broken due to rounding (#419) (dc55211)

    The merge of the table unit tests after the rounding layout fix was not
    rebased correctly, this addresses the broken tests, makes them more
    concise while adding comments to help clarify that the rounding behavior
    is working as expected.
    
  • (uncategorized) Correct minor typos in documentation (#331) (13fb11a)

Refactor

  • (barchart) Reduce some calculations (#430) (fc727df)

    Calculating the label_offset is unnecessary, if we just render the
    group label after rendering the bars. We can just reuse bar_y.
    
  • (layout) Simplify and doc split() (#405) (de25de0)

    * test(layout): add tests for split()
    
    * refactor(layout): simplify and doc split()
    
    This is mainly a reduction in density of the code with a goal of
    improving mainatainability so that the algorithm is clear.
    
  • (layout) Simplify split() function (#396) (5195099)

    Removes some unnecessary code and makes the function more readable.
    Instead of creating a temporary result and mutating it, we just create
    the result directly from the list of changes.

  • (examples) Add examples readme with gifs (#303) (add578a)

    This commit adds a readme to the examples directory with gifs of each
    example. This should make it easier to see what each example does
    without having to run it.
    
    I modified the examples to fit better in the gifs. Mostly this was just
    removing the margins, but for the block example I cleaned up the code a
    bit to make it more readable and changed it so the background bug is not
    triggered.
    
    For the table example, the combination of Min, Length, and Percent
    constraints was causing the table to panic when the terminal was too
    small. I changed the example to use the Max constraint instead of the
    Length constraint.
    
    The layout example now shows information about how the layout is
    constrained on each block (which is now a paragraph with a block).

Build

  • (deps) Upgrade crossterm to 0.27 (#380) (37fa6ab)

  • (examples) Fix cargo make run-examples (#327) (e2cb11c)

    Enables the all-widgets feature so that the calendar example runs correctly
    
  • (uncategorized) Forbid unsafe code (#332) (0fb1ed8)

    This indicates good (high level) code and is used by tools like cargo-geiger.
    

Continuous Integration

  • (coverage) Exclude examples directory from coverage (#373) (de9f52f)

  • (uncategorized) Don't fail fast (#364) (9191ad6)

    Run all the tests rather than canceling when one test fails. This allows
    us to see all the failures, rather than just the first one if there are
    multiple. Specifically this is useful when we have an issue in one
    toolchain or backend.
    
  • (uncategorized) Add coverage token (#352) (6f659cf)

Contributors

Thank you so much to everyone that contributed to this release!

And most importantly, special thanks to Florian Dehau for creating this awesome library 💖 We look forward to building on the strong foundations that the original crate laid out.

v0.19.0 - 2022-08-14

Features

  • Bump crossterm to 0.25

v0.18.0 - 2022-04-24

Features

  • Update crossterm to 0.23

v0.17.0 - 2022-01-22

Features

  • Add option to widgets::List to repeat the highlight symbol for each line of multi-line items (#533).
  • Add option to control the alignment of Axis labels in the Chart widget (#568).

Breaking changes

  • The minimum supported rust version is now 1.56.1.

New default backend and consolidated backend options (#553)

  • crossterm is now the default backend. If you are already using the crossterm backend, you can simplify your dependency specification in Cargo.toml:
- tui = { version = "0.16", default-features = false, features = ["crossterm"] }
+ tui = "0.17"

If you are using the termion backend, your Cargo is now a bit more verbose:

- tui = "0.16"
+ tui = { version = "0.17", default-features = false, features = ["termion"] }

crossterm has also been bumped to version 0.22.

Because of their apparent low usage, curses and rustbox backends have been removed. If you are using one of them, you can import their last implementation in your own project:

Canvas labels (#543)

  • Labels of the Canvas widget are now text::Spans. The signature of widgets::canvas::Context::print has thus been updated:
- ctx.print(x, y, "Some text", Color::Yellow);
+ ctx.print(x, y, Span::styled("Some text", Style::default().fg(Color::Yellow)))

v0.16.0 - 2021-08-01

Features

  • Update crossterm to 0.20.
  • Add From<Cow<str>> implementation for text::Text (#471).
  • Add option to right or center align the title of a widgets::Block (#462).

Fixes

  • Apply label style in widgets::Gauge and avoid panics because of overflows with long labels (#494).
  • Avoid panics because of overflows with long axis labels in widgets::Chart (#512).
  • Fix computation of column widths in widgets::Table (#514).
  • Fix panics because of invalid offset when input changes between two frames in widgets::List and widgets::Chart (#516).

v0.15.0 - 2021-05-02

Features

  • Update crossterm to 0.19.
  • Update rand to 0.8.
  • Add a read-only view of the terminal state after the draw call (#440).

Fixes

  • Remove compile warning in TestBackend::assert_buffer (#466).

v0.14.0 - 2021-01-01

Breaking changes

New API for the Table widget

The Table widget got a lot of improvements that should make it easier to work with:

  • It should not longer panic when rendered on small areas.
  • Rows are now a collection of Cells, themselves wrapping a Text. This means you can style the entire Table, an entire Row, an entire Cell and rely on the styling capabilities of Text to get full control over the look of your Table.
  • Rows can have multiple lines.
  • The header is now optional and is just another Row always visible at the top.
  • Rows can have a bottom margin.
  • The header alignment is no longer off when an item is selected.

Taking the example of the code in examples/demo/ui.rs, this is what you may have to change:

     let failure_style = Style::default()
         .fg(Color::Red)
         .add_modifier(Modifier::RAPID_BLINK | Modifier::CROSSED_OUT);
-    let header = ["Server", "Location", "Status"];
     let rows = app.servers.iter().map(|s| {
         let style = if s.status == "Up" {
             up_style
         } else {
             failure_style
         };
-        Row::StyledData(vec![s.name, s.location, s.status].into_iter(), style)
+        Row::new(vec![s.name, s.location, s.status]).style(style)
     });
-    let table = Table::new(header.iter(), rows)
+    let table = Table::new(rows)
+        .header(
+            Row::new(vec!["Server", "Location", "Status"])
+                .style(Style::default().fg(Color::Yellow))
+                .bottom_margin(1),
+        )
         .block(Block::default().title("Servers").borders(Borders::ALL))
-        .header_style(Style::default().fg(Color::Yellow))
         .widths(&[
             Constraint::Length(15),
             Constraint::Length(15),

Here, we had to:

  • Change the way we construct Row which is no longer an enum but a struct. It accepts anything that can be converted to an iterator of things that can be converted to a Cell
  • The header is no longer a required parameter so we use Table::header to set it. Table::header_style has been removed since the style can be directly set using Row::style. In addition, we want to preserve the old margin between the header and the rest of the rows so we add a bottom margin to the header using Row::bottom_margin.

You may want to look at the documentation of the different types to get a better understanding:

Fixes

  • Fix handling of Non Breaking Space (NBSP) in wrapped text in Paragraph widget.

Features

  • Add Style::reset to create a Style resetting all styling properties when applied.
  • Add an option to render the Gauge widget with unicode blocks.
  • Manage common project tasks with cargo-make rather than make for easier on-boarding.

v0.13.0 - 2020-11-14

Features

  • Add LineGauge widget which is a more compact variant of the existing Gauge.
  • Bump crossterm to 0.18

Fixes

  • Take into account the borders of the Table widget when the widths of columns is controlled by Percentage and Ratio constraints.

v0.12.0 - 2020-09-27

Features

  • Make it easier to work with string with multiple lines in Text (#361).

Fixes

  • Fix a style leak in Graph so components drawn on top of the plotted data (i.e legend and axis titles) are not affected by the style of the Datasets (#388).
  • Make sure BarChart shows bars with the max height only when the plotted data is actually equal to the max (#383).

v0.11.0 - 2020-09-20

Features

  • Add the dot character as a new type of canvas marker (#350).
  • Support more style modifiers on Windows (#368).

Fixes

  • Clearing the terminal through Terminal::clear will cause the whole UI to be redrawn (#380).
  • Fix incorrect output when the first diff to draw is on the second cell of the terminal (#347).

v0.10.0 - 2020-07-17

Breaking changes

Easier cursor management

A new method has been added to Frame called set_cursor. It lets you specify where the cursor should be placed after the draw call. Furthermore like any other widgets, if you do not set a cursor position during a draw call, the cursor is automatically hidden.

For example:

fn draw_input(f: &mut Frame, app: &App) {
  if app.editing {
    let input_width = app.input.width() as u16;
    // The cursor will be placed just after the last character of the input
    f.set_cursor((input_width + 1, 0));
  } else {
    // We are no longer editing, the cursor does not have to be shown, set_cursor is not called and
    // thus automatically hidden.
  }
}

In order to make this possible, the draw closure takes in input &mut Frame instead of mut Frame.

Advanced text styling

It has been reported several times that the text styling capabilities were somewhat limited in many places of the crate. To solve the issue, this release includes a new set of text primitives that are now used by a majority of widgets to provide flexible text styling.

Text is replaced by the following types:

  • Span: a string with a unique style.
  • Spans: a string with multiple styles.
  • Text: a multi-lines string with multiple styles.

However, you do not always need this complexity so the crate provides From implementations to let you use simple strings as a default and switch to the previous primitives when you need additional styling capabilities.

For example, the title of a Block can be set in the following ways:

// A title with no styling
Block::default().title("My title");
// A yellow title
Block::default().title(Span::styled("My title", Style::default().fg(Color::Yellow)));
// A title where "My" is bold and "title" is a simple string
Block::default().title(vec![
    Span::styled("My", Style::default().add_modifier(Modifier::BOLD)),
    Span::from("title")
]);
  • Buffer::set_spans and Buffer::set_span were added.
  • Paragraph::new expects an input that can be converted to a Text.
  • Block::title_style is deprecated.
  • Block::title expects a Spans.
  • Tabs expects a list of Spans.
  • Gauge custom label is now a Span.
  • Axis title and labels are Spans (as a consequence Chart no longer has generic bounds).

Incremental styling

Previously Style was used to represent an exhaustive set of style rules to be applied to an UI element. It implied that whenever you wanted to change even only one property you had to provide the complete style. For example, if you had a Block where you wanted to have a green background and a title in bold, you had to do the following:

let style = Style::default().bg(Color::Green);
Block::default()
  .style(style)
  .title("My title")
  // Here we reused the style otherwise the background color would have been reset
  .title_style(style.modifier(Modifier::BOLD));

In this new release, you may now write this as:

Block::default()
    .style(Style::default().bg(Color::Green))
    // The style is not overridden anymore, we simply add new style rule for the title.
    .title(Span::styled("My title", Style::default().add_modifier(Modifier::BOLD)))

In addition, the crate now provides a method patch to combine two styles into a new set of style rules:

let style = Style::default().modifier(Modifier::BOLD);
let style = style.patch(Style::default().add_modifier(Modifier::ITALIC));
// style.modifier == Modifier::BOLD | Modifier::ITALIC, the modifier has been enriched not overridden
  • Style::modifier has been removed in favor of Style::add_modifier and Style::remove_modifier.
  • Buffer::set_style has been added. Buffer::set_background is deprecated.
  • BarChart::style no longer set the style of the bars. Use BarChart::bar_style in replacement.
  • Gauge::style no longer set the style of the gauge. Use Gauge::gauge_style in replacement.

List with item on multiple lines

The List widget has been refactored once again to support items with variable heights and complex styling.

  • List::new expects an input that can be converted to a Vec<ListItem> where ListItem is a wrapper around the item content to provide additional styling capabilities. ListItem contains a Text.
  • List::items has been removed.
// Before
let items = vec![
  "Item1",
  "Item2",
  "Item3"
];
List::default().items(items.iters());

// After
let items = vec![
  ListItem::new("Item1"),
  ListItem::new("Item2"),
  ListItem::new("Item3"),
];
List::new(items);

See the examples for more advanced usages.

More wrapping options

Paragraph::wrap expects Wrap instead of bool to let users decided whether they want to trim whitespaces when the text is wrapped.

// before
Paragraph::new(text).wrap(true)
// after
Paragraph::new(text).wrap(Wrap { trim: true }) // to have the same behavior
Paragraph::new(text).wrap(Wrap { trim: false }) // to use the new behavior

Horizontal scrolling in paragraph

You can now scroll horizontally in Paragraph. The argument of Paragraph::scroll has thus be changed from u16 to (u16, u16).

Features

Serialization of style

You can now serialize and de-serialize Style using the optional serde feature.

v0.9.5 - 2020-05-21

Bug Fixes

  • Fix out of bounds panic in widgets::Tabs when the widget is rendered on small areas.

v0.9.4 - 2020-05-12

Bug Fixes

  • Ignore zero-width graphemes in Buffer::set_stringn.

v0.9.3 - 2020-05-11

Bug Fixes

  • Fix usize overflows in widgets::Chart when a dataset is empty.

v0.9.2 - 2020-05-10

Bug Fixes

  • Fix usize overflows in widgets::canvas::Line drawing algorithm.

v0.9.1 - 2020-04-16

Bug Fixes

  • The List widget now takes into account the width of the highlight_symbol when calculating the total width of its items. It prevents items to overflow outside of the widget area.

v0.9.0 - 2020-04-14

Features

  • Introduce stateful widgets, i.e widgets that can take advantage of keeping some state around between two draw calls (#210 goes a bit more into the details).
  • Allow a Table row to be selected.
// State initialization
let mut state = TableState::default();

// In the terminal.draw closure
let header = ["Col1", "Col2", "Col"];
let rows = [
  Row::Data(["Row11", "Row12", "Row13"].into_iter())
];
let table = Table::new(header.into_iter(), rows.into_iter());
f.render_stateful_widget(table, area, &mut state);

// In response to some event:
state.select(Some(1));
  • Add a way to choose the type of border used to draw a block. You can now choose from plain, rounded, double and thick lines.

  • Add a graph_type property on the Dataset of a Chart widget. By default it will be Scatter where the points are drawn as is. An other option is Line where a line will be draw between each consecutive points of the dataset.

  • Style methods are now const, allowing you to initialize const Style objects.

  • Improve control over whether the legend in the Chart widget is shown or not. You can now set custom constraints using Chart::hidden_legend_constraints.

  • Add Table::header_gap to add some space between the header and the first row.

  • Remove log from the dependencies

  • Add a way to use a restricted set of unicode symbols in several widgets to improve portability in exchange of a degraded output. (see BarChart::bar_set, Sparkline::bar_set and Canvas::marker). You can check how the --enhanced-graphics flag is used in the demos.

Breaking Changes

  • Widget::render has been deleted. You should now use Frame::render_widget to render a widget on the corresponding Frame. This makes the Widget implementation totally decoupled from the Frame.
// Before
Block::default().render(&mut f, size);

// After
let block = Block::default();
f.render_widget(block, size);
  • Widget::draw has been renamed to Widget::render and the signature has been updated to reflect that widgets are consumable objects. Thus the method takes self instead of &mut self.
// Before
impl Widget for MyWidget {
  fn draw(&mut self, area: Rect, buf: &mut Buffer) {
  }
}

/// After
impl Widget for MyWidget {
  fn render(self, arera: Rect, buf: &mut Buffer) {
  }
}
  • Widget::background has been replaced by Buffer::set_background
// Before
impl Widget for MyWidget {
  fn render(self, arera: Rect, buf: &mut Buffer) {
    self.background(area, buf, self.style.bg);
  }
}

// After
impl Widget for MyWidget {
  fn render(self, arera: Rect, buf: &mut Buffer) {
    buf.set_background(area, self.style.bg);
  }
}
  • Update the Shape trait for objects that can be draw on a Canvas widgets. Instead of returning an iterator over its points, a Shape is given a Painter object that provides a paint as well as a get_point method. This gives the Shape more information about the surface it will be drawn to. In particular, this change allows the Line shape to use a more precise and efficient drawing algorithm (Bresenham's line algorithm).

  • SelectableList has been deleted. You can now take advantage of the associated ListState of the List widget to select an item.

// Before
List::new(&["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"])
  .select(Some(1))
  .render(&mut f, area);

// After

// State initialization
let mut state = ListState::default();

// In the terminal.draw closure
let list = List::new(&["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"]);
f.render_stateful_widget(list, area, &mut state);

// In response to some events
state.select(Some(1));
  • widgets::Marker has been moved to symbols::Marker

v0.8.0 - 2019-12-15

Breaking Changes

  • Bump crossterm to 0.14.
  • Add cross symbol to the symbols list.

Bug Fixes

  • Use the value of title_style to style the title of Axis.

v0.7.0 - 2019-11-29

Breaking Changes

  • Use Constraint instead of integers to specify the widths of the Table widget's columns. This will allow more responsive tables.
Table::new(header, row)
  .widths(&[15, 15, 10])
  .render(f, chunk);

becomes:

Table::new(header, row)
  .widths(&[
    Constraint::Length(15),
    Constraint::Length(15),
    Constraint::Length(10),
  ])
  .render(f, chunk);
  • Bump crossterm to 0.13.
  • Use Github Actions for CI (Travis and Azure Pipelines integrations have been deleted).

Features

  • Add support for horizontal and vertical margins in Layout.

Bug Fixes

  • Avoid a division by zero when all values in a barchart are equal to 0.
  • Fix the inverted cursor position in the curses backend.
  • Ensure that the correct terminal size is returned when using the crossterm backend.
  • Avoid highlighting the separator after the selected item in the Tabs widget.

v0.6.0 - 2019-05-18

Breaking Changes

  • Update crossterm backend

v0.5.1 - 2019-04-14

Bug Fixes

  • Fix a panic in the Sparkline widget

v0.5.0 - 2019-03-10

Features

  • Add a new curses backend (with Windows support thanks to pancurses).
  • Add Backend::get_cursor and Backend::set_cursor methods to query and set the position of the cursor.
  • Add more constructors to the Crossterm backend.
  • Add a demo for all backends using a shared UI and application state.
  • Add Ratio as a new variant of layout Constraint. It can be used to define exact ratios constraints.

Breaking Changes

  • Add support for multiple modifiers on the same Style by changing Modifier from an enum to a bitflags struct.

So instead of writing:

let style = Style::default().add_modifier(Modifier::Italic);

one should use:

let style = Style::default().add_modifier(Modifier::ITALIC);
// or
let style = Style::default().add_modifier(Modifier::ITALIC | Modifier::BOLD);

Bug Fixes

  • Ensure correct behavior of the alternate screens with the Crossterm backend.
  • Fix out of bounds panic when two Buffer are merged.

v0.4.0 - 2019-02-03

Features

  • Add a new canvas shape: Rectangle.
  • Official support of Crossterm backend.
  • Make it possible to choose the divider between Tabs.
  • Add word wrapping on Paragraph.
  • The gauge widget accepts a ratio (f64 between 0 and 1) in addition of a percentage.

Breaking Changes

  • Upgrade to Rust 2018 edition.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix rendering of double-width characters.
  • Fix race condition on the size of the terminal and expose a size that is safe to use when drawing through Frame::size.
  • Prevent unsigned int overflow on large screens.

v0.3.0 - 2018-11-04

Features

  • Add experimental test backend

v0.3.0-beta.3 - 2018-09-24

Features

  • show_cursor is called when Terminal is dropped if the cursor is hidden.

v0.3.0-beta.2 - 2018-09-23

Breaking Changes

  • Remove custom termion backends. This is motivated by the fact that termion structs are meant to be combined/wrapped to provide additional functionalities to the terminal (e.g AlternateScreen, Mouse support, ...). Thus providing exclusive types do not make a lot of sense and give a false hint that additional features cannot be used together. The recommended approach is now to create your own version of stdout:
let stdout = io::stdout().into_raw_mode()?;
let stdout = MouseTerminal::from(stdout);
let stdout = AlternateScreen::from(stdout);

and then to create the corresponding termion backend:

let backend = TermionBackend::new(stdout);

The resulting code is more verbose but it works with all combinations of additional termion features.

    • render takes a Frame instead of a Terminal
  • All widgets use the consumable builder pattern
  • SelectableList can have no selected item and the highlight symbol is hidden in this case
