This introduces a new `ratatui::run()` method which runs a closure with
a terminal initialized with reasonable defaults for most applications.
This calls `ratatui::init()` before running the closure and
`ratatui::restore()` after the closure completes, and returns the result
of the closure.
A minimal hello world example using the new `ratatui::run()` method:
```rust
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
ratatui::run(|terminal| {
loop {
terminal.draw(|frame| frame.render_widget("Hello World!", frame.area()))?;
if crossterm::event::read()?.is_key_press() {
break Ok(());
}
}
})
}
```
Of course, this also works both with apps that use free methods and
structs:
```rust
fn run(terminal: &mut DefaultTerminal) -> Result<(), AppError> { ... }
ratatui::run(run)?;
```
```rust
struct App { ... }
impl App {
fn new() -> Self { ... }
fn run(mut self, terminal: &mut DefaultTerminal) -> Result<(), AppError> { ... }
}
ratatui::run(|terminal| App::new().run(terminal))?;
```
Minimal demo
This example shows how to create a minimal application.
