Block Example
This example demonstrates the versatile Block widget, which provides the visual container, borders, and titles for almost every other widget in ratatui_ruby.
Key Concepts
-
Borders: Choose which sides to show and apply different border types (plain, rounded, double, thick, etc.).
-
Titles: Add a main title with alignment or multiple titles at the top and bottom with independent styles and positions.
-
Padding: Define inner spacing using uniform or directional (L/R/T/B) values.
-
Styling: Individually style the block’s content area, its borders, and its titles.
-
Custom Border Sets: Create entirely custom border appearances by defining each character in the border set.
