# Examples
This folder contains unreleased code. View the [examples for the latest release
(0.25.0)](https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/tree/v0.25.0/examples) instead.
> [!WARNING]
>
> There are backwards incompatible changes in these examples, as they are designed to compile
> against the `main` branch.
>
> There are a few workaround for this problem:
>
> - View the examples as they were when the latest version was release by selecting the tag that
> matches that version. E.g. <https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/tree/v0.25.0/examples>. There
> is a combo box at the top of this page which allows you to select any previous tagged version.
> - To view the code locally, checkout the tag using `git switch --detach v0.25.0`.
> - Use the latest [alpha version of Ratatui]. These are released weekly on Saturdays.
> - Compile your code against the main branch either locally by adding e.g. `path = "../ratatui"` to
> the dependency, or remotely by adding `git = "https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui"`
>
> For a list of unreleased breaking changes, see [BREAKING-CHANGES.md].
>
> We don't keep the CHANGELOG updated with unreleased changes, check the git commit history or run
> `git-cliff -u` against a cloned version of this repository.

## How to update these examples
These gifs were created using [VHS](https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs). Each example has a
corresponding `.tape` file that holds instructions for how to generate the images. Note that the
images themselves are stored in a separate `images` git branch to avoid bloating the main
repository.
<!--
Links to images to make them easier to update in bulk. Use the following script to update and upload
the examples to the images branch. (Requires push access to the branch).
```shell
examples/vhs/generate.bash
```
