v0.26.2

https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/v0.26.2

The minimum supported Rust version of Ratatui is updated from 1.70.0 to 1.74.0.


We introduced a new method for List which allows a certain number of items be kept visible above and below the currently selected item while scrolling.

let list = List::new(items).scroll_padding(1);
Demo of the new behavior

Line and Text widgets now implement FromIterator which means you can:

  • Construct Line from an iterator of Span
let line = Line::from_iter(vec!["Hello".blue(), " world!".green()]);
let line: Line = iter::once("Hello".blue())
.chain(iter::once(" world!".green()))
.collect();
  • Construct Text from an iterator of Line
let text = Text::from_iter(vec!["The first line", "The second line"]);
let text: Text = iter::once("The first line")
.chain(iter::once("The second line"))
.collect();

We added the following methods to the Text and Line structs:

  • Text::push_line
  • Text::push_span
  • Line::push_span

This allows for adding lines and spans to a text object without having to call methods on the fields directly, which is useful for incremental construction of text objects.

For example:

let mut line = Line::from("Hello, ");
line.push_span(Span::raw("world!"));
line.push_span(" How are you?");

Widget is now implemented for &str and String, which makes it easier to render strings with no styles as widgets.

Example usage:

terminal.draw(|f| f.render_widget("Hello World!", f.size()))?;

The following Span methods are renamed accordingly to the Rust method naming conventions.

Deprecated usage:

  • Span::to_centered_line
  • Span::to_left_aligned_line
  • Span::to_right_aligned_line

New usage:

  • Span::into_centered_line
  • Span::into_left_aligned_line
  • Span::into_right_aligned_line

We are happy to share that we have received a funding donation from Radicle!
