I wrote Ratiform to stop writing forms in Ratatui
Il problema: due campi vanno bene, tre iniziano a far male Chi ha scritto anche solo una TUI con Ratatui conosce la progressione. Il primo input è banale: uno String nello stato dell'app, un match sugli eventi tastiera per gestire inserimento e cancellazione, un widget Paragraph per disegnarlo. Forse solo cinque minuti di lavoro. Il secondo campo si scrive praticamente per copia-incolla del…
The article discusses the challenges of managing forms in a Rust application, specifically with the Ratatui library. As the number of fields increases, the code becomes more complex, with issues such as focus management, validation, and rendering. To address this, the author created a crate called `ratiform`, which provides a structured approach to form management. `ratiform` uses a generic type `T` to identify fields, allowing for type-safe and efficient management of form state.
The article demonstrates how to use `ratiform` to create a simple form with one or multiple fields, including text inputs, checkboxes, and select menus.
