ratatui 0.22.0

A library to build rich terminal user interfaces or dashboards
Documentation
//! This module provides the backend implementations for different terminal libraries.
//! It defines the [`Backend`] trait which is used to abstract over the specific
//! terminal library being used.
//!
//! The following terminal libraries are supported:
//! - Crossterm (with the `crossterm` feature)
//! - Termion (with the `termion` feature)
//! - Termwiz (with the `termwiz` feature)
//!
//! Additionally, a [`TestBackend`] is provided for testing purposes.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use ratatui::backend::{Backend, CrosstermBackend};
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let buffer = std::io::stdout();
//! let mut backend = CrosstermBackend::new(buffer);
//! backend.clear()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! [`Backend`]: trait.Backend.html
//! [`TestBackend`]: struct.TestBackend.html
