tui_panel_select/panel.rs
1//! A ready-to-use, batteries-included wrapper: [`SelectablePanel`].
2//!
3//! The primitives in [`crate::wrapcache`] and [`crate::selection`] are
4//! deliberately stateless (easy to embed in an existing app that already
5//! owns its own selection state). `SelectablePanel` bundles them into the
6//! smallest useful stateful object for the common case: one scrollable text
7//! panel whose content can be mouse-selected and copied, with the selection
8//! confined to the panel and surviving resizes/rewraps.
9//!
10//! # Example
11//!
12//! ```
13//! use std::sync::Arc;
14//! use ratatui::layout::Rect;
15//! use tui_panel_select::SelectablePanel;
16//!
17//! let mut panel = SelectablePanel::new();
18//! // Each frame, before drawing, tell the panel its text and inner width.
19//! panel.set_content(Arc::from("hello world\nsecond line"), 40);
20//!
21//! // The panel's inner text area on screen, and its current scroll offset.
22//! let area = Rect::new(1, 1, 40, 10);
23//! let scroll = 0;
24//!
25//! // Mouse down starts a selection; drag extends it; up copies it.
26//! panel.begin_selection(area, scroll, (1, 1)); // click at "h"
27//! panel.extend_selection(area, scroll, (5, 1)); // drag to "o"
28//! assert_eq!(panel.selected_text().as_deref(), Some("hello"));
29//!
30//! // On mouse-up, copy to the system clipboard (best-effort).
31//! panel.copy_selection();
32//! ```
33//!
34//! Rendering each frame:
35//!
36//! ```no_run
37//! # use tui_panel_select::SelectablePanel;
38//! # use ratatui::layout::Rect;
39//! # let panel = SelectablePanel::new();
40//! # let area = Rect::new(0, 0, 40, 10);
41//! # let scroll = 0u16;
42//! // 1. Draw the visible wrapped rows:
43//! let rows = panel.visible_rows(scroll, area.height);
44//! // ...render `rows` into `area`...
45//!
46//! // 2. Paint the highlight over the selected cells:
47//! for (row, col_from, col_to) in panel.highlight_cells(area, scroll) {
48//! // ...invert/style cells [col_from, col_to) on terminal row `row`...
49//! let _ = (row, col_from, col_to);
50//! }
51//! ```
