Ratatui support

[dzfrias]

With the release of ratatui, it would be nice to have a feature flag or release of this crate that supports it!

Yes, this should be supported. Though currently I don't have enough velocity to implement this, I'd like to work on this with higher priority when I have enough time.

One thing I need to clarify is version of crossterm dependency.

• tui-rs is depending on v0.25
• ratatui is depending on v0.26

Currently tui-textarea is directly depending on v0.25 to align with tui-rs. I'm not sure we can switch the version of crossterm crate depending on tui-rs or ratatui respectively. I need to check if Cargo allows different versions of same crate to exist in dependencies list.

I confirmed the following change worked.

is possible.

Now I wonder how handle the combination of (tui, ratatui) * (crossterm, termion) with features of this crate. Current idea is adding the following features separate from original crossterm and termion features.

• ratatui-crossterm
• ratatui-termion

I'm working on this in ratatui branch

Hi @rhysd, thanks for the ratatui support <3 Is it already available?

Just followed the instructions on README.md but got this error:

the package `X` depends on `tui-textarea`, with features: `ratatui-crossterm` but `tui-textarea` does not have these features.

Sorry if it is a silly question, I'm just not familiarized with Cargo releases

Additional Info: Cargo.toml

crossterm = "0.26.1"
tui = { package = "ratatui", version = "0.20.1" }
tui-textarea = { version = "0.2.0",  features = ["ratatui-crossterm"], default-features = false }
