[0.30.0-alpha.1](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/0.30.0-alpha.1)
- 2025-01-14

0.30.0-alpha.1 is a pre-release of the upcoming 0.30.0 release. It is
intended for testing and
feedback. Please report any issues you encounter. The primary change is
that we've split the crate
into multiple crates. The main crate is now `ratatui-core` and the
widgets are in `ratatui-widgets`.
This allows for widget crates to depend on a stable core crate, and for
the core crate to be used
without widgets.

## `ratatui-widgets`

<blockquote>

##
[0.30.0-alpha.1](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/0.30.0-alpha.1)
- 2025-01-14

0.30.0-alpha.1 is a pre-release of the upcoming 0.30.0 release. It is
intended for testing and
feedback. Please report any issues you encounter. The primary change is
that we've split the crate
into multiple crates. The main crate is now `ratatui-core` and the
widgets are in `ratatui-widgets`.
This allows for widget crates to depend on a stable core crate, and for
the core crate to be used
without widgets.

##
[0.30.0-alpha.1](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/releases/tag/0.30.0-alpha.1)
- 2025-01-14

0.30.0-alpha.1 is a pre-release of the upcoming 0.30.0 release. It is
intended for testing and
feedback. Please report any issues you encounter. The primary change is
that we've split the crate
into multiple crates. The main crate is now `ratatui-core` and the
widgets are in `ratatui-widgets`.
This allows for widget crates to depend on a stable core crate, and for
the core crate to be used
without widgets.

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+https://forum.ratatui.rs/ or https://discord.gg/pMCEU9hNEj.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.
+

+version 2.0, available at

+### Documentation
+
+Here are some guidelines for writing documentation in Ratatui.
+
+Every public API **must** be documented.
+
+Keep in mind that Ratatui tends to attract beginner Rust users that may not be familiar with Rust
+concepts.
+
+#### Content
+
+The main doc comment should talk about the general features that the widget supports and introduce
+the concepts pointing to the various methods. Focus on interaction with various features and giving
+enough information that helps understand why you might want something.
+
+Examples should help users understand a particular usage, not test a feature. They should be as
+simple as possible. Prefer hiding imports and using wildcards to keep things concise. Some imports
+may still be shown to demonstrate a particular non-obvious import (e.g. `Stylize` trait to use style
+methods). Speaking of `Stylize`, you should use it over the more verbose style setters:
+
+```rust
+let style = Style::new().red().bold();
+// not
+let style = Style::default().fg(Color::Red).add_modifier(Modifiers::BOLD);
+```
+
+#### Format
+
+- First line is summary, second is blank, third onward is more detail
+
+```rust
+/// Summary
+///
+/// A detailed description
+/// with examples.
+fn foo() {}
+```
+
+- Max line length is 100 characters
+See [VS Code rewrap extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stkb.rewrap)
+
+- Doc comments are above macros
+i.e.
+
+```rust
+/// doc comment
+#[derive(Debug)]
+struct Foo {}
+```
+
+- Code items should be between backticks
+i.e. ``[`Block`]``, **NOT** ``[Block]``
+
+### Deprecation notice
+
+We generally want to wait at least two versions before removing deprecated items, so users have
+time to update. However, if a deprecation is blocking for us to implement a new feature we may
+*consider* removing it in a one version notice.
+

-Ratatui is mostly backwards compatible with `tui-rs`. To migrate an existing project, it may be
-easier to rename the ratatui dependency to `tui` rather than updating every usage of the crate.
-E.g.:
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-tui = { package = "ratatui", version = "0.22.0", features = ["all-widgets"]}
-```
-
-## Introduction
-
-`ratatui` is a terminal UI library that supports multiple backends:
-
-* [crossterm](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm) [default]
-* [termion](https://github.com/ticki/termion)
-* [termwiz](https://github.com/wez/wezterm/tree/master/termwiz)
-
-The library is based on the principle of immediate rendering with intermediate buffers. This means
-that at each new frame you should build all widgets that are supposed to be part of the UI. While
-providing a great flexibility for rich and interactive UI, this may introduce overhead for highly
-dynamic content. So, the implementation try to minimize the number of ansi escapes sequences
-generated to draw the updated UI. In practice, given the speed of `Rust` the overhead rather comes
-from the terminal emulator than the library itself.
-
-Moreover, the library does not provide any input handling nor any event system and you may rely on
-the previously cited libraries to achieve such features.
-
-We keep a [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) generated by [git-cliff](https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff)
-utilizing [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/).
+[Ratatui][Ratatui Website] (_ˌræ.təˈtu.i_) is a Rust crate for cooking up terminal user interfaces
+(TUIs). It provides a simple and flexible way to create text-based user interfaces in the terminal,
+which can be used for command-line applications, dashboards, and other interactive console programs.
 
 ## Quickstart
 
-The following example demonstrates the minimal amount of code necessary to setup a terminal and
-render "Hello World!". The full code for this example which contains a little more detail is in
-[hello_world.rs](./examples/hello_world.rs). For more guidance on how to create Ratatui apps, see
-the [Docs](https://docs.rs/ratatui) and [Examples](#examples). There is also a starter template
-available at [rust-tui-template](https://github.com/ratatui-org/rust-tui-template).
+Ratatui has [templates] available to help you get started quickly. You can use the
+[`cargo-generate`] command to create a new project with Ratatui:
 
-```rust
-fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
-    let mut terminal = setup_terminal()?;
-    run(&mut terminal)?;
-    restore_terminal(&mut terminal)?;
-    Ok(())
-}
-
-fn setup_terminal() -> Result<Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>, Box<dyn Error>> {
-    let mut stdout = io::stdout();
-    enable_raw_mode()?;
-    execute!(stdout, EnterAlternateScreen)?;
-    Ok(Terminal::new(CrosstermBackend::new(stdout))?)
-}
-
-fn restore_terminal(
-    terminal: &mut Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>,
-) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
-    disable_raw_mode()?;
-    execute!(terminal.backend_mut(), LeaveAlternateScreen,)?;
-    Ok(terminal.show_cursor()?)
-}
-
-fn run(terminal: &mut Terminal<CrosstermBackend<Stdout>>) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
-    Ok(loop {
-        terminal.draw(|frame| {
-            let greeting = Paragraph::new("Hello World!");
-            frame.render_widget(greeting, frame.size());
-        })?;
-        if event::poll(Duration::from_millis(250))? {
-            if let Event::Key(key) = event::read()? {
-                if KeyCode::Char('q') == key.code {
-                    break;
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    })
-}
+```shell
+cargo install --locked cargo-generate
+cargo generate ratatui/templates
 ```
 
-## Status of this fork
+Selecting the Hello World template produces the following application:
 
-In response to the original maintainer [**Florian Dehau**](https://github.com/fdehau)'s issue
-regarding the [future of `tui-rs`](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs/issues/654), several members of
-the community forked the project and created this crate. We look forward to continuing the work
-started by Florian 🚀
+```rust
+use color_eyre::Result;
+use crossterm::event::{self, Event};
+use ratatui::{DefaultTerminal, Frame};
 
-In order to organize ourselves, we currently use a [Discord server](https://discord.gg/pMCEU9hNEj),
-feel free to join and come chat! There are also plans to implement a [Matrix](https://matrix.org/)
-bridge in the near future. **Discord is not a MUST to contribute**. We follow a pretty standard
-github centered open source workflow keeping the most important conversations on GitHub, open an
-issue or PR and it will be addressed. 😄
+fn main() -> Result<()> {
+    color_eyre::install()?;
+    let terminal = ratatui::init();
+    let result = run(terminal);
+    ratatui::restore();
+    result
+}
 
-Please make sure you read the updated [contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines, especially if
-you are interested in working on a PR or issue opened in the previous repository.
+fn run(mut terminal: DefaultTerminal) -> Result<()> {
+    loop {
+        terminal.draw(render)?;
+        if matches!(event::read()?, Event::Key(_)) {
+            break Ok(());
+        }
+    }
+}
 
-## Rust version requirements
-
-Since version 0.21.0, The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) of `ratatui` is 1.65.0.
+fn render(frame: &mut Frame) {
+    frame.render_widget("hello world", frame.area());
+}
+```
 
 ## Documentation
 
-The documentation can be found on [docs.rs.](https://docs.rs/ratatui)
+- [Docs] - the full API documentation for the library on docs.rs.
+- [Ratatui Website] - explains the library's concepts and provides step-by-step tutorials.
+- [Ratatui Forum] - a place to ask questions and discuss the library.
+- [Widget Examples] - a collection of examples that demonstrate how to use the library.
+- [App Examples] - a collection of more complex examples that demonstrate how to build apps.
+- [Changelog] - generated by [git-cliff] utilizing [Conventional Commits].
+- [Breaking Changes] - a list of breaking changes in the library.
 
-## Examples
+You can also watch the [EuroRust 2024 talk] to learn about common concepts in Ratatui and what's
+possible to build with it.
 
-The demo shown in the gif above is available on all available backends.
+## Templates
+
+If you're looking to get started quickly, you can use one of the available templates from the
+[templates] repository using [`cargo-generate`]:
 
 ```shell
-# crossterm
-cargo run --example demo
-# termion
-cargo run --example demo --no-default-features --features=termion
-# termwiz
-cargo run --example demo --no-default-features --features=termwiz
+cargo generate ratatui/templates
 ```
 
-The UI code for this is in [examples/demo/ui.rs](./examples/demo/ui.rs) while the application state
-is in [examples/demo/app.rs](./examples/demo/app.rs).
+## Built with Ratatui
 
-If the user interface contains glyphs that are not displayed correctly by your terminal, you may
-want to run the demo without those symbols:
+[![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge-flat2.svg)][awesome-ratatui]
 
-```shell
-cargo run --example demo --release -- --tick-rate 200 --enhanced-graphics false
-```
-
-More examples are available in the [examples](./examples/) folder.
-
-## Widgets
-
-### Built in
-
-The library comes with the following
-[widgets](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/index.html):
-
-* [BarChart](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.BarChart.html)
-* [Block](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/block/struct.Block.html)

-* [Canvas](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/canvas/struct.Canvas.html) which allows
-  rendering [points, lines, shapes and a world
-  map](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/canvas/index.html)
-* [Chart](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.Chart.html)
-* [Clear](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.Clear.html)
-* [Gauge](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.Gauge.html)
-* [List](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.List.html)
-* [Paragraph](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/struct.Paragraph.html)
-* [Scrollbar](https://docs.rs/ratatui/latest/ratatui/widgets/scrollbar/struct.Scrollbar.html)

 # Creating a Release
 
+Our release strategy is:
+
+> Release major versions with detailed summaries when necessary, while releasing minor versions
+> weekly or as needed without extensive announcements.
+>
+> Versioning scheme being `0.x.y`, where `x` is the major version and `y` is the minor version.
+
 [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/ratatui) releases are automated via [GitHub
 actions](.github/workflows/cd.yml) and triggered by pushing a tag.
 
-1. Record a new demo gif. The preferred tool for this is [ttyrec](http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/) and
-   [ttygif](https://github.com/icholy/ttygif). [Asciinema](https://asciinema.org/) handles block
-   character height poorly, [termanilizer](https://www.terminalizer.com/) takes forever to render,
-   [vhs](https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs) handles braille
-   characters poorly (though if <https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/issues/322> is fixed, then
-   it's probably the best option).
+1. Record a new demo gif if necessary. The preferred tool for this is
+[vhs](https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs) (installation instructions in README).
 
    ```shell
-   cargo build --example demo
-   ttyrec -e 'cargo --quiet run --release --example demo -- --tick-rate 100' demo.rec
-   ttygif demo.rec
+   cargo build --example demo2
+   vhs examples/demo2.tape
    ```
 
-   Then upload it somewhere (e.g. use `vhs publish tty.gif` to publish it or upload it to a GitHub
-   wiki page as an attachment). Avoid adding the gif to the git repo as binary files tend to bloat
-   repositories.
+1. Switch branches to the images branch and copy demo2.gif to examples/, commit, and push.
+1. Grab the permalink from <https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/blob/images/examples/demo2.gif> and
+   append `?raw=true` to redirect to the actual image url. Then update the link in the main README.
+   Avoid adding the gif to the git repo as binary files tend to bloat repositories.
 
 1. Bump the version in [Cargo.toml](Cargo.toml).
 1. Ensure [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) is updated. [git-cliff](https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff)
    can be used for generating the entries.
+1. Ensure that any breaking changes are documented in [BREAKING-CHANGES.md](./BREAKING-CHANGES.md)
 1. Commit and push the changes.

+## Alpha Releases
+
+Alpha releases are automatically released every Saturday via [cd.yml](./.github/workflows/cd.yml)
+and can be manually created when necessary by triggering the [Continuous
+Deployment](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/actions/workflows/cd.yml) workflow.
+
+We automatically release an alpha release with a patch level bump + alpha.num weekly (and when we
+need to manually). E.g. the last release was 0.22.0, and the most recent alpha release is
+0.22.1-alpha.1.
+
+These releases will have whatever happened to be in main at the time of release, so they're useful
+for apps that need to get releases from crates.io, but may contain more bugs and be generally less
+tested than normal releases.
+
+See [#147](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/issues/147) and
+[#359](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui/pull/359) for more info on the alpha release process.

 # Examples
 
-These gifs were created using [Charm VHS](https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs).
+This folder contains examples that are more application focused.
+There are also [widget examples] in `ratatui-widgets`.
 
-VHS has a problem rendering some background color transitions, which shows up in several examples
-below. See <https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/issues/344> for more info. These problems don't
-occur in a terminal.
+[widget examples]: ../ratatui-widgets/examples
 
-## Barchart ([barchart.rs](./barchart.rs)
+You can run these examples using:
 
 ```shell
-cargo run --example=barchart --features=crossterm
+cargo run -p example-name
 ```
 
-![Barchart][barchart.gif]
+This folder might use unreleased code. Consider viewing the examples in the `latest` branch instead
+of the `main` branch for code which is guaranteed to work with the released ratatui version.
 
-## Block ([block.rs](./block.rs))
+> [!WARNING]
+>
+> There may be 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/ratatui/tree/v0.26.1/examples>.
+> - If you're viewing this file on GitHub, 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. E.g. `git switch --detach v0.26.1`.
+> - Use the latest [alpha version of Ratatui] in your app. 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/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.
 
-```shell
-cargo run --example=block --features=crossterm
-```
+## Design choices
 
-![Block][block.gif]
+The examples contain some opinionated choices in order to make it easier for newer rustaceans to
+easily be productive in creating applications:
 
-## Calendar ([calendar.rs](./calendar.rs))
+- Each example has an `App` struct, with methods that implement a main loop, handle events and drawing
+  the UI.
+- We use `color_eyre` for handling errors and panics. See [How to use color-eyre with Ratatui] on the
+  website for more information about this.
+- Common code is not extracted into a separate file. This makes each example self-contained and easy
+  to read as a whole.

+//! # [Ratatui] Async example
+//!
+//! This example demonstrates how to use Ratatui with widgets that fetch data asynchronously. It
+//! uses the `octocrab` crate to fetch a list of pull requests from the GitHub API.
+//!
+//! <https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token>
+//! <https://github.com/settings/tokens/new> to create a new token (select classic, and no scopes)
+//!
+//! This example does not cover message passing between threads, it only demonstrates how to manage
+//! shared state between the main thread and a background task, which acts mostly as a one-shot
+//! fetcher. For more complex scenarios, you may need to use channels or other synchronization
+//! primitives.
+//!
+//! A simple app might have multiple widgets that fetch data from different sources, and each widget
+//! would have its own background task to fetch the data. The main thread would then render the
+//! widgets with the latest data.
+//!
+//! The latest version of this example is available in the [examples] folder in the repository.
+//!
+//! Please note that the examples are designed to be run against the `main` branch of the Github
+//! repository. This means that you may not be able to compile with the latest release version on
+//! crates.io, or the one that you have installed locally.
+//!
+//! See the [examples readme] for more information on finding examples that match the version of the
+//! library you are using.

+//! A Ratatui example that shows the full range of RGB colors that can be displayed in the terminal.
+//!
+//! Requires a terminal that supports 24-bit color (true color) and unicode.
+//!
+//! This example also demonstrates how implementing the Widget trait on a mutable reference
+//! allows the widget to update its state while it is being rendered. This allows the fps
+//! widget to update the fps calculation and the colors widget to update a cached version of
+//! the colors to render instead of recalculating them every frame.
+//!
+//! This is an alternative to using the `StatefulWidget` trait and a separate state struct. It
+//! is useful when the state is only used by the widget and doesn't need to be shared with
+//! other widgets.
+//!
+//! This example runs with the Ratatui library code in the branch that you are currently reading.
+//! See the [`latest`] branch for the code which works with the most recent Ratatui release.
