📦 Installation

dotnet add package AdvancedConsole

Target framework: .NET 8.0 Keine Abhängigkeiten außer Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions.

🚀 Quickstart

using AdvancedConsole;

// Section & Figlet
TextLayout.Section("Demo");
Figlet.Write("ADV CONSOLE", ConsoleColor.Cyan);

// Info lines
ColorWriter.WriteLineInfo("This is info");
ColorWriter.WriteLineSuccess("This is success");
ColorWriter.WriteLineWarning("This is warning");
ColorWriter.WriteLineError("This is error");

// Inline tags
ColorWriter.WriteTaggedLine("Inline [green]green[/], [red]red[/], [bg=blue][white]white on blue[/][/]");

// Prompts
bool go = Prompt.YesNo("Continue?");
string name = Prompt.Input("Your name", defaultValue: "Ben");
string pw = Prompt.Password("Enter password");
var choice = Prompt.Select("Pick one", new[] { "Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie" });

// Progress & spinner
using (var pb = new ProgressBar("Working...", 30))
{
    for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i += 10)
    {
        pb.Report(i / 100.0, $"Progress {i}%");
        await Task.Delay(120);
    }
}

🌀 Animations

// Marquee scrolling
await Animation.Marquee("Scrolling text →", width: 30, ms: 80, loops: 1);

// Gradient text
Animation.GradientText("Hello Gradient", ConsoleColor.Cyan, ConsoleColor.Magenta);

// Shimmering text
await Animation.Shimmer(
    text: "ADVANCED CONSOLE",
    baseColor: ConsoleColor.DarkGray,
    highlightColor: ConsoleColor.White,
    window: 5,
    ms: 40,
    loops: 2);

📊 Tables & Trees

new Table()
    .WithHeaders("Id", "Name", "Score")
    .AddRow("1", "Alice", "12")
    .AddRow("2", "Bob", "37")
    .WithBorderColor(ConsoleColor.DarkCyan)
    .Write();

var root = new TreeNode("root");
root.Add("bin").Add("debug");
var src = root.Add("src");
src.Add("ConsoleX");
TreeRenderer.Write(root);

📜 Logging

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

ILogger logger = LoggerFactory.Create(b => b.AddConsole()).CreateLogger("demo");

logger.LogSuccess("Operation succeeded");
logger.LogWarningBox("Something looks odd...");
logger.LogErrorBox("Something failed", new Exception("Boom!"));

// Capture console to file
LogCapture.Start("output.log");
Console.WriteLine("This line is also written to output.log");
LogCapture.Stop();
