Features

As ratatui grows and evolves, this list may change, so make sure to check the main repo if you are unsure.

Backend Selection

See How to Choose a Backend for more information. However, for most cases, the default crossterm backend is enough.

# Defaults to crossterm
cargo add ratatui
# Unset the default crossterm feature and select one of the other backends
cargo add ratatui --no-default-features --features=terminon
cargo add ratatui --no-default-features --features=termwiz

All-Widgets

This feature enables some extra widgets that are not in default to save on compile time. As of v0.21, the only widget in this feature group is the calendar widget, which can be enabled with the widget-calendar feature.

cargo add ratatui --features all-widgets

This feature enables the calendar widget, which requires the time crate.

cargo add ratatui --features widget-calendar

Serde

cargo add ratatui --features serde
