This is an experiment in converting a program that used the Terminal provided by tui-react into a program that uses the Terminal provided by ratatui. My hypothesis was that the two were not significantly different from eachother, and this seems to be true in this case.
I found that
Widget
trait used by ratatui'sTerminal
is sufficiently powerful to pass arbitrary mutable state to rendering code. A relatively simpleFunctionWidget
trampoline is used to achieve this.The tui_react dependency is retained. The code still calls some tui_react utility functions and uses its List widget instead of the ratatui List widget. These utilities do not depend on the tui_react Terminal and could, in theory, be split out of tui-react into a separate crate.
